Austin Pickle Ranch - Braker Lane

This is one of the best indoor pickleball places we have played at. The courts are very nice. Reservations are needed to play, and they book out about 5 day ahead. Nice seating and areas to sit and watch. (Perhaps a bit short on the back and sidelines) Overall, it's a very nice play to play!

I recommend Austin Pickle Ranch - Braker Lane. This indoor facility boasts 16 courts, making it a fantastic spot for pickleball enthusiasts. The staff are friendly and the check-in process is a breeze. They offer free pickleballs, and you can bring your own paddles or rent them for $5 each. Plus, there's free parking!

Still the most popular spot in town. I just played with Pursuit Pickleball today at Open Play. If you don't know him go watch his podcast with Justin on YouTube. Open Play is fun, great way to work on your game and sweat. Again they can afford a bit more AC, cause they are taking in all the $. A lot more affordable than other places in town. I recommend going during off peak hours, could turn down the air a bit more but I get it it's hot 🥵 in Texas, water fountain available onsite. Waiver is easy to sign online and super friendly staff that support the love of the game and growing the community of pickleball fans versus other places that feels more about the membership and trying to upsell you. Excited to see future updates including a beer garden and I will definitely bring friends back for another round.

I recently hosted an event at Austin Pickle Ranch, and I couldn't be more impressed with the experience. The facilities are top-notch, with well-maintained courts and plenty of space for both casual players and more serious pickleball enthusiasts. The staff was incredibly accommodating and went out of their way to ensure our event ran smoothly. Special shout out to our instructor, Camden, who provided excellent coaching and made the experience enjoyable for players of all skill levels. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting into the game, Austin Pickle Ranch is the perfect place to play. Highly recommend!

$22 for two non-members to play for an hour. Easy check in. Free water refills. Will return!!!

Seriously the best pickleball place in Austin. Would say 10/10 but I’m giving 9/10 because the lights are blinding (seriously so blinding to the eyeballs!) and the initiation fee is kinda crazy (3 Benjamins not including the membership itself). Other than that it has super nice patio furniture for relaxing (seating is so ample), always water jugs with cups near by, well organized, super nice and fun crew, good crowd, nice hooks everywhere to hang your stuff on the fences, fans, free feminine supplies in the bathroom just in case, snacks and drinks available.

We absolutely love it at Austin Pickle Ranch! We joined their indoor facility on Braker during their pre-opening period and had a chance to watch them build it out. The owner and staff are amazing and have worked really hard to make it a fun and accessible place for everyone to play. You can be a member if you play a lot, but you can also just pay as you play. We've checked out and played at different indoor courts, and APR's are definitely the best we've played on so far. Most places have courts painted right on top of bare concrete, but APR has a very thin underlayment that makes the courts feel more similar to tennis courts. They're also less rough on your body. Little factoid, these courts are the first ones designed by Ben and Collin Johns's new court consulting company. They actually practice there sometimes too which can be fun to watch. Every court has its own lounge area that feels like you've got your own VIP section. The ceilings are super high, and there are sound-dampened walls and ceilings. I love all their little touches like having foam rollers, yoga mats, and ankle stretchers for people to use pre/post games. They even have shoe scrubbers to scrub off the bottoms of your shoes to minimize tracking dirt onto the courts. This is the first facility that I've played at that feels like it was designed by pickleball players for pickleball players. The owner is very hands-on, and we see him there all the time getting feedback from members and looking for ways to improve if needed.

BIG fan! Dropped in for their 4.0+ DUPR Open play recently, and have to give high praise to the Austin Pickle Ranch team. Great location/easy parking, laid back/welcoming vibe, plenty of quality indoor courts (16) and the quality of their DUPR assigned grouping was 100% accurate. Will DEFINITELY return the next time we're in Austin!

Great facility, great staff. Open play is really happening. It's one of the best pickleball facilities in Austin. Highly recommend.

