I saw that Holland America will install pickleball courts on ALL their ships by like April or May 2023. In association with (iirc) American P.B. Association.

I believe Newport Coast also has pickleball courts on property. I keep meaning to try this, but have not managed to do that yet.

The Marriott’s Manor Club @ Ford Colony have two (2) pickleball courts.
We have try it, my spouse doesn’t liked it; but I do. I feel it is not as hard on my knees as playing tennis. IMO.

There is a pickleball court at Christmas mountain village in Wisconsin. A resident has taught about 15 residents to play and always welcomed anyone staying at the resort

They are converting tennis courts to pickleball courts near me. Guess I'll have to learn how to play pickleball

Can guests at Westin Mission Hills use those? I suspect the answer is no, or for a fee?

Fairfield Glade in TN had regular pickleball at the gym. Saw several people playing but haven't tried it yet. Looks fun
They had a tournament when we were there. I think it was $50 to join. regular pickup play @$20 an hour per person and you have to sign up online in advance. Someone mentioned there is one free court that is in poor condition behind one of the buildings.

Palm Springs Tennis Club has beautiful pickleball courts w/ beautiful views of San Jacinto mountains - not sure that they are "dedicated" - but they have always been available when we wanted to play.

Hello Ambere! I’m new to this website and have never had a timeshare but am thinking about purchasing a one (or 2!) at the Palm Springs Tennis Club. I’m sorry but I didn’t know if there was a way on this forum to contact you directly with my questions. You seem very knowledgeable! I just did a casual tour of the resort by myself last week and thought it looked fabulous. Could you answer a few questions for me? All the timeshares for sale seem to be floating weeks. Is it hard to get the weeks you want? Hard to get 2 weeks in a row? I’m only interested in the Wimbledon units. What happens if all the weeks are booked in the allotted time? Thx for your time and consideration. Fae (tennis/pickleball player from Nebraska )

Welcome to Tug. I know you're new, but your questions don't belong in this thread. There is plenty of information available here for a variety of topics, including the timeshare you're interested in. I'd recommend you explore the Forums on the front page more closely, and start or post your questions in a thread dealing with owning at that resort. This thread is about Pickleball courts.

Good luck,
Dave
