Introduced to the Pinehurst community in 2012, Pickleball was invented in the early 1960’s and is currently the fastest growing sport in the U.S., with over 100,000 players nationwide.  It’s an activity that combines the liveliness of tennis with the quick reflexes required for Table Tennis on a badminton-size court. The Pinehurst Pickleball courts are located in the Pinehurst No.6. complex next to the main clubhouse.

Never played before?  No problem!  We’ll be happy to arrange a lesson for you. We provide the equipment for you to borrow at no extra charge.

To schedule instruction or check court availability contact our Pickleball Head Pro, Aimee Bonnell, at [email protected].
