Pickleball Courts in Myrtle Beach
Quick Answer: Myrtle Beach has 22 pickleball locations with 101 courts, split into 10 indoor locations with 42 courts and 13 outdoor locations with 59 courts. Ten of those locations have free courts. Pepper Geddings Recreation Center at 3205 N Oak Street is the best documented indoor venue.
Myrtle Beach is a bigger pickleball city than most visitors expect, and the useful detail is how much of it is indoor. In a humid coastal climate with a heavy visitor season, that matters more than the headline court count.
How much pickleball is there?
101 courts across 22 locations. The split is what makes the city unusual:
- 10 indoor locations, 42 courts. A far higher indoor share than most cities of this size.
- 13 outdoor locations, 59 courts. The larger half, and weather dependent.
- 10 locations with free courts. Free play is available across a good spread of the city.
Forty two indoor courts is the number worth remembering. It means a rained out afternoon or a punishing August midday does not end your session, which is not true in most beach destinations.
Where should you play?
Pepper Geddings Recreation Center is the venue the city documents most fully, at 3205 North Oak Street.
It has three indoor hard courts with permanent lines, and portable nets are available. Restrooms are on site. A one time fee is required to play, and the city does not publish the amount, so call ahead on (843) 918-2280 for current rates.
What are the opening hours?
The city publishes these for Pepper Geddings:
- Monday to Friday. 6am to 7pm.
- Saturday. 8:30am to 4pm.
- Sunday. Closed.
The Sunday closure is the one that catches people out. A visitor with a Sunday morning free and a paddle in the car needs to plan around it, and a 6am weekday opening is generous by comparison.
What should visitors know?
Myrtle Beach is a holiday destination, so a large share of the people on court at any time are visitors. That makes it an easy place to arrive alone and get into a game, because nobody assumes you are a regular.
It also means peak weeks are genuinely peak. With 22 locations to choose from you have options, but the best known venues fill first.
Bring your own paddle. If you have travelled here to play, our guide to taking a paddle on a plane covers the airline rules.
What does it cost?
Ten of the 22 locations have free courts, so playing for nothing is realistic if you are willing to use an outdoor court.
Pepper Geddings charges a one time fee, unpublished, so call for the amount. Resorts and private clubs along the Grand Strand set their own rates and are a separate tier again.
How does it fit a pickleball trip?
Well, and the numbers are the reason. The Grand Strand has the accommodation infrastructure, the climate supports play for most of the year, and 101 courts across 22 locations means you are never far from one.
The indoor capacity is what turns it from a fair weather destination into a year round one. If you are planning a trip around the sport rather than playing while you are here, our overview of pickleball tourism covers how the category works.
