Bill Risk· a month agoVery nice facility. Even if you don't play pickle ball, The restaurant is amazing. The service and food was excellent. We had extra people show up for our event. They went out of their way to accommodate us. Truly incredible service. The pickle ball courts are beautiful. We had a great time.
Karen Grey· a month agoKudos to Visit Lauderdale for an unbelievable week of promoting Fort Lauderdale with visitors and press from international, national, and nearby locations. I met press from the UK, China, Argentina, Peru, Michigan, Atlanta, Canada, Mexico and a plethora of other nations at their Press Brunch this Monday, May 18th. It all took place at FORT Pickleball. The place is truly amazing. It's Pickleball and so much more. A gem in the heart of Broward County. If you haven't been, you need to go.
P Murphy· 5 months agoWhat an amazing facility, I was completely shocked once I pulled up to the facility. This is the largest, nicest pickleball courts I have ever seen. The entire property is beautiful. If you pay pickleball this is a must see.
MJ Jimmix· 5 months agoThe facility itself deserves five stars for its excellent setup. It features multiple courts spread across different levels, along with amenities such as restrooms, a bar, water fountains, and designated areas for open play. The overall layout and atmosphere are well designed for players of all levels. However, my experience drops to two stars due to poor communication. This was our first visit, and we each paid $25 plus tax, only to later find out that a private tournament was taking place. No one informed us of this at check-in. Around noon, we were asked to relocate to just two courts allocated for open play. Unfortunately, those courts were overcrowded, and we ended up waiting over 40 minutes between games. The management should be upfront about limited court availability during private events so customers can make informed decisions. Honestly, considering the number of high-quality public courts available across Miami and Broward for open play, many players may prefer to save their money and play elsewhere.
Review S· 6 months ago⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Coach Jaime was absolutely wonderful with me and my family. He was incredibly patient, fun, and made the class enjoyable for everyone while still teaching us so much. One of the biggest takeaways was learning that it’s better to hit long than hit the net, and to always play to live another day. He emphasized letting the ball go and saying “good shot” instead of risking injury — such a smart and refreshing approach that really stuck with us. Because of Coach Jaime’s class, we’ll be signing up for private lessons and a family membership. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn, improve, and have a great time doing it.
