Everything you want from a pickleball club. Under one roof.
We built Detroit Pickleball Club for players who want more than a place to rally. Here's what's waiting for you this December.
Eight dedicated indoor courts
Courts made for pickleball and nothing else, with enough of them to run open play, leagues, clinics, and tournaments without one crowding out the other.
Daily open play
Show up solo, get matched into games, and meet players at your level. No group text, no fourth player to track down.
Climate controlled, all year
No rain delays, no August heat, no shoveling snow before a January match. Your season runs all twelve months.
Leagues and tournaments
Get a set weekly schedule, a regular crew to battle, and tournaments across a range of skill levels when you're ready to test your game.
Lessons and clinics
From your very first serve to sharpening your third-shot drop, instruction and clinics will help you keep leveling up.
Lounge, pro shop and locker rooms
Social lounge space, luxury locker rooms, and an on-site pro shop with paddles, gear, and club merch. Come early, stay late.
The best part of your week, on repeat.
Picture a Tuesday. You leave work, head south, and you're on court before the evening gets away from you. A few competitive games, a few laughs, and a crew you'll start seeing every week.
That's what Detroit Pickleball Club is built for. Open play gets you into games fast. Leagues give you something to look forward to. And the lounge gives you a reason to stick around and talk about that one point you're still thinking about.
- Come alone or bring your whole group
- Games for every skill level, every day
- A social space made for hanging out between matches
- A community of players who take the game seriously and themselves less so
Paddles, gear, and club merch will be available at the on-site pro shop.

A new destination on Detroit's riverfront.
Detroit Pickleball Club is part of a roughly $6 million transformation of a historic industrial building in Rivertown. The club takes up about 24,000 square feet. The rest becomes The Foundry, a community destination planned for local businesses, food and drink concepts, wellness providers, and gathering spaces.
