I love all these pickleball clubs popping up all over town. I will especially love them when winter…read morerears its ugly head! My 9 year old has become obsessed with pickleball and wants to play all the time. He has a few weeks between his day camp and school (parents worst nightmare) so I signed him and a friend up for a half day pickleball camp here at Slate. While I was unfamiliar with this new pickleball club, his friends mom had said good things about it. He absolutely loved it. We had the opportunity to sign up for the camp daily and he did 4 days.There were some different kids each day, but he said there were about 8 kids each day. I picked up one of the days and they all looked like they were having fun in this beautiful facility. He liked it so much that I ended up signing up for one of their junior classes this fall, which he is super excited about. My husband is also going to look into what they have for him since it will soon be too cold (sigh) to play pickleball outside of our club. Their staff also seems really great. I've emailed on a few occasions for info about the camp, asking what level class my son should be in the fall, etc. Lindsay, the Program Manager, responds very fast and is super helpful. And I met a few of the staff members when I picked up my son and they were all very nice and enthusiastic. I started enjoying pickleball a bit more this summer so look forward to playing a little pickle myself here as well.

Ace…read morePickleball has the friendliest staff and they go above and beyond with each person that walks through the door. They are extremely welcoming. Felix, Michael, Jim and all of the staff are very personable. They even jump in to play if needed which is awesome. Ace has 12.5 courts (.5 being the warm up court). Next to the warm up court there is an area to stretch with a few machines available. There is also a break room with a microwave if you need to do some work or eat. The courts are divided into beginner, intermediate and advanced courts- although sometimes there can be players who are just using the court if it is open and may not reflect the level correctly. The courts and nets are sturdy and provide stability. Courts 1&2 and the 3 middle courts also have video recording if you download playsight. It is really easy to use. Ace also offers a titan ball machine to use along with hoppers to pick up the balls. They also offer demo paddles if you are interested. Ace pickleball is ALL inclusive which means you only need to pay for the membership and everything is included or purchase a daily drop in fee. So what are you waiting for? Join now!! :)

At the moment, there is a $30 membership trial, so I definitely suggest it. There's 14 courts, all open play. Which means, if it's busy, all courts are open for anyone to put their paddle on the rack and cycle in. It's a great way to meet people but also play against different playstyles. There are 3 court levels: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. So of course, play at the level you feel comfortable at. The staff is really awesome to work with and they've been very helpful with everything. The club is also hosting more events so that's fun too! For private courts - they will have some available, on the app, only for non-peak hours. Peak hours = all open play. Also, if it's not busy, you can ask the front desk to borrow their Titan Pro Ball Machine, that thing is amazing for drills and practice. Highly recommend the place!

You can also book a private room, as great place for an event. We didn't get any food, but definitely want to try next time, looks delicious. Now for the golf. The simulator is more high tech than I've seen. It automatically detects your terrain and changes the ground to fit it (fairway, rough, and bunker). I've never seen something like this before and it definitely enhances the experience. Another cool thing is during practice it shows you how you swung, by not only showing a model of your swing but a video recording playback. 10/10 recommend

This is the perfect place to have fun and enjoy indoor golf with no pressure. Sure there are pros in there practicing but the environment is so welcoming, we didn't feel intimidated. The employees are super kind and helpful. There are food and drink options to enjoy as you play. You get to rent by the hour and if you don't have your own clubs, you get to rent them as well. There are options to play games or simulate a real golf course. They also play music throughout which adds to the fun vibe. I really enjoyed the afternoon here and highly recommend coming by with a group of friends or family for some chill golf.

This is a great looking pickleball facility with nice courts, a bar and plenty of parking. There's a private area, a golf simulator, and lots of seating. - clearly marked courts so it's easy to dink - nice setup with plenty to drink (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) - trendy lounge areas, decor, seating and classy looking (not like a gym, notes touches of pink) - paddles and balls are provided, no need to blink - you'll have a great time (even me, the ultimate beginner, got to get back to lessons) ;) Our event was a success, with lots of pickling and fun had by seasoned players and beginners alike. The staff was great and helped everything run smoothly. I'm not a good enough player (yet) to purchase a membership but this would definitely be fun to rent a few courts for some time with friends.

My friend hosted a bunch of us at this brand new gorgeous pickleball (and everything else) club in honor of her 50th. The people who work here could not have been nicer. I'm pretty sure we overstayed our welcome, but they patiently waited for us to end our celebration - and with a smile! The main attraction is pickle and they have gorgeous pickleball courts for just that. The technology is also pretty amazing with digital scoreboards and even a replay feature. This will come in handy when i play with my children who seem to cheat at all racquet ball sports. They also have golf simulators, karaoke (coming soon), pickleball classes (for youth too) and an adorable shop with pickleball attire. As for food they serve one of my favorite local businesses, hometown. And they have a self serve pour wall for those thirsty for a glass of wine. The only thing i kept thinking was missing was nighttime bar food, but I see on their website that food trucks will be making the rounds nights/weekends so they have that covered too. I foresee myself coming here for pickleball classes, GNO, hosting kid playdates and fun nights out with other couples. While my country club has great pickleball options during the warmer months, this is a great addition for the majority of the year when the weather is less than ideal in Chicago!

We had to pay for the courts instead of the free (or included in our membership) at our club, but worth is to not overheat! This was also a great experience to check out the domb also known as Club Pickle & Padel. It's super cool inside with plenty of courts for pickle enthusiasts. They also have a bunch of padel courts, which I haven't attempted yet since I've reached my racquet sports limit between tennis, pickle and paddle...but maybe one day. My one complaint is that it's so loud inside the domb and the acoustics aren't great so I could hardly hear anyone calling out the score, but it was a lovely place to play a match. I'd definitely come back on a rainy, hot or cold (hello winter) day to get my pickle game on!

At least when I played there was nobody enforcing pace of play, so we were well on track for a five + hour round of golf while the group in front of us was busy plumb bobbing its putts for quadruple bogey ... with an entire hole open in front of them. Could be a lovely round with a little bit of gentle guidance from rangers to keep pace, and some regular reminders to adhere to some of the basic courtesies like raking bunkers, replacing divots, and repairing ball marks (none of which seemed to be being done on a particularly regular basis...).

I am sharing some concerns from our 2025 season outing. Unfortunately, play was significantly…read moreimpacted due to active maintenance on the greens--specifically punching and sanding--during our round. On top of that, the course was cart path only, even though conditions didn't appear wet enough to justify that restriction. A 90-degree rule could have been a more reasonable option. As a result, several players were unable to finish due to the physical strain of walking, especially for those with health issues. Most notably, a man who works as a starter and is still recovering from an illness had to quit mid-round and was understandably frustrated. Do you have any suggestions on how we can better coordinate with Glenview Park staff moving forward? It doesn't feel like our concerns are being acknowledged, and it's affecting participation and enjoyment. Thanks for your time,
