Naples pickleball Center 3500 Thomasson Drive, Naples, FL 34112

"Payed for a tournament here and it was the most unorganized situation I have ever seen. 7 hours late for matches to start. We had to try to find the players in our pools to play games on our own! I had 2 out of the 4 games half games because 2 people had to catch their flights. I Only had a ref for one game which he screwed up the score. Not one match had the right scores written down. I did not expect this mess and had over $1000 in to the trip. Very, very expensive lesson!"

"This is the palace of pickle. The dream of Dupers. The king of courts. If you’re in Naples and you want to play pickle this is where you go. There are young pickle ballers, ambitious dressed to the nine millennials ready to smash balls and aggressively charge the net gloriously stopping right before their toe hits the kitchen. Then graciously dinking and dunking, patiently waiting for you to make a mistake so they can annihilate the 40 holed neon plastic ball in a way that is un-returnable. There are old ballers. OGs with artificial hips and knees who look like they might collapse every time they move towards the net but somehow they have placement better than the sorting hat from Harry Potter. There are trainers who people pay handsomely to teach them how to play pickle ball. There are rules. Especially if you’re a 4.0 or higher to respect the integrity of the games played on the courts. My wife went to these courts to play and she hasn’t returned in three days. Suffice it to say if you love pickle you’ll love this place."

"Excellent pickleball complex. People are nice. Very crowded in the morning but we'll organized with a sign in waiting board. Lots of courts, I didn't count but possibly 80. Each section is for different skill levels. Would highly recommend."

"Busy, vibrant, exciting place to play pickleball. Courts are divided by skill level (Beginner to Advanced). Great variety of players with different abilities. Inexpensive to join. Can be very busy in the Winter season."

"If you love pickleball this is Mecca. Games all day, all divided by skill level. There’s no way to spend time here and not get better. The lessons are great also. If Christy Eibel is available, she’s so helpful. Pro shop has paddle demos also. It’s a wonderful atmosphere for the pickleball lover."
