Frequently Asked Questions
ARE THE COURTS CONCRETE?
No. Every court at The Grove has a premium cushioned surface designed for great play while being easier on your body than standard concrete.
ARE THERE COVERED COURTS?
Yes. The Grove is an indoor, air-conditioned pickleball facility, so you can play comfortably no matter what the Dallas weather is doing outside.
ARE PETS ALLOWED AT THE GROVE?
We love pets, but they need to sit this one out. Pets are not allowed inside The Grove.
CAN I BRING OUTSIDE FOOD OR DRINKS?
Yes, you are welcome to bring outside food and drinks. Come fueled, hydrated, and ready to play.
WHAT ARE YOUR HOURS?
Both The Grove Design District and Downtown are open Monday–Friday from 6:00 AM to midnight and Saturday–Sunday from 7:00 AM to midnight. View current court availability and program times on our booking platform.
IS PARKING AVAILABLE?
Yes, parking is free. Guests can park in our designated parking lots or use available street parking nearby.
DO I NEED PICKLEBALL EXPERIENCE TO PLAY?
Not at all. Whether you are brand new or already hooked, The Grove is built for all levels. Come as you are, and we will help you find the right way to play.
DO I NEED TO BRING MY OWN PADDLE?
No paddle? No problem. We have paddles available so you can still jump in and play.
ARE BALLS INCLUDED WITH COURT RESERVATIONS?
Yes. Pickleballs are included with court reservations. Just bring your court shoes and your game face.
WHAT SHOES SHOULD I WEAR?
Court shoes are required. They help protect the courts and give you the support you need for quick stops, starts, and kitchen-line heroics.
CAN KIDS PLAY AT THE GROVE?
Yes, kids are welcome to play at The Grove. It is a great place for families to get on court together.
CAN NON-MEMBERS PLAY AT THE GROVE?
Yes. Non-members are always welcome at The Grove. You can book a court or register for open play, clinics, lessons, leagues, tournaments, and other programs without a membership. Standard non-member pricing applies.
WHAT IS THE GUEST FEE ON A MEMBER'S COURT RESERVATION?
Each non-member on a member’s court reservation pays a $10 guest fee at the front desk or kiosk. A member may use an available guest pass to cover that person instead. Members playing with other members never pay a guest fee.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO RESERVE A COURT?
Court reservations are $25/hour during non-peak times and $40/hour during peak times.
WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?
Reservations canceled within 24 hours are not eligible for a refund.
ARE WALK-INS WELCOME?
Yes, walk-ins are welcome. That said, open play sessions can fill up quickly, so spots are not guaranteed. Booking ahead is the best way to lock in your play time.
DO YOU OFFER PICKLEBALL LESSONS?
Yes. Our coaches offer lessons for players who want to learn the game, sharpen their skills, or finally figure out what to do with a third shot drop. Book a lesson with a Grove coach.
DO YOU OFFER LEAGUES?
Yes. The Grove hosts leagues for players who want consistent games, friendly competition, and a reason to keep improving. View upcoming leagues.
CAN I HOST A PRIVATE EVENT AT THE GROVE?
Of course. The Grove hosts corporate outings, team building, birthdays and parties at both of our Dallas locations, for groups of up to 400. Our most popular add-on is our pro service: Grove pros run the whole event, from check-in and court assignments to the bracket, scores and a quick beginner clinic, so your group just shows up and plays. Paddles and balls are included. Plan your private event.
IS SMOKING OR VAPING ALLOWED AT THE GROVE?
No. The Grove has a strict no smoking or vaping policy anywhere inside the facility. Thanks for helping us keep the courts, lounge, and community spaces fresh and welcoming for everyone.
