We'd mostly just hit around until recently when we started playing a bit more competitively and more often... and that's when I realized how much I love the game and that I want to learn, improve, and play more often! Practice could only get me so far as I had never really taken a lesson... I'd been following Seidwinder Pickleball for awhile and know Andrew from his involvement in the local community. He's an excellent baseball / softball coach, and super patient with the kids. I signed up for his "Pickleball 102 - Advanced Beginners/Low-Intermediate - RISING STAR CLASS," that took place at the Phoenician on a recent Thursday morning. It was a fabulous experience! I appreciate the Seidwinder class philosophy that they teach their clinics just like they do to the resort guests... with a mindset of making the most of your time together and squeezing in plenty of tips and tricks to advance your pickleball game. They limit the guests to 8 maximum per clinic and in the one that I took, there were 5 of us total. Andrew had a great balance with getting us moving and doing all kinds of drills to teaching and demonstrating. He is super positive and personable and a pleasure to learn from... as promised, we had some doubles play time at the end of the two hour clinic focused on positioning, strategy and shot selection. If you're in the market to learn the basics of pickleball or to take your game to the next level, I highly recommend Seidwinder Pickleball. Thanks again, Andrew!

"Where the dinks are pristine and the screams are Olympic-level"…read more Pickleball Backyard is the Disneyland of dink rallies -- seven beautiful courts so well maintained, you'll think you're playing in a tennis pro's dream journal. The staff? Superstars. Engaging, helpful, and somehow always managing to look cool while chasing rogue balls. The common areas are cleaner than my conscience after returning a serve just out and not calling it. Bathrooms? Spotless. Like, "I'd eat a post-match hot dog off the floor" clean. (I didn't, but I considered it.) However -- and I say this with affection -- when the competitive folks show up? Oh boy. It's less backyard and more Pickleball Thunderdome. Every point is a life-or-death struggle, punctuated by screams of "YEAHHHH!" like someone just won Wimbledon... and custody of the dog. But hey -- if you can dodge a ball and an ego, you'll have a great time. Bring earplugs, bring a good attitude, and bring your A-game. This place is a smash hit (literally).

There was a torrential downpour that day and the outdoor courts we were supposed to play on didn't work out for our women's doubles bracket. Thanks to some quick thinking by Nanna B and the tournament organizers, they found Pickleball Backyard and we were still able to play! My daughter and I made it, albeit a bit late, but it all worked out... We found the courts to be great, the employees super nice, and the overall facility more than adequate. We utilized the restroom, took some photos on the podium, and refilled our water bottles. They have some snacks / vending machines and I hear they are open 24/7, which is pretty cool! It is a bit far from home, otherwise I'd say we'd be back soon and often. Thanks again PB!

They also gabe someone to let you know when your time is almost up. I'd definitely comeback for a good time!

You don't have to be a world-class athlete to have a good time, and that's part of what makes it so addictive. My first visit was with my wife and some cousins and aunts visiting from Iowa. We spent the afternoon playing a few spirited games of pickleball--which I absolutely dominated, for the record--while enjoying some snacks and drinks before heading inside for dinner. The food was surprisingly good. I'd describe it as elevated bar food that actually delivers on the flavor. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was energetic without feeling overwhelming, and the entire place just had a welcoming vibe. We'll definitely be back... and back... and back. Anyone need a doubles partner?

We went to Picklemall yesterday (on a Thursday evening) and it was packed! I am sure the rainy weather had something to do with it, but I guess we are not the only ones obsessed with playing... In fact, the "open play" that we thought we'd be able to jump into was all booked up for the evening. Luckily, one friend had a court reserved, and another one randomly appeared with another court reserved as well... So, we all got to play and get a little exercise! While there, I was introduced to some of the Picklemall staff including Chance, Hector, and Zach. I created accounts for the entire family and learned about all kinds of programming that Picklemall offers. I was quite impressed to learn that members and non-members are both welcome to participate in on-site events and programming including tournaments, clinics, social events and more. It sounds like there are options for players of all skill levels too. I've since learned that if you use the Picklemall app, you can easily get access to your gameplay footage, which sounds super cool... We are already planning on returning soon. See you there!

He uses terminology congruent to the game, then explains what the term mean. He's patient, and praises attempts, all the while reinforcing the fundamentals and always keeping the basics in focus.

He's concerned about safety making sure proper footwear is worn, sunscreen is applied, water beaks are taken and repeating if a ball is missed or on the ground, let it go so not to roll an ankle.

The crowd those nights are usually very competitive, but everyone has a fun attitude. That's the best part about pickleball... the people are happy and having fun. Everyone likes to win, but if not, did you play well? Yes? Then rack up your paddle. Let's go again! Every facility has its issues. For me, the courts should be cleaned at least weekly. Their rotating schedule of cleaning is not effective for the higher use courts (open play courts). The management has been effective in their marketing and events, but lack luster in balancing open play and reserved courts in high use hours. I like the locker room. I like the beer wall and lounge area.

To my surprise I was charged for an additional month because they said there's a 30 day notice required to cancel. I was never told about it nor did I sign anything which contains such a policy. They just spring it on you when you cancel. I can't even imagine how much money they've made by charging their members for an additional month that they did not want or need. And if you try to delete your payment method to avoid additional charges, you can't! You'll get an error pop-up saying "Your organization has turned off the ability to delete payment profiles". Other members have also complained about their unethical practices and their BBB Rating is "F". So beware! If you join for a period of time and not aware of the cancel notice, you're actually joining for that time plus 1 additional month and you will be unable to delete your payment profile.

I've played recreationally here on occasion as well. The courts are great and if you're looking for indoor pickleball, you can't go wrong here. However, this Picklr doesn't compare to many of the others I've been to when you compare the facilities beyond the courts. For example, the locker rooms are super dated and dingy, the water fountain definitely doesn't seem like it is the cleanest, and it's more common than not that there are few to no snacks available. So... take that for what it's worth and have fun playing pickleball where ever you end up!

Worst PR ever. We have been drilling 5 days a week for a couple of years. Today MESA AZ was…read morereopened after renovation of 3 weeks. The new owner told us we could not drill together any longer and would have to hire one of their certified coaches. I'm 77, Rick 68, and my wife 71.

We explained we never paid any of us anything be we were drilling to get better. He said we were being coached because Rick was tossing balls to my wife to drill. REALLY BAD PR. No coaching, just drilling together for the last couple of ;years. So REALLY SAD. BEWARE at any facility that your not allowed to drill any longer without hiring their coaches.

I've also attempted to utilize it on multiple occasions with no luck, but hoping that will change in the future. Based on my experience there, the courts are beautiful and there are some light concessions available. Plenty of parking as well. It looks like there are now clinics and open play offered throughout the week, so that may be something to look into in the future. In the past, the process to check availability was to call or text the GM directly, and the times that I was looking for just never worked out. With pickleball now a huge part of life for my family, I'm sure I'll be back soon!

The membership fee includes all the basics including open play, court reservations tournaments and 4 guest passes per month (good!)
