Pickleball is blowing up. A new 12-court indoor pickleball club is now open in Sarasota. The city is already replete with a stunning museum, great beaches, and top tier food, so this is just one more reason to drive over the Skyway Bridge. The ownership team’s vision at The Pickleball Club is to become the Premier Indoor Pickleball Facility in Sarasota. They also have plans to open a facility in nearby Pinellas Park.
They hope to accomplish that with a “club atmosphere, 12 indoor pickleball courts with an outdoor playing surface in a climate controlled environment also featuring a cafe and pro shop.” The Pickleball Club will also feature 2 outdoor courts, 2 bocce courts and 2 corn hole courts. Don’t sweat it, y’all, these outdoor facilities are covered.

Don’t worry, Tampa isn’t far from getting a pickleball club of its own. The Tampa Pickleball Crew is bringing the surging sport to Tampa.
