This blog post took me time to write, I turned off all ad-revenue so you don’t have to see any ads. You don’t need to thank me, just BE MY REFERRAL.

How much you can TOTAL expect to pay
Soooo… what does that ACTUALLY mean in terms of how much you would pay?
Yah that’s the question right?
I track my HOURS on the court vs. how much I spend. In full transparency, I travel MOST of the year and what I’m currently paying per hour is a FRACTION what I pay to play in all the places I travel (click here to see that list).
Total amount I expect to pay annual for pickleball for ONE PERSON:
- $500 annual fee
- $1,500 for 12 months of monthly dues
- $2,000 total or $166 a month
Wait, $166 a month?! That’s a LOT! (or is it?!?!)….
Trust me, it’s not cheap. But the thing I wondered is… “but is it worth it“… read on for a breakdown.
Here’s a breakdown to give you an example
Let’s break it down (I prefer to do in this on the dancefloor, but yes, I have a spreadsheet that tracks my pickleball play).
July 2024 looks like this…
- I played 13 days in July
i.e. 2-3 times per WEEK, that’s NOT a lot if you like to play, don’t forget I travel most of the month for this reason - I played on average 2.5. hours each time
**see note below
This equates to
– 13 days played
– 32.5 hours
– and at $166/month this equals
– $12.76 per day
– or $5 per hour
Did you read that? I just said $5 an hour.
I PAID $5 AN HOUR TO PLAY IN AIR CONDITIONED INDIVIDUALLY FENCED COURTS. And I played with their balls.
- (No seriously, they provide the balls and they are Franklin X40s)
**NOTE
Playing 2.5 hours at The Pickleball Club IS NOT EQUIVALENT TO 2.5 HOURS AT WHISPERING PINES.
You play consecutive games at the level you want to play at. At the parks you WAIT for courts (while beginners just SIT on a court, literally with their chairs not even playing) and you get matched up with *ANYONE*.
Also 2.5 hours at The Pickleball Club is equivalent to 23.8 minutes of playing in 87 degree heat in Florida according to scientists, experts and astronauts. Just sayin.
Interested in learning more?
I get it, you likely want to ask me 50 questions about “what if I’m a couple or a family or or or…” CALL THEM. Basia is great. She’ll walk you through everything you need to know.
Don’t forget you read this and to REFER ME and get $100 if you sign up.
Their phone number is (772) 212-4662 – again, ask for Basia (prounced BOSH-SHA).
Want to read even more? Cool. more below. And enjoy this totally dumb thing I did on the court with some of my Big Dill faves…
What is The Pickleball Club
A 33,000 square foot indoor club with 12 indoor pickleball courts (and 2 additional outdoor courts). They’re making it “exclusive” – which means it’s VERY hard to play here (or it’s very expensive to play here) if you’re not a member.
They’ll have a club house with food and drinks and blah blah blah. Basically: it’s a VERY nice experience and tbh, after playing at A LOT of pickleball clubs, this is one of the best I’ve seen in terms of facilities.
It’s located off St Lucie West:
When did it open?
It’s open. It soft opened early summer. But REALLY opened in late August. See the livestream below of an early view…
Signing up for The Pickleball Club means I respect my time. I am paying to get the type of play I want WHEN I want it.
-Makes sense doesn’t it?
If you’ve NEVER played at a PROPER pickleball club, it’s VERY hard to understand the difference between a club and the free parks.
Imagine playing at the level you want to be playing at, when you want, and with zero to minimal waiting (and no rain, heat, sun, bugs, and wind).
It’s why when I’m traveling in DC, I drive out to Dill Dinkers for the BEST pickleball games instead of standing around at the parks. You get EXACTLY what you want.
You’re probably thinking “BUT NO ONE PLAYS THERE RIGHT NOW”, it’s NOT like this.
You’re right, but it’s getting there. And when it is, the FOMO will be real. I’m a believer in what it will become and what it will offer.
Here’s a video of what you can expect….
Why did I bother writing all of this?
No, The Pickleball Club IS NOT paying me to write this. I specifically DID NOT want to come on as a content creator or influencer for them.
It’s for two reasons:
- I want you to play pickleball with me. I still plan to go to Whispering Pines (I mean come on, I know TONS of you that play twice a day), but I plan to spend most of my time at The Pickleball Club
- I want you to USE THE REFERRAL PROGRAM
You get $100 off and I get $100 if you mention my name.
So boom. Sign up. Let’s pickle together!
If you have a question you want to ask me about pricing, I encourage you to reach out to The Pickleball Club by calling Basia at (772) 212-4662
If you message me on social media, I average about 200 messages and comments per platform per day (and I am on every single platform)… so…. it’s better if you ask me at Whispering Pines in person 👀
🤘🏽See ya on the courts!