I've been to a few pickleball courts and this court blows them all away. Everything you can ask for is pretty much here. Well spaced courts, Some of the walls are even padded! Great music Awesome vibe from staff and players Lots of parking! Well designed reservation system Comfortable ventilation Clean facility Beautiful colors and design Lots of comfortable chairs to rest while watching If I had to find something that can be improved it's probably the bathroom in the middle. It needs some love because it feels old and dirty. For men, go to the bathroom near the front desk close to the entrance. Much cleaner, modern and nicer to use. I drive through stressful traffic to get here every time but my stress goes away when I start playing here. Can you please open one up in Pflugerville? haha

If you're curious about where to find me most nights, it'd be here. My friends and I signed up way back in March before they officially opened and it has not disappointed. With 16 cushion-x courts, you can play for hours without taking too much of a toll on your knees and feet like you would regular outdoor courts. Each court is well placed with a seating area and TV where you can hang with friends if you book a court. Open play is all day from open til close and is divided by skill level. They also limit the amount of people per open play so you don't end up like some other places where you have to wait one hour per game. If you book a court with friends, you can all split the court cost unlike some places that charge per non-member. There are beverages and hot foods for purchase. The staff is always friendly and the owner is a pretty cool guy, until you play against him (he's a 3.5 at best) =D.

It was my first time playing pickleball indoors!! This was a nice break from the cold outside. My friend made a reservation. Rates seem to vary depending on if it's off peak or not. I think the rate my friend paid was $40/hr, which seems a bit pricey, but if you get a subscription and play a lot of pickleball, I can see how people would sign up because there are so many courts! Almost all of the courts were filled and we were playing at 9 PM. They have their own parking lot but it was a bit confusing having to go around the building to find the entrance. I wouldn't feel safe walking alone in the dark, but once we're actually inside the building, it's quite warm and inviting. You check in with them and then go to the assigned court number. There are snacks/drinks to buy. I think they also sell their own tumblers. There are water fountains next to the restrooms.

Great spot for pickleball. Friendly staff and well ventilated. I would visit again, lots of parking too.

We visited Austin Pickle Ranch from Houston and so happy we did! We were able to book a morning Saturday session - 2 hours for $15 - I did have to book it days in advanced before they fill up quickly. They separate open play to three divisions - beginner, intermediate and advanced. The intermediate is a big range (3.0-4.0) but luckily it wasn't so bad. Out of about 15 players, 2 struggled a bit with play but all the players were pretty patient and friendly. The lighting is bright so when hitting lobs, you feel like you're playing with the sun. Ceiling is a little low so you'll need to learn how to control your lobs. One court had a fan blowing so it may impact the ball a bit. I do like that they have artificial turf between the courts which prevented the ball from rolling far. The sound barriers are great because it wasn't that noisy as opposed to other indoor clubs we've played at. We def will be back whenever visiting!

New Pickleball spot in the north end... And it's indoors. Gotta love it. This place is awesome. The vibe inside feels very hipster and the courts are near perfect. Not sure if they have AC, but there are plenty of fans and definitely much cooler than playing in this Texas heat. 16 indoor courts with players at various levels throughout the day. For open play it's about $13 for 2 hours. Their website is fairly easy to navigate and book a court.

My favorite indoor pickleball courts in town that I've been to so far. I have really enjoyed their ladies night - it's a great opportunity to practice with no pressure. Everyone has been so friendly and encouraging.

Came here late night and reserved a court for an hour. I really enjoyed their facility since it's indoor and it's really spacious. There are many courts that you can choose from and good lightings. The only downside is it's pretty expensive and most outdoor pickleball courts are free. I think for the experience, it's worth going to. Highly recommend going there at a later time since it's less crowded

I love playing pickleball here. They have various levels of open play sessions. It's so easy to sign up for a session, and everyone I've met playing has been so nice and friendly. It's a great way to play pickleball when you don't know a lot of other players. I also am a fan of Ladies Night because you can bring friends new to pickleball and there's a mini-lesson to help them learn. The courts are in great condition and it's easy to book.

