"Where the dinks are pristine and the screams are Olympic-level"…read more Pickleball Backyard is the Disneyland of dink rallies -- seven beautiful courts so well maintained, you'll think you're playing in a tennis pro's dream journal. The staff? Superstars. Engaging, helpful, and somehow always managing to look cool while chasing rogue balls. The common areas are cleaner than my conscience after returning a serve just out and not calling it. Bathrooms? Spotless. Like, "I'd eat a post-match hot dog off the floor" clean. (I didn't, but I considered it.) However -- and I say this with affection -- when the competitive folks show up? Oh boy. It's less backyard and more Pickleball Thunderdome. Every point is a life-or-death struggle, punctuated by screams of "YEAHHHH!" like someone just won Wimbledon... and custody of the dog. But hey -- if you can dodge a ball and an ego, you'll have a great time. Bring earplugs, bring a good attitude, and bring your A-game. This place is a smash hit (literally).

There was a torrential downpour that day and the outdoor courts we were supposed to play on didn't work out for our women's doubles bracket. Thanks to some quick thinking by Nanna B and the tournament organizers, they found Pickleball Backyard and we were still able to play! My daughter and I made it, albeit a bit late, but it all worked out... We found the courts to be great, the employees super nice, and the overall facility more than adequate. We utilized the restroom, took some photos on the podium, and refilled our water bottles. They have some snacks / vending machines and I hear they are open 24/7, which is pretty cool! It is a bit far from home, otherwise I'd say we'd be back soon and often. Thanks again PB!

Pickleball has quickly become a favorite activity for the family, myself included, and we've been…read morechecking out as many pickleball venues (indoor and out) whenever possible. We went to Picklemall yesterday (on a Thursday evening) and it was packed! I am sure the rainy weather had something to do with it, but I guess we are not the only ones obsessed with playing... In fact, the "open play" that we thought we'd be able to jump into was all booked up for the evening. Luckily, one friend had a court reserved, and another one randomly appeared with another court reserved as well... So, we all got to play and get a little exercise! While there, I was introduced to some of the Picklemall staff including Chance, Hector, and Zach. I created accounts for the entire family and learned about all kinds of programming that Picklemall offers. I was quite impressed to learn that members and non-members are both welcome to participate in on-site events and programming including tournaments, clinics, social events and more. It sounds like there are options for players of all skill levels too. I've since learned that if you use the Picklemall app, you can easily get access to your gameplay footage, which sounds super cool... We are already planning on returning soon. See you there!

Ben Seeger is an amazing instructor! He is prompt and introduces himself. He explains and…read moredemonstrates as he's teaching, and he always asks if there are any questions. He uses terminology congruent to the game, then explains what the term mean. He's patient, and praises attempts, all the while reinforcing the fundamentals and always keeping the basics in focus. He repeats key concepts and explains how they build on the play of the game. He's concerned about safety making sure proper footwear is worn, sunscreen is applied, water beaks are taken and repeating if a ball is missed or on the ground, let it go so not to roll an ankle.

I signed up my son in advance and we headed out for our first visit and were so impressed with not only the venue itself, but how organized and friendly the staff were. On the day we were there, the water happened to be out, but due to everything else being 5 star worthy, I am not docking a star for that ;). (They did supply bottled water and directions for nearby restrooms)... Hopefully that issue is resolved by now! The club itself is state of the art with great fenced in courts, spectator sitting areas, a members' lounge, a pro shop, beautiful locker rooms, and plenty of food and beverage options. It's also located in a shopping center with plenty of parking and other food / retail nearby. While this location is a bit of a drive for us, I have a feeling we'll be making the trek again in the future... and really look forward to their Scottsdale location opening in September as that one will be a bit closer to us!

Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon to get a putter re-gripped. Browsed the store and the gentleman…read moreworking finished regripping within 5 minutes (~$20). Inquired about getting club heads reglued because they seemed dangerously close to flying off, but the gentleman said they were fine unless for aesthetic purposes. They have a very fast turnaround time for head replacements, re-gripping, re-shafting, and I'm sure everything else. A friend wanted to get his driver re-shafted, and they said it could be done by the next day! This is contingent on Jeff (owner) working, but they seem quite flexible. Lots of golf equipment (clubs, putters), accessories (towels, practice balls, ball retriever). Golf sim and putting green to try out clubs. As for pickleball item, there is a mini pickleball court to try out paddles and balls (Franklins, Vulcan VPROs, etc.), notably a $40 demo basket with some good selections. Good sales on random attire (skirts, polos, shirts), as well as shoes, bags, and more. Great local and honest business for all your golfing and pickleball needs with extremely friendly and helpful staff!

They were more than happy to help me find what I'm looking for and you can tell that they take pride in their business. They have a whole wall of paddles to choose from and they have an excellent demo program where you can check-out any two of their demo paddles to try for one week at a time. If you don't like them you can swap them out for different ones. The demo program is completely free and no obligation to purchase from them afterward, although I personally love to support local businesses. It's a great way to try to before you buy. Lovely establishment. Will be telling my friends.

We'd mostly just hit around until recently when we started playing a bit more competitively and more often... and that's when I realized how much I love the game and that I want to learn, improve, and play more often! Practice could only get me so far as I had never really taken a lesson... I'd been following Seidwinder Pickleball for awhile and know Andrew from his involvement in the local community. He's an excellent baseball / softball coach, and super patient with the kids. I signed up for his "Pickleball 102 - Advanced Beginners/Low-Intermediate - RISING STAR CLASS," that took place at the Phoenician on a recent Thursday morning. It was a fabulous experience! I appreciate the Seidwinder class philosophy that they teach their clinics just like they do to the resort guests... with a mindset of making the most of your time together and squeezing in plenty of tips and tricks to advance your pickleball game. They limit the guests to 8 maximum per clinic and in the one that I took, there were 5 of us total. Andrew had a great balance with getting us moving and doing all kinds of drills to teaching and demonstrating. He is super positive and personable and a pleasure to learn from... as promised, we had some doubles play time at the end of the two hour clinic focused on positioning, strategy and shot selection. If you're in the market to learn the basics of pickleball or to take your game to the next level, I highly recommend Seidwinder Pickleball. Thanks again, Andrew!

I've also attempted to utilize it on multiple occasions with no luck, but hoping that will change in the future. Based on my experience there, the courts are beautiful and there are some light concessions available. Plenty of parking as well. It looks like there are now clinics and open play offered throughout the week, so that may be something to look into in the future. In the past, the process to check availability was to call or text the GM directly, and the times that I was looking for just never worked out. With pickleball now a huge part of life for my family, I'm sure I'll be back soon!
