Bring your crew and try a round — you might find your new favorite sport! Plus, our courts are right by the patio, perfect for post-match libations.
What Is Padel?
Don’t mistake it for paddleball, racquetball, or squash: Padel is a unique fast-paced paddle sport that takes place in enclosed courts. Fast paced, easy to learn, and ridiculously fun, padel is the sport everyone tries once…and then can’t forget!
Padel blends elements of several other paddle sports:
The enclosed arena of racquetball/squash
The smaller, more forgiving court size of pickleball
Speed and intensity that approaches tennis
Padel sits between tennis and pickleball in terms of intensity and action. Usually played in doubles, padel keeps the action contained with enclosures on all sides. It’s a very beginner-friendly sport, yet it offers intense competition for seasoned players.
