We get it, sometimes life happens and you can’t make it to your reservation. Our cancellation policy helps us free up courts for the Austin community, so we encourage you to cancel your reservation in advance when you’re able to. Court reservations can be canceled up to 24 hours prior to start time with no charge. If a cancellation takes place within 24 hours of the start time, you will be charged for the booking unless we cancel the reservation due to weather or not having enough participants, in which case you won't be charged for the cancellation. All cancellation charges will be applied to your credit card immediately. For programs, the cancellation window depends on the event, so please be sure to read the event description and information in its entirety before signing up.
We find that players who are switching from tennis to pickleball can pick up the sport pretty fast. It is usually not too tricky because there are some similarities between the two sports. But, hey, there are some quirks you gotta get used to, like the rules, strategies, and how you serve.
We have several levels of membership available. Take a look at our membership page to find which one works best for you. https://www.austinpickleranch.com/membership
Great question! A tennis court measures 60' wide, 120' long, whereas a pickleball court is 20' wide, 44' long.
Leave your boots and spurs at home. We ask you to wear court shoes and appropriate workout gear at the Austin Pickle Ranch.
Pickleball is often described as a combination of various sports. It incorporates elements from tennis, badminton, and ping pong (table tennis).
You can learn more about our awesome programming here. https://www.austinpickleranch.com/ways-to-play
We have lights in the morning and at night, so you can play whenever you want when we are open.
Yes. Yes, it is.
Nope, you can't slam the pickleball while in the kitchen! There's this zone near the net called the non-volley zone or "kitchen." You can't volley the ball while standing in that kitchen area; you gotta keep your cool and stay out of it. It adds a bit of spice to the game, you know?
Welcome to your new favorite sport! We absolutely have options for pickleball beginners! Take a look at our how to play guide (its' better than pickleball for dummies because it's for smarties like you) or sign up for our Greenhorn clinic to learn the basics.
We sell balls on-site for $4 per ball or a four-pack for $12.
Pricing varies depending on when and how long you play! Private court reservation fees can be found at the link here: https://austinpickleranch.podplay.app/book, and events like open play and clinics can be found here: https://austinpickleranch.podplay.app/community/events. Both of these sections are easily accessible within the app!
In pickleball, you typically play to 11 points. However, the winning team must have a lead of at least two points. This means if the score is tied at 10-10, you keep playing until one team manages to go ahead by two points, winning the game.
Our reservation system does not process payments for a booking until the booking is completed. If a cancellation is made due to bad weather, you will not be charged for the reservation and no refunds or credits will need to be made.

Absolutely! It's called an ATP or around-the-post shot.
You gotta keep that pickleball over the net during the serve! Unlike tennis where you can sometimes hit the net and still keep the serve going, in pickleball, you need to get that serve cleanly over the net.
