Positive Reviews:

Joe Bohac: ★★★★★

THIS PLACE IS GREAT! I was visiting from out of town, and went for one of the morning open play sessions. Miles was really helpful and help introduce to me to some of the locals. This will be my go to place when in the area!

Chris Ciketic: ★★★★★

I had such an enjoyable time playing here for the last 4 days while spending a week in the desert. Miles and Uta are so great at providing and fostering a fun, competitive, and inclusive atmosphere. Thanks so much for treating me and everyone who comes here like family. I met so many great people like Chris, Cynthia, Steve, Bill, Felix, Mylan, Nathan. I searched high and low to find games out there and this should be your one and only go-to place too play pickleball for all levels of play. Can't wait to come back!

Angela Incera: ★★★★★

I love Paradise Pickleball in Palm Desert. When I’m in town , I come out and I am So welcomed by Miles and Uta and all the wonder players everyone is so pleasant and happy and games are competitive . Let’s gooo Paradise Pickleball you guys rock !!! 😊😊❤️ …

Greta Beth: ★★★★★

Our church pickleball group came here for a fun 3-day PB getaway in November 2024. This place is still undergoing more exciting improvements, in addition to those already completed. We opted to stay across the street at Holiday Inn, with zero regrets. There is a port-a-potty next to the courts for emergencies, and a full bath at the adjacent hotel for customer’s use. Additional facilities are still being constructed. I am quite impressed how much has been overhauled on this property already. I can’t wait to watch this place evolve and unfold! The courts are great, with lights in the evening, well marked for levels at open play, and very hospitable owners. We didn’t want to leave! Such great energy here 💚 Everyone came home asking to make this a regular destination for PB, so it was definitely a WIN! We are planning another trip here before the hot June weather kicks in.

Tristan Heberlein: ★★★★★

I just spent a few days at Paradise Pickleball, in town from Seattle, for an Engage Pickleball Camp. The camp was awesome, but just as awesome was the morning and evening open play here. I found the owner, Miles, his wife, Uta, and their other employee, Gia, very welcoming and friendly. They do a great job of labeling each court by skill level, to ensure fairly well-matched competition, which is a big problem on open, public courts back home. I also had fun watching some of the league matches here, and probably my favorite play was the Wednesday night open play ladder. All around, a great facility. Miles always answers the phone during business hours, even when out on the court playing! This court is run by pickleballers, for pickleballers. All around an exceptional experience.

Brad Klopman: ★★★★★

If you’re just visiting, or a local, Paradise Pickleball is your new favorite spot! Clean courts, plenty of room, great players, but overall it’s the love of pickleball oozing from owners Miles and Uta that make playing here so special. A must visit!!

David Basnett: ★★★★★

Late spring in the mornings is the perfect time to play pickleball at Paradise. Miles and his wife are very kind, he’s got some skills on the court as well and rotates in with the crowds. Their hats are super comfortable, I recommend one especially if you forgot yours 😅 I’ll definitely come back to play. Don’t laugh at my CRBN 1 …

Jeremiah Miller: ★★★★★

Met some really nice people there. Some of the nicest courts I’ve seen. Very welcoming to a visitor. Go see Miles he’s the man! Will definitely return next Coachella!

Nicholas Lawson: ★★★★★

The best pickleball location in the Coachella Valley! 20-plus pristine courts, and several tennis courts, conveniently located behind the Embassy Suites hotel. The owners, Miles and Uta, have a genuine passion for the sport. They go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome and put a lot of energy into pairing players with the right opponents. They do their best to ensure everyone gets a game in even if they just drop in. Open play times are filled with other enthusiasts eager to get a game in. We’ve met lots of new friends and genuinely enjoy our time here. If you’re looking for a place to join or want to play your first game, look no further.

Rob Davies: ★★★★★

Great facility, lots of levels of play, organized so that you are in challenging games, or play with your own group. Unfortunately it doesn't jump out when you drive by... but google maps is your friend. Centrally located, worth a visit to play!

will mendoza: ★★★★★

A great place to play when visiting the area. Segregated play based on skill level that makes the play experience much better. Friendly and welcoming owners and fellow players.

Francisco Miranda: ★★★★★

Best place to play PB in the Desert. Courts are well kept, always a friendly atmosphere, players of all levels. Uta and Miles are always there and ready to help. They have lessons for all levels, a practice court, membership and per session options, a paddle try before you buy program. Simply fantastic!

Andrew Kadera: ★★★★★

In town for the weekend and had a great time. This facility is a great place to play and Miles and Uta run it well. I look forward to playing here again next time I'm back in town.

Di Desiderio: ★★★★★

Best pickleball experience! Great courts, love that they put you with someone the same level. Owners Miles & Uta are the nicest people.

Jim Owen: ★★★★★

My wife and I were visiting from Canada and found Paradise Pickleball online while in Palm Desert. Great courts, and the owners Miles and Uta were very accommodating. In fact, Miles even came to the rescue as a 4th so we could keep playing. We will definitely be back!

Rhea: ★★★★★

Fantastic place and fantastic people. There are tons of courts so you're never left waiting for a game, and plenty of space to relax on the sidelines. We took a huge group here (approx 40 people) and everyone had a lovely time!

Eric Heiliger: ★★★★★

We had a corporate event at Paradise for around 50 people and it couldn't have gone better! Miles had everything setup and prepared for our team when we arrived. They provided instruction and even got involved and played a few games with us. The facility was flawless with great lighting and immaculate courts. There was also a raised viewing area for those who were spectating. Thanks so much to Miles and the staff at Paradise for hosting such a great event for us.

Jaron Ray Hinds: ★★★★★

The booking process is seamless, thanks to an intuitive online reservation system. The staff is professional and courteous, always on hand to assist with any inquiries or needs. Whether you're a seasoned player or a newcomer, you'll feel well-supported and at ease at Pickleball Paradise. The facilities at Pickleball Paradise are second to none, catering to players of all levels. The courts are well-maintained and provide an excellent playing surface, while amenities such as locker rooms and a pro shop add to the overall experience.

Eddie's Edventures: ★★★★★

If you're looking for a great place to play pickleball in Palm Desert, then head over to Paradise Pickleball on HWY 111 near Cook Street, behind the Embassy Suites. They have 21 outdoor pickleball courts, with a great group of players that show up for their open play sessions. Check out some of their demo paddles too. My wife tried the Selkirk Luxx paddle and absolutely fell in love with it. Needless to say, we bought it on site.

They inserted someone into our game right after we started and were having fun. They didn’t do that to anyone else and we were separated the rest of the morning.
