First time playing at The Hub, and it will definitely be our last. When we arrived, we let staff know it was our first visit and signed the required paperwork. However, nobody explained how the facility was laid out or how open play was supposed to work. We eventually found the courts for our skill level, but there was nobody there at 8:30am on a Saturday. Thankfully, a friendly couple on another court invited us to play a few games while we waited for more players to arrive. Once people started showing up, we put our paddles up in the queue to join the next game. Both courts were occupied, and when the first group of four finished, we stepped up expecting to rotate in. Instead, they looked annoyed that we wanted to play and acted like they were leaving. We said "no worries" to avoid any conflict, but after standing around with the court empty for five minutes, all four of them casually walked back on and played another game themselves. We let it go and waited for the second court to finish. When that game ended, the same thing happened again--they immediately started another game despite there being four paddles waiting in the queue. At that point, we left to find games elsewhere. When we came back, four paddles were literally leaned against the net to "reserve" the court. We asked if we could join and were told, "We don't really want to split up." I pointed out that this was supposed to be open play, and the response was basically, "Yeah, kind of." That sums up the problem with this place. There were no moderators, no enforcement of open-play rules, and apparently no expectation that players actually rotate in. A handful of regulars were able to hog the courts while everyone else waited around. If this is what The Hub calls open play, then open play doesn't actually exist here. Extremely disappointing experience, poorly managed, and not somewhere we'll ever return. read more

The Hub Pickleball - Regulars hogging the "open play" courts for their 4th game while paddles wait in the cue. - Pickleball Near Me - Spring Valley, California

My husband and I are pretty new to pickleball, and The Hub has been such a great place to start. A friend brought us for the first time and we were honestly a little nervous walking in, but we ended up having so much fun. The courts are always clean and well kept, which makes a big difference when you're still learning and just trying not to trip over your own feet. I also really like that you can reserve your time. No awkward hovering, no pressure, just show up and play. We noticed they offer coaching too, which we're really excited about. Definitely planning to sign up for some classes and level up our game. If you're new to the sport or just looking for solid courts with a great setup, this is a great spot. read more

Not exactly a die-hard pickleball fanatic but I do pop in once in a while to show some love on the courts with a good friend of mine. That friend, is pickleball's biggest and loyal fan. The HUB in (San Diego) had lots of available out door courts and seating areas. Available parking spaces too. The club was clean, organize, and music was even playing over the PA system. The weather was perfect. Not too hot and not too cold for mid January, on a Sunday afternoon. Friendly and helpful staff at the storefront. The store looked clean and organized. Happy hour price $10 per person after 2pm vs $20 before 2pm My first time at The Hub and it won't be my last read more

THE HUB @ PICKLEBALL Parking is available right out front, and it's completely free for all customers going to The Hub. My friends and I came to this Pickleball Hub because it was free for all SDSU students, so I was really excited to check it out. Walking in, you can immediately tell the place was recently renovated it looks super modern with white and blue tiles and marble-like finishes. It's honestly beautiful, and I loved the clean, fresh vibe. The staff was extremely friendly, and right at the entrance there were pickleball sets you could purchase, along with snacks, granola bars, and other small things. Checking in was super easy. When we headed outside, there were multiple courts and a good amount of people playing. We played from about 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM, even though the courts were available until 4:30 PM, and it was seriously such a fun time. You do have to bring your own racket unless you rent one, but luckily we brought ours, so it was no problem. The bathrooms were also really nice, which I appreciated. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and would definitely come back for free again. It's fun, super student-friendly, and full of SDSU students just having a good time. read more

Came here for the first time on a Saturday around 10am and got the $20 day pass per person. The courts were not full which was nice so we did not need to reserve a court (which is another $20). Also, if you do not have a paddle, you can rent one for $10 and they will keep your ID until your return the paddle. Next to the courts, there are canopies and benches to leave your stuff while you play. There's also an area where you can lounge/relax and watch everyone else play. There's also giant jenga, etc. it would be a good place to host something here. There's also a water filter area to refill your water bottle. Restrooms were very clean too. Large parking lot but it can fill up pretty quickly. read more

We recently hosted a birthday party at The Hub Pickleball and had such a great experience from start to finish. The venue was fun, organized, and perfect for a group event, but what really made the experience exceptional was working with Tammy, the event coordinator. She was incredibly responsive, accommodating, organized, and genuinely cared about making sure everything went smoothly. Planning a group event can be stressful, but Tammy made the entire process feel easy and seamless. She went above and beyond to make sure our party was a success and that all of our guests had an amazing time. She booked us the Center Court with a Skyloft so our party can gather and order from their cafe menu. She even put up a birthday sign for us! We also arrived a few mins late, but she extended the time for us so we were able to enjoy our full hour! We're so grateful for all of her help and would highly recommend both The Hub and Tammy for anyone planning a birthday or special event! read more

