Cool indoor padel and pickleball place. The courts were nice. The only downside is their lights…read more They were positioned so that one side of the court was like looking into the sun. Also, we were there on a cool day, and we were all sweating. A fan or some cross ventilation would be great. Nice setup, there are locker rooms for changing, a warmup/workout area, a snack area and a retail area. Great use of the old airplane hangar!!!!

Really disappointing experience at Bay Padel's glow-in-the-dark event…read more The event was clearly overbooked to a ridiculous degree. We arrived just after the recommended regular arrival time expecting to actually play, only to be told that the earliest available time was roughly two hours later, while pickleball had a wait of around four hours. For a paid, ticketed event costing $80+, that's completely unacceptable. If you're selling tickets, there should be some reasonable relationship between the number of people admitted and the actual capacity of the courts and venue. We waited around for about half an hour but ultimately left without playing anything and without even getting a drink. The most frustrating part is that none of this was communicated beforehand. Had we known that buying a ticket effectively meant standing around for hours hoping to get a court, we never would have gone. It felt less like a properly organized event and more like they simply sold as many tickets as possible without much regard for whether attendees could actually participate. Extremely poor planning and a terrible customer experience.

Pulled up to The Hub Sports Club in Alameda and honestly... this place is solid…read more Came through with my guy Nate to check it out, get some runs in, and shoot a little content. Right away you can tell this place is well run. The energy is welcoming, the staff actually cares, and the community vibe is real -- competitive but still friendly. Pickleball-wise, it's stacked. 8 indoor courts that are clean, permanent, and play great, plus 7 outdoor courts if you want fresh air. Runs are organized, people know how to play, and they're always hosting tournaments and competitive events, which I really appreciate as someone who plays a lot. Outside of pickleball, the gym setup is legit. Full cardio and strength equipment, unlimited group classes like yoga, barre, and more. Locker rooms are clean, with showers, sauna, and steam room -- clutch after long sessions. Pro shop is fully stocked and the staff is always down to help with gear or questions without being pushy. Small thing but funny -- they even added a ping pong table, which kinda says everything about the vibe here. Functional, fun, and community-first. If you're in the Bay and serious about pickleball, fitness, or just want a spot that's run right with good people, The Hub Alameda is definitely worth checking out. I'll be back for sure.

When we go to any restaurant, we are not pay for upgrade of tables, chairs , forks or new spoons.

Our tennis club played a match at Marin Tennis Club (MTC) last evening. The club's courts and…read moreviewing areas are really nice as was their staff. The food was very good. We had the veggie spring rolls with a yummy dipping sauce and the drunken noodles with veggies. Both were excellent - there was nothing left on our plates when finished. Can't wait for our next match at this lovely club!

I joined MTC a month ago and I have to say this is an awesome club…read more The weather conditions are outstanding......no wind and alot of sun! The Courts are beautifully maintained and the pros and members are truly hospitable and courteous. I have played on courts in SF and in Southern Marin and hate the cold weather and wind. San Rafael has the ideal location for great tennis! MTC is the best Club to play in Marin and the SF Bay Area!

Came here with some friends for a networking event…read more Good: - The coaches were excellent at teaching a group of 8 - everyone got a fair amount of time to play - The facility is huge and there's a lot in the space, including weights - Nice refrigerator with drinks stocked Bad: - The place only has 2 courts so it was hard to get play time once we got to free play time - Pricey! Overall this was a solid place to go for my first padel lesson and I felt like I knew how to go after just an hour and a half! Very well run class.

Not as picturesque or well-known as some of the other courts in SF (Presidio Wall, Golden Gate,…read moreetc..) but this neighborhood pickleball facility gets the job done! LS has six "permanent" courts (not tennis shared), with nice tight nets and permanent painted lines with a good clean surface. The outer fences are all covered with green screening to lessen wind activity and a permanent short screen divider fence with protective top guard separates the six courts into two sets of three courts. Benches are located at the sides of the courts and also at the ends. Be careful of the end benches on deep strokes or lobs. There is semi-paved road parking adjacent to the courts and a small parking lot at the top of the road. Restroom facilities are a bit of a walk from the courts. Overall - excellent, public, no-fee permanent pickleball courts.

