More about Pickleball Zone
In 2023, a group of pickleball enthusiasts noticed something missing in Northeast Houston: an indoor pickleball destination welcoming players of all ages and skill levels.
Inspired to fill this gap, they envisioned an upscale, climate-controlled venue – one that offered more than just courts, but a lively space where sports, entertainment, and community could flourish.
Their vision came to life with the opening of the Pickleball Zone in December 2024. Built from the ground up in Porter, Texas, this $3 million complex features 10 indoor pickleball courts, big-screen TVs, yard games, an indoor golf simulator, lounge areas, and a spacious bar serving craft beers and cocktails.
Since its launch, Pickleball Zone has quickly become a favorite local destination, welcoming more than 3,000 visitors and growing its membership to over 350 members.
From the start, the founders prioritized intuitive technology to support efficient operations and a first-class member experience. So, they chose CourtReserve as their club management platform – leveraging our powerful integration with GoTab to manage point-of-sale and hospitality services.
Members now conveniently charge bar purchases directly to their CourtReserve accounts – simplifying transactions and elevating the guest experience.
With the combined strength of CourtReserve and GoTab, Pickleball Zone has evolved beyond just a sports facility – it’s now an entertainment hub.
The technology pairing not only supports their expanding food and beverage services, including a full-service mixology bar and high-volume guest orders during lively events, but also significantly boosts revenue opportunities.
Looking ahead, Pickleball Zone plans to continue enhancing its guest experience by expanding bar offerings, adding food truck partnerships, and refining operational efficiency. With CourtReserve and GoTab at their core, they’re confident in their ability to scale smoothly and sustainably.
By blending sports with social experiences, the Pickleball Zone has become a vibrant hub for both competitive and social players – creating an engaging atmosphere that continues to unite and energize the community.
