Bohdan Higley· a year agoAfter struggling to find quality courts to play pickleball with my friends in Panama City I found Papa Joes. This is a great facility with well maintained courts and a great community of players. The customer service is excellent and it is right next to food and beverage carts along with pontoon boat rentals which makes it fun for the whole day. I highly recommend this spot if you love pickle ball and you are in the Panama City area!
