    I attended a networking event at the Fort. Catering was brought to a separate area where enjoyed drinks and catered food after we finished our pickleball games. This is a fantastic facility. Beautifully designed with covered and uncovered pickleball courts. It's located by the airport and Snyder Park. A full service bar and food is available for purchase. The shop has a great selection of everything pickleball. Free parking is available. Highly recommend this gem. A fantastic venue for private events.

    Customer service was on point. This was my first time playing pickle ball and they were very accommodating. Once we played for about an hour they had a full bar with some food options. We had us a refreshing cocktail and re-upped on some water to stay hydrated. The courts, store, and bar area were clean and inviting. We've already reserved to be back next Saturday. Shout out to Ashley and Jeremy for making our experience extra special.

    This is a really cool place especially if you love pickle ball. I came here for a work outing. I was surprised at what a cool places was. As we walked in, they have the store for anything that you need. As we walked outside, there was a bar that had draft beer as well as mixed drinks. Our group had reserved a couple of courts and their receipts right by the court so we were able to watch while our friends played. This location is huge and has a greatest aesthetic. I could definitely see this as a great place for birthday party outings or just if you wanna have a good afternoon.

    My best friend and her boyfriend are big pickelballers and recently for her boyfriend's birthday, they got some people together for a big hang out. The place is huge with ample parking. The staff is very nice and helpful and told us what we needed to get, where to go, etc. There are a bunch of courts, with some even under a cover. There's a big bar too so you can grab drinks in between games. Everyone had a great time and I know my friend has already been back.

    This place is A hidden Gem and i truly mean Hidden! If you aren't looking for this Venue you might not even know it was here. I had recently tried the restaurant on premises and told my Hubby we needed to come back for some Pickle ball. this is supposedly one of the largest pickle ball complexes and they have many events here. the membership it's 139.00 and if you have a guest want to come 15.00. they have little sitting areas to chill and watch they have volleyball near the lake this place is great and we will be back

    Feels like your in the beach

    A great spot to workout and be part of a new community and come together for fun and games. The place is wide and open to enjoy. It has covers fields and open access. Everyone is super friendly. The restaurant is beautiful. The best area is the beach like shore with seats to relax and enjoy the Florida sun.

    This is one of the first larger Pickleball Courts I've been to. It was as if TopGolf met Pickleball. To start, I would like to mention how this facility was built more "in the middle of nowhere" in Fort Lauderdale by the airport, which I appreciate. They chose a wonderful plot of land, rather than bulldozing a park or cutting down more trees to put this up. I've lived in Fort Lauderdale all my life, and this plot of land was nothing before they turned it into "The Fort." Second, the service was great. All of the employees were super helpful, fun, and nice. The area is well-maintained and cleaned regularly. There is a bar area offering alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, as well as indoor and outdoor courts for play. As a Florida citizen, I know the weather is very unpredictable. I had a great time playing pickleball here, and it's good to know there is a solid space for everyone to play, because I attended an event; I do not know the pricing, but I was overhearing that a lot of people pay a membership fee to play. I'm not too sure how much it would cost to just come one time, or how long you can play.

    For about three years I was a pickleball fanatic and injured a tendon in my arm from excessive play so now it's just fun to watch others play without the pain. The Fort has 43 pickleball courts with a $139 yearly membership, Serves and Thirds Cafe, sand volleyball courts and a Florida Room bar & grill overlooking a beautiful lake. Dinner then coffee and watched some pickle bar made it a fun night.

    Great place to practice pickleball. Lots pf courts and they even have a small "stadium" where I'm sure tournaments may be played. Very cool

    I'm genuinely blown away by The Fort--this place absolutely rocks! The scale alone is impressive, with around 50 pickleball courts, some fully covered and others paired with cabanas that make it easy to relax and hang out between games. Right when you walk in, there's a full bar, perfect for grabbing a drink after a match and adding to the social, country-club vibe. Can't forget the grill that serves up casual food like burgers to get some energy in. The whole facility feels thoughtfully designed, featuring an amphitheater, a beach area with beach tennis, and even an arena-style pickleball court with tiered seating where you can watch high-level matches. There's also a private room above the restaurant available to rent, which is a great touch for events or groups. I've also heard their weekend wellness events bring in fitness instructors and unique vendors, adding yet another layer to the experience. The four of us booked a cabana court, and it couldn't have been more enjoyable. Music plays throughout the space, creating a fun, energetic atmosphere--we were literally dancing between points while watching the sunset. After a couple of hours of play, we headed to the Florida Room (their on site restaurant) to eat. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and packed with flavor, and the cinnamon roll was next-level!! I'm already planning my next visit--this might just be Fort Lauderdale's best hidden gem.

    Loved this place. Lots of parking and bathroom options available (not unisex). I just took the intro class with coach Gary and Jason. And they were amazing! They were super helpful and the class was small and I actually feel like I understand the game! They were so patient and kind. And it really made the game seem fun! As someone who is not great at contact sports (was a rower through college) I get super nervous about being bad at group sports like that so I was pretty anxious going in and I actually felt pretty comfortable with this x They have lots of activities like more classes and leagues; ladies nights; competition/tournaments etc. and we walked around and it's a huge facility but I would recommend to get a court not in the like sheltered area because it's soool hot there. The ones out in the open get a better breeze. The newbie courts are court 27 and 28. To the right of the bar. Oh and they have a bar and working on a restaurant. Best of luck and the beginner classes are free!

    Awesome new pickleball club in Ft. Lauderdale. It is located right next to Snyder park. Club has just opened this month and is hosting the first Pickleball Ft. Lauderdale Open this week. This facility has 45 courts (14 of them are under cover). There are several membership options including an annual membership for $139 per month which gives you access to unlimited open play and allows you to reserve courts up to 14 days in advance. Check out the attached photos for more details about the memberships. And there is also a good size pro shop at the entrance of the club with all kinds of gear for pickleball players. Overall, it is a pretty attractive club for this fast growing sport.

There was plenty of seating to enjoy our meal. Parking was tricky, not a lot of parking so you may have to wait for cars to leave to park but be patient.

    The Yards at Amelia is a great spot to play pickleball indoors…read more This is a great spot to hangout and learn or play pickleball if you have a group of friends that want to split the cost. It is on the pricier side but is a great solution to all the rain and heat we've been getting lately, making it rough to play pickleball outside. Came here with a large group of friends and it was the best Friday night activity. They have 3 courts on one side and 5 on the other side. They had food trucks on the side with the main entrance and also clean bathrooms. I heard that the 5 courts were a new addition and so happy to see they have more to accomodate how popular the place seemed to be. They are also some of the nicer indoor courts I've seen, where you can use the outdoor balls with the type of material the courts are. My only gripe with the place is the parking. There is a good amount but with how they've expanded the amount of courts and how popular the place will probably get, it was already hard to find parking this past visit. Overall, a great place for pickleball!
