Yes. We warmly welcome everyone to play at Pickle at the Palms. Members do have priority access to programming as they may reserve courts and open play sessions 7 days in advance. They also enjoy lower pricing. We invite you to come play as a non-member and see if membership is right for you.

Quick notes for non-members:  Court reservations and open-play reservations are available with 48-hour advance registration. Non-members are welcome to join us for lessons, clinics, leagues, tournaments and events, on a space available basis. Programs offer varied registration periods for non-members.

We recognize that other pickleball facilities across the country do offer an unlimited plan. These unlimited plans generally do include restrictions on reservations. We believe that members should only have to pay for their own play, versus subsidizing other players’ court times. We are trying to create a system that is fair for everyone.

No. The Palms is a pickleball center that is open to all players! Our simple membership has been developed to ensure accessibility and availability for everyone.

Yes, but the perks are slightly different. Please visit the Juniors page for more information.

Take me to the Junior Page!

All memberships purchased during the Early Bird timeframe (by July 15, 2026) will renew on September 1, 2027.

Zero! We don’t have one!

Yes. Everyone you invite to play with you (you may have up to 8 players on a court reservation total) will pay the hourly rate for the court reservation. Members will pay the member rate, and non-members will pay the non-member rate. 

No! Our Beginner Series (learn to play) does not require a membership. It is a great way to see if you’d like to become a member though! 

Learn to Play

Open play at The Palms is structured. A limit of no more than 6 players per court ensures that everyone gets to play A LOT and have a little bit of rest too. Open play is broken into two types of play. In level-based open play sessions you will need to have the required rating to play on that court, which could be a beginner level rating or a 5.0+ depending on the court designation. Social based open play is just that – SOCIAL! All levels of players play together in social open play, but it is still limited to no more than 6 players per court. Open play is offered every day, generally within every day segment (Early Bird all the way through to Night Owl). This schedule may be adjusted as we learn what our community wants for an open play schedule.

PlayByPoint is our software partner for Pickle at the Palms. When you become a member of The Palms, you’ll click a link on our membership page that will take you to a Palms PlayByPoint page.

You can use your desktop/laptop computer to create a PlayByPoint profile, or you can download The Palms app by visiting the Play Store (Android) or the App Store (iPhones). Once you create a profile you’ll be able to purchase your membership. Later this summer you’ll be able to use PlayByPoint to book court reservations, open play, leagues and more!

Thank you for purchasing a membership!

When you click on “Join Now” a new page will open on your web browser that includes Pickle at the Palms branding. This is The Palms’ portal into our PlayByPoint operating system. PlayByPoint is the software where you will one day book court reservations, open play, leagues, clinics, lessons and more.

After you select the membership type you’d like to purchase (adult or junior), you’ll be taken to a screen where you can login (if you already have a PlayByPoint account), or where you can create a new account profile. Upon completion of your account profile, you’ll be returned to the purchasing page to pay for your membership.

There are a few steps to this process, but once you are done you’ll be ready to go this summer when we open The Palms.

If you have questions, please send us an email at hello@pickleatthepalms.com and we’ll help you through the process.
