He jokes that he has to go beyond Plano for Badminton and Booze, the two things he enjoys but does not mix. It's not good to drink and birdie either. Badminton not only requires mental clarity but physical dexterity as well when you play it seriously, and play it indoors. It's almost infectious as in being smitten ' by the bird', if you will or even if you don't will. Someone once said Bad..Minton is a bad and punishing sport and once you truly get to know and understand it, it's much worse! In fact, people don't take this sport lightly. It's not for the mentally and physically weak, not at all. Discover this wonderful game/sport at ABC.....you won't regret it! Tons of fun as well and family oriented.

Warning: Fraudulent Strings and Poor Quality!…read more I had my racket strung three times with what Vistara claimed was BG65 string, but 3 string broke within a week. Frustrated, I went to another stringing place, and immediately noticed that their BG65 string looked visibly different. I asked the staff about it, and they went above and beyond to verify the authenticity of their string and provided proof. Although they couldn't comment directly on Vistara's string, it was clear from comparison that the Vistara string was a fake and very poor quality. Attaching a photo of the real string for reference. Save yourself the hassle and avoid Vistara - they are using counterfeit strings!

Been here a couple of times because we have to practice for tournaments. Pros: New facility Have area to hang individual racquets to know who is knew in cue Pro Shop 18 courts mixed badminton and pickleball Indoors Day pass is cheaper than others Function rooms with microwave, fridge, toaster, tv, tables and chairs Cons: Small filthy restrooms Small parking space for a big facility Small waiting area for a big facility - If there is a tournament going on, and you have another tournament to attend, they have you wait at the front desk which does not have seating. I suggest they should just have everyone go inside to watch the other tournaments if not full so the front desk area does not get crowded. Bad lighting, too dark Flooring is hard, does not feel padded Pickleball is directly beside the badminton courts - the balls bounce to the badminton courts which makes it very dangerous for the badminton players

Great facility for kids badminton training with various levels of training, and a number of time…read moreslot options for each (weekday/weekend). Very knowledgeable and friendly coaching staff. I have not played at this facility myself. Two negatives: 1) I don't think they ever answer the phone, and even when communicating by email it can take a few days to get a response. So if you have a question, it's easiest to ask them when you're there. 2) Parents aren't supposed to go into the gym to watch their kid's practice (there are mixed messages about this: sometimes this is enforced, sometimes not enforced, and other times I have been told I can go in). I would prefer to be able to watch.

I came here on Tuesday evening with few friends. At the entrance, we had to register for our online…read moreaccount, sign the waiver, add payment method through the website, and it was digitally charged for the open play session. The price was decent, only ~$12 for multiple hours of playtime. At the entrance they also had some rackets, shoes, accessories for purchase. There were couches for resting as well. Upon entering the play area, I was pleasantly surprised how good the space was. All courts were new, with quality mats on the floor. Excellent lighting. Courts were well spaced out. Small benches were around each court for sitting and putting the stuff. All of the 9 courts were busy at that time, so there were over 30 players in the open play. We shared courts with others players while playing for almost 2 hours. Everyone used plastic birdies here. I was the only one using feather birdies. The staff member was friendly. He gave us bunch of info over the phone when we called. He assisted us with the sign up process as well. Overall I had an excellent time playing at this facility, got to play with some really good quality players as well.

Recently,they've temporarily closed Joe Farmer for some updates allowing me to use the new one. Yes,there are two different membership fees for each and the difference is significant. However, after experiencing the new expanse that is Stephen G Terrell Rec center, I am inclined to move my membership here soon. A few of the reasons: Huge open spacious vibe that has a psychologically positive impact. Much larger and more modern 3 lane running/walking tract that threads thru a large part of the facility. Extensive resistance weight areas including,2 free weight areas and one machine area...all state of the art. Treadmill,elliptical, rowing, and stepping machines, in copious amounts. Outside terrace exercise area with sleds,ropes,bags etc In addition a 2 story play area for children,meeting rooms, classrooms etc. This is a archetectually well designed and implemented modern community " rec center". Oh,did I mention the 7 basketball courts?...... Go!

All Flash, No Substance The only reason this place gets a…read moresingle star is because the building is actually nice. Don't let the new equipment and shiny infrastructure fool you--the experience inside is a total disaster. * Rude Staff: From the moment you walk in, you're treated like an inconvenience. The front desk staff are consistently dismissive and act as if answering a simple question is a personal insult. * Dishonest & Collusive Management The leadership here is fundamentally unprofessional across all levels. It's not just one "bad apple"--there is a deep-seated culture of collusion where managers consistently cover for each other's mistakes. Instead of taking accountability, they resort to gaslighting and rewriting facts to dodge responsibility. It is impossible to have a transparent conversation or resolve a genuine concern when the entire management team prioritizes fabricated excuses** over basic integrity. They would rather protect their own images than fix a problem for a customer. * Zero Customer Service: There is a fundamental lack of basic service here. If you have an issue, don't expect a resolution; expect an argument. It's a shame to see such a high-end facility wasted by a team that clearly doesn't want to be there. Save your money and your sanity--go somewhere where they actually value their members.

Meaning, they are pretty indifferent when greeting or answering questions about the facility. They don't really say hello until we do. I can tell they are just there to have a job, so it doesn't detour me, but geez. I can't imagine being the face of the facility, and having such a poor attitude. They are not mean or disrespectful, but it's like they just tolerate the paying guests that come in. Kind of like that new emotion on the Inside Out 2 movie. There is one guy that is friendly-I think he has reddish hair and glasses. There is another guy upstairs and the first time we went, he just stared my son down in the youth area for like the first 20 minutes we were there. My son is within the age range, but I guess the staff member wanted to make sure he didn't do anything wrong. I interacted with him a bit, and it seemed to break down a little bit of his mean-mugging vibe. He might try saying hello to people, because most people won't want to break any rules if it means disappointing a friendly guy that is in charge. The facility is cool. I suggest they get built in locks on the available lockers like they have at Carpenter Rec. I also recommend that management have a team building exercise or rotate the front people with other staff to give them a break. If you can get past the blah energy upon arriving, it's a really great facility.