I went to the Noise Complaints event that was held here on Saturday and just wanted to shout out…read morethe older gentleman named Frank. I believe he was security for the parking area but he was extremely helpful and friendly even when a few of his colleagues were encouraging him not to be ( in front of us mind you) so shout out Frank he's got great customer service :)

I didn't realize that they moved to the Church Of 8 Wheels. Great business idea of the reuse of space but I felt like I was catfished. I booked reservations online they were $25 per person, in person it was $20... Its normally really windy and cold in SF and it felt nice being able to pickle indoors. Air circulation was not the best though. Improvement Opportunities for the Business: 1. Pickle Ball Lines & Roller Skating Lines were both white. The further courts had multiple white lines. It could be confusing at first. 2. Paddling Queue System was in the middle between courts. It was a distraction for me when I was playing because people were walking between courts to place down their paddles. 3. Dead spots on the ground... There were some dead spots on the ground because of all the rollerblading streaks. Also the ground was a bit slippery.

I've met so many great people, coaches, and really think my pickleball skills have improved by practicing here. It's a super fun way to meet people on top of getting an incredible workout! One of the owners, John, is very sweet and welcoming. He would watch when I play and give me pointers that have really helped improve my game! I've seen him do this for everyone and you can tell he's really passionate about helping others improve. Whether you're a pro at pickleball, or just learning, I highly recommend coming to DinkSF!

This is certainly one of the more posh, family-friendly tennis/swim clubs in Marin County…read more Located just off the beaten path from downtown Tiburon, TPC boasts a spectacular, natural setting. Even if you weren't coming here to exercise or play, it's a beautiful property to hike, bike, or walk your dog. As for the facility itself, they have some of the nicest tennis courts around. They are well maintained, there's always fresh water for players, and there's a nice shaded area for friends & spectators. I've enjoyed playing here numerous times over the year. Every year the club hosts the Tiburon Challenger which attracts some of the best players from around the world. It's really cool to be able to enjoy such world-class tennis in your own backyard. As I mentioned before, the club is extremely family-friendly. You always see kids swimming in the pool and playing ping-pong and other games on the grass. My only gripe with TPC is their bar/restaurant. The service always seems to be disjointed, and the prices always seem high for the food/drinks that you get. But it's a small gripe. Everything else is pretty stellar here.

This place was recommended by a friend from our pickleball group, and I'm glad we checked it out!…read more The young gentleman who helped us was friendly, knowledgeable, and very patient in answering all of our questions. One of the best things they offer is their demo paddle rental program. You get 30 days to try different paddles and can check out up to three at a time. During that period, you can come back and swap them out as many times as you'd like to find the right fit for your game. The rental fee is applied back to your account as store credit once you return the paddles, which can be used toward a future purchase. Just keep in mind there is a $2 per day late fee if you return them after the rental period. They also sell demo paddles at discounted prices, so it's worth keeping an eye out if you're looking for a good deal and don't necessarily need a brand-new paddle. This is a great option for anyone getting into pickleball or looking to upgrade their equipment without making a blind purchase. I'll definitely be back!

This place is the best! Shout out to all the young guys that are usually working there - they're…read morealways happy to help answer all my tennis racket/string questions! I recently did the racket demo program. It is awesome, you get 30 days to try as many rackets as you'd like, 3 at a time, for $40. The $40 is like a down payment toward the racket you eventually end up choosing! Bryce helped me out the first time I came in - gave me all the basics in a very friendly and approachable way! I swapped rackets many times lol and it was always pretty quick and easy. Anytime I needed a recommendation, I felt like I could trust what they were telling me from their own tennis experience! I ended up getting a Head Gravity racket with pretty blue, Mach 10 strings to match lol - I couldn't be more pleased with my choice! The price match they offer can also be handy - even though they ended up having the cheapest prices in store when I went, it's good to keep in mind if you happen to see a cheaper price online, they'll honor it, according to their policy! Tennis can be expensive haha so just keep this policy in mind! They're a small shop but I feel good supporting local! Sometimes they might not have what you're looking for, but they're happy to get it from their other location/order it for you and they're always really good about calling you when your item or racket is ready! For example, they had to get my racket and some racket head protection tape from their other store, on different occasions. They called me each time when it was ready. For your fellow tennis lovers, keep this place in mind - they have gift cards! I actually got a gift card for my birthday lol that I used towards my new racket. I also bought tennis balls here as part of my tennis friend's birthday gift - recommended by Bryce - and they ended up being great balls! Dunlop Grand Prix! I will always appreciate the help, knowledge/recs, and friendly service from Courtside - come support them if you need anything for tennis!
