Open in the fall of 2021, this new family and sports-driven entertainment spot in Cedar Park offers a little something for everyone, from volleyball courts to games for children, and, of course, pickleball. There are two pickleball courts, two outdoor bars, one indoor bar, a covered patio, and a huge, lush lawn with one outdoor television. Food includes Monterrey-style tacos from the Takavron food truck and burgers from the Wagyu on Wheels truck, and drinks span beer, wine, and cocktails. Pickleball rates are $15 to $30 per hour.

There’s so much to do at the sprawling Horseshoe Bay report, which does include playing pickleball. The all-inclusive resort offers eight pickleball courts in addition to its 14 hard and clay tennis courts, so you can master whichever netted sport you like. Lessons are also available. There are also six food and beverage spots to choose from, with both casual and upscale options spanning Hill Country cuisine, barbecue, seafood, steaks, burgers, pizza, beers, cocktails, and more.

Austin FC enthusiasts will enjoy playing pickleball at the Parmer North park and venue, where there are two courts available for reservations and an additional court open to the public – all free to use, and paddles are available for rent. In addition to an excellent game-day destination (whether it’s football or soccer), there are four onsite restaurants (Taco Flats, Ranger Burger, Smoke Show, and GA Roti), as well as the Coffee Club and two bars serving beers to frozen cocktails. 

For the wine-drinking pickleball enthusiasts, head out to Spicewood to enjoy four outdoor pickleball courts available by reservation only. The rate is $25 per hour with a one-hour minimum. Besides pickleball, there’s a huge open lawn, multiple televisions, and a fireplace to cozy up to when it’s not 100-plus degrees, and, oh, yeah, and a wine tasting room with five wines and grab-and-go food items.

Also located in Spicewood, the brewery offers six outdoor pickleball courts, which are reservations-only at $25 an hour with a one-hour minimum. The brewery has seven regular beers on tap with several others in seasonal rotation, like a Belgian golden ale or Mexican lager. Food truck Frontyard Food Co. is dishing up burgers, Bavarian soft pretzels, tacos, fries, and more.

While the kids are allowed on the Dripping Springs venue just not at the indoor bar), Dreamland is basically an adult-only playground full of music, art, games, food, and sports nestled on 86 acres in the Hill Country. There are 16 pickleball courts and mini golf, among other activities and points of interest. Pickleball court rates run from $24 to $40 per hour depending on day and time, and reservations are highly encouraged. Paddles are available for rent. Food includes salads, sandwiches, burgers, and pizza. 

For something off the beaten path, drive south to Kyle for a serene pickleball experience at the hotel. With four lighted pickleball courts and an airy pavilion, it’s easy to dink and drink the day away on this 88-acre property. While guests can enjoy the pickleball courts, the public can also join in on the fun during weekly pickleball clinics for $50 per person. Every stay includes daily breakfast and three-course dinners.
