When we arrived, we were greeted by the owner ( who was so welcoming and kind). We used the party room upstairs which was soooo spacious, nicely designed, clean and well equipped with benches for viewing, a kitchen, sink, counter space for food and drinks and even kids chairs and TV. Also we could play music while the kids played basketball. I give the place a solid 10 out of 10. They also have basketball leagues for kids. We will definitely be back!

The facility itself is cool, modern, and clearly designed with basketball lovers in mind. The GM Alan was amazing to work with--super responsive, helpful, and genuinely kind throughout the entire process. If you're looking for a fun, unique, and hoop-friendly place to host a party, this is it! Highly recommend!

For my love of sports, I dedicate my 2,200th Yelp review to all the tennis and pickleball enthusiasts in the world. This one is for you! On the weekend of March 7 & 8, 2026, I had the fun opportunity to attend the PPA Tour - SXY Newport Beach Open Semi-Finals Saturday and Championship Sunday. This wonderful venue was held at The Tennis & Pickleball Club in Newport Beach. It was walking distance from Fashion Island, but I ended up parking nearby and got shuttled to the event. Check-in was easy. Line went really fast. Staff was friendly and helpful. Tennis and pickleball courts were really nice and well maintained. Both Semi-Finals and Championship matches were held at the Humana Championship Court. Seating was not pre-assigned... first come first served. I was lucky to get pretty good seats on both days. Thank you! Bleachers seating was not the most comfortable. I forgot to bring my cushion. Oh well. There were a lot of participants and spectators. Various merch and service vendors plus Pickleball Central were present. Bought myself a custom sweater with cute quote "Great minds dink a like". Food and beverage options were limited. Luxury restroom trailers were located in the parking lot outside of the club. All singles and doubles matches were amazing. All pro pickleball players were spectacular in their game. I love watching pickleball! SXY Newport Beach Open Winners (2026 PPA Tour): ~Mixed Doubles: Anna Leigh Waters & Ben Johns def.

Federico Staksrud At the end of the event, Anna Leigh Waters (ALW) took photos with the fans. I was one of the lucky fans. She signed my cap, too. So cool! Thank you so much ALW! What a fun weekend! I look forward to more pro pickleball events in the future. Maybe one day I'll register to play pickleball along side with the pros. I just need to find myself a pickleball doubles partner. I can't wait! For the tennis and pickleball enthusiasts, keep playing the sports you love always and forever! Win or lose, just play your game and have fun!

It made for a really good venue although the PPA attracts so many players and fans that for this particular tournament, they probably need to add some additional food and beverage options!

I had a really disappointing experience with ID Sports in Irvine. The tournament was extremely…read moreshort--barely enough time to feel like we actually got to compete--and yet the fees were way higher than expected. It honestly felt like we paid premium prices for something rushed and poorly structured. Organization was lacking, schedules felt squeezed, and overall it just didn't justify the cost at all. If you're thinking about signing up, I'd definitely recommend asking a lot of questions upfront about game time and value. Not worth the money in my opinion! It costed $130 for me and my partner to get 3 guaranteed games in the tournament.

This is a very nice facility for pickleball, however, I would be wary of tournaments here. I played…read morein a tournament a few months ago which was great. There were 7 teams, so each team played 6 games in a round robin, and then the top 4 teams advanced to playoffs. Every team was guaranteed 6 games. Not bad for a $55 tournament. However today, I played in another tournament. There were 8 teams instead of 7. However, rather than a full round robin so everyone would play 7 games, they split us into two groups of 4 teams, and we only did one round robin. So we were only guaranteed 3 games. Only 3 guaranteed games for the same $55 price is an absolute rip off. I'm not sure why we couldn't do a double round robin to play each team in our group twice. The tournament website also said there would be more consolation games for teams, but that was not the case. Was very optimistic going into the second tournament here since the first one was so great. But the tournament today was such a rip off that I don't think I will be coming back here for another tournament. 3 guaranteed games is a joke.

The Aikai has a larger sweet spot. The paddle manufacturing/design quality is higher; for example, the edge is solid unlike many paddles where the edge becomes loose and any shots on the edge just dies. The Aikai has very good touch and feel for the resets and the dinks. And the Aikai has power when needed. The spin creation is good. The paddle is more maneuverable. What a fantastic paddle for the price...it's better than my $200 Engage.
