For the uninitiated

What is padel?

It's tennis's more social cousin: doubles only, on a compact court walled in glass. The walls keep the ball alive, so rallies last, points get dramatic, and most people are hooked by the end of their very first game. If you can hold a paddle, you can play.

Fun in minutes

The serve is underhand and the walls keep the ball in play — so you skip the hard parts of tennis and you're rallying, and laughing, inside ten minutes.

Better with friends

It's always doubles, so it's half sport, half hangout — the perfect excuse to get three friends, a double date, or the whole group chat off the couch.

Rallies that don't quit

Because the ball ricochets off the glass, points last, comebacks happen, and every rally turns into a little drama — as fun to watch as it is to play.

Anyone can play

Any age, any fitness level, no tennis background needed. There's far less running than tennis, and a partner to cover the rest.

Why it's better

The easiest club you'll ever play

Book any court in seconds on Playtomic — the app padel players already use — then just show up and play. Smart automation means the club is open early to late, seven days a week.

Book in seconds on Playtomic

Pick your court, day and time in the app — instant confirmation, find partners, track your level.

No membership required

Pay per court and bring whoever you want. A founding membership is a perk, never a gate — anyone can play.

Open when you are

Because it runs on smart automation, the club stays open more hours — and stays fairly, transparently priced.

More than courts

Everything for a great evening out

Come for the padel, stay for the rest — a lakeside club built to hang out in, not just play at.

Two glass courts

Regulation outdoor padel with pro glass walls and floodlights for night play.

Outdoor gym

A functional-training rig and weights on a deck — warm up or get a full session in before you play.

Gear on site

Loaner paddles and fresh balls — show up empty-handed and just play.

Lounge & fire pit

Grab a drink, watch a match, stay after — the social heart of the club.

More on the way — sauna and cold-plunge recovery are planned as we build out the club.

Frequently asked questions

What are the hours?

Open 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM, seven days a week. Because the courts are outdoor we close at a neighbor-friendly hour — no overnight play — but you'll have morning-to-late-evening availability every day, all bookable on Playtomic.

Do I need to know padel already?

Not at all. Padel is one of the easiest racket sports to pick up — most people are rallying within 10 minutes. We run beginner clinics, and founding members get invited to a Padel Preview so you can try before the club opens.

How do I book, and do I need a membership?

Book any court in seconds on Playtomic — the free app padel players already use. No membership required: pay per court and bring whoever you like. Your booking unlocks the gate and lights automatically, so you just show up and play. (A founding membership adds prepaid play and perks, but it's optional.)

Can I book for my company or team?

Yes — Topspot is built for team offsites, client events and recurring corporate play. Private court sessions include beginner coaching so anyone can join, you can add the gym, and it's one flat invoice. Message us on WhatsApp to set it up.

When do you open?

Our target Grand Opening is Q4 2026. Join the waitlist and we'll share progress, invite you to a free Padel Preview, and give you first access to book.

How do I become a founding member?

Founding memberships are invitation-only while we fill the cohort. Join the waitlist and we'll send you the details and your personal invite.