Visited The Hub for the first time and had such a great experience! Olivia at the front desk was super friendly and helped us navigate buying a day pass, which was a great value at $20 - play all day and come and go as you like. I went with my pickleball pro boyfriend. While he played singles with a friend, I headed to the challenge courts. I love how the courts are labeled by skill level - it made it easy to find the right fit. I played on the 3.0 courts and got a few fun games in with some really welcoming people. It was so fun and got me over my fear of going to Open Play situations (this was my first one!) Even though I've been playing for 5 years, I know I need to challenge myself with better players to keep improving, and The Hub is perfect for that. Bonus that it wasn't busy at all, even on a sunny San Diego day, so I could keep playing for hours without waiting. I didn't try the food this time, but I'm curious for next time. Even though it's a bit of a drive (40 minutes from North County), I'll definitely be back. Worth it! read more

Went on a Monday night at around 7 and couldn't believe how busy it was. Parking lot was pretty full but managed to snag spaces for our group. We aren't members so we each had to pay $20 each. To reserve a court, it's another $20 but luckily, the guy at the front desk told us if we are able to find an empty court, we could jump right in and would avoid paying the extra $. This place is awesome! The courts are nice and it's got a place to chill by a fireplace, play corn hole and grab a beer at the bar. This has got to be one of the nicer courts I've been to but that's where the $ comes in. There are several courts around San Diego that either cheaper or free but for some, it's worth the extra cost. They offer memberships, lessons, rentals, and pro shop. The Hub also holds events and open play on some nights. We'll definitely check those out and perhaps get a membership one of these days. read more

I came to The HUB for my first time. The HUB is a pickleball court located in the Casa de Oro-Mount Helix, CA. It was such a pleasure conversing with the cashier Celini, thanks for being so sweet and friendly. Also, allowing me to charge my cellphone at the front desk. Although, my shift from a staffing agency was cancelled, Celini was friendly towards me. She was resourceful since she suggested McKenzie Park for another pickleball court. read more

Hosted my 30th birthday at The Hub this past Saturday and had an incredible time! Clean facility, great courts and staff. They have a nice turf area in the middle for kids to play various games. We booked our event through Tammy who was very responsive and made the process very easy. Tammy meets you at the start of your event and does an incredible job coordinating the event! Will definitely book here again and recommend others! read more

The Hub Pickleball - Pickleball Near Me - Spring Valley, California

I've been a member here for 9 months and love it. I've been to pickleball facilities all over so cal, but The Hub has the best courts by far. Here's why: - 26 dedicated pickleball courts (no tennis court lines) - 10 courts available for open play all day everyday with skill levels ranging from beginner to advanced - short waits for open play during peak times... or the ability to quickly book a court with my friends when I need it - proshop has great, high quality equipment and staff is friendly and helpful - great events like ladders, tournaments, leagues, and clinics. Awesome pros to teach - they are doing their best to implement a member rating system to improve quality of games - great member base, friendly, competitive, and inclusive playing environment. While there's a lot of perks on being a member here, there are some improvements that would make the club even better: - bring back the restaurant. Or at least a snack bar that isn't just chips or cookies. We miss it - hold some rated DUPR events like round robins for the more competitive levels. Players that have ratings want to play against other rated players. - the day pass is a little expensive, but worth it if you play for a few hours. read more

Stopped by while visiting SD for the weekend, awesome facility! Everyone was friendly and the establishment was in great shape, hope to play there again one day. read more

What a place! Plenty of courts to play on. Doesn't matter if there's 2 of ya either. Very friendly atmosphere. Just like it says in their adds, from beginner to advanced players. There's courts for each. I can hardly wait to go back. But get there early! Before 6pm. Happy paddling! read more

If you like pickleball, and I'm a fanatic, this place is great. They have tons of courts all labeled by level, so you can easily got into a game with people of similar levels. We went as non members, paid $20 each and got on a court. Then my son, who's a 5.0 and me, whose a 4.0 on a good day were able to find good games. read more

I wanted to love this place. the courts and facilities are nice. being a legitimate 4.5 player, medaling many times at this level, I was hoping to get in some good play in during open play in designated 4.5 courts. the players on those courts were teetering on rude. it was not an inviting environment - the players were exclusive and just kept circulating amongst themselves. I would not recommend this facility to out of town guests. There are many other courts in the San Diego area that welcome higher level play outside of their small bubble. read more

Beautiful courts and well-maintained. However, I find the people there cliquish and sometimes rude. Many times I was in line for open play and was ignored. If you just want to have fun, The Hub is not for you. It's very competitive and people let you know when they don't want to play with you. I like playing where people are friendly. read more

I would recommend the Hub for primarily people that want to play pickle ball frequently and have the desire and motivation to compete. I took group and individual lessons with Rob. He is phenomenal! I learned a lot had fun and met some great people. But I did not find many like-minded people who just want to have fun and improve and play a couple times a week. After learning pickle ball here, it is not the place to continue for a more mellow and chill atmosphere.. perfect for the die head read more

A great and friendly place to play! Great people , fantastic facility I'd highly recommend it if your a beginner or pro read more