Indoor pickleball with 16 courts!!! Open play has beginner, intermediate, and advance. They have beverages and a hot food machine in case you get hungry while playing. Facility is clean and bathrooms are always stocked.

I did it! I finally played pickleball for the first time! And loved it! I don't have a comparison point but found this venue to be welcoming, clean, with equipment in great condition. The desk was staffed by helpful people and the corner courts were ideal for us beginners who shot the ball in every which way. The inside area, the larger section of 20ish courts in two neat rows, was intense and intimidating with professional-level players. It did smell like a men's locker and maybe some airflow would've helped. Or one of those scented air freshener mist fans.

Austin Pickle Ranch is the perfect addition for local pickleball enthusiasts! Unlike many pickleball courts in Austin, Austin Pickle Ranch operates indoors and offers 16 courts. The location is a bit remote. Once you arrive on the property, follow the signs and those with paddles. Austin Pickle Ranch operates via reservations only and the system opens five days in advance to the date of your choice. It's important to also make sure to select the appropriate level (1-3), based on your skill. Though courts can be reserved by the hour, memberships are also available. Pricing varies, off-peak rates are $20 per hour before 5 PM on weekdays vs $40 during on-peak after 5 pm and on weekends. I love the space, artificial turf and seating provided in each section of the court, it allows you to slow things down in between sessions.

Man, I really wanted to make this spot my pickleball home, but it was way too hot! The space is HUGE, so I know it's got to be super difficult to keep it cool, but not impossible. If management can fix this one thing, this place would be almost perfect! The positives: The layout is great. You can walk around without having to interrupt games. Their open play reservation system keeps overcrowding to a minimum. The court surfaces are great! The barriers around courts largely keep the balls from interfering with other games. The leveling system is self-monitored, but it's still nice to be able to sign up at your skill level. If you're an off-peak hours player, then the pricing isn't bad. If you want to play peak hours, then the pricing isn't as great. It also doesn't come with free court reservations like a different club does for the same price point. But it's huge and beautiful, so it's a good spot for indoor play.

I went here last week with a few friends. It was such an awesome facility with so many courts. It was $40 for an hour but split between the 4 of us it was $10 a person. It had a good amount of people for a Tuesday night. I definitely recommend trying to book 1-2 days in advance for a prime time evening spot. Otherwise you can book day of and get the time you want. The have a ton of parking and plenty of signs. We all brought our own paddles and balls but I think you can rent them for free.They also sell different kinds of beverages and have free water cooler if you need anything to drink.

We had a fantastic coaching session with coach Jed Miracle on Saturday and had an absolute blast! The facility was top notch and the session had these four newbies ramped up and playing an actual game within 30 minutes. We loved the whole experience and will definitely be back!

I'm not a member. My friends and I booked for a weeknight 8-10PM and it's about $15 pp if you can gather 6 folks. Facilities are clean although I didn't use the bathrooms or venture into the 13 court space. Played on Court 2, which didn't have chairs and you have to cross court 1 (?) to get to it. It's still not bad. Plenty of parking, water available. If anything the lighting is too bright. If you're a member, you can book court times for a discount on the rate. I plan to play here more and probably sign up to be a member.

Website busted, can't register, tried on 2 browsers across 3 devices. To top it off, nobody answers the phones. Yikes.

New location for Austin Pickle Ranch on Braker Lane! They have 16 courts and indoor facility is huge! Plenty of parking available, but not the best location I do miss the old location on W6TH. The best part is that the facility is all INDOORS perfect timing to avoid the Texas summer heat! The courts are top notch condition and kudos to the design on the interior looks very spacious! Sweat Pals does weekly events where all level of players can sign up weekly or you can sign up on APR business website for open play!
