The programming machine runs hard: more than 20 open play sessions a week across four skill levels, capped at five players per court for maximum play time, plus leagues, lessons, clinics, three-day round robin tournaments, and touring pro events from the APP and WPT. Ray’s bar and lounge anchors the social side, with Saturday night pickleball parties, an outdoor patio, and event spaces holding up to 300 indoors for corporate outings and celebrations.

Pickleball is saving my life. Does this sound extreme? Sure. Am I lying? No, but let me tell you more.I learned pickleball in winter of 2022. But hadn’t found consistent games in the winter, and the spring the parks were busy but it was hard to find games. That summer Pickle and Chill ran a summerpass promotion and my life was changed, seeing as I haven’t stopped going since, and have spent countless hours here. This is through and through my “third place”.I’m down 80 pounds because I can’t stop playing and look forward to the next time I get to play.I have met hundreds of really amazing friends.This place is bigger than just a place to play pickleball, it’s the best facility in Columbus to play pickleball, because the people who are here foster an amazing community.They have hosted many professional tournaments with APP and the MLP, of which all have been super fun to volunteer for while getting to see the top level pros perform.There are open plays, special events, leagues, clinics, drills, and more that you can sign up for with my favorite open playing being the Friday night Sip & Serve.I really encourage anyone wanting to learn to play, or who has been playing, to check it out.

Pickle & Chill was the perfect venue for our company picnic. We had plenty of space to bring in additional activities for our team members and their families, and the staff was wonderful to work with. They made hosting our event effortless and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

★☆☆☆☆

It's rare that I'll write a negative review about a place, but Pickle & Chill deserves my time on this. This metal facility with no A/C on two separate days (evening and morning) I played was not chill in the sense of physical comfort. But neither was it chill regarding the atmosphere. Because there was no A/C, multiple industrial fans were running on high, creating a horrible din. I completed a 2-hour Intro class with Rob one evening, and he was a good coach. Explained the rules clearly and mostly worked on one skill at a time. Very hard to hear him, though. Kyra, on the other hand, did not provide a chill experience in the Skills and Drills class (described as being for all levels.) I essentially had to ask her to "chill out" because she approached me and spoke with a condescending tone you would use for a small child. She also seemed to be a player who didn't know how to coach well, trying to correct too many issues at once and unable to match her teaching to the skill level of the player. I left feeling exhausted from the heat, the industrial noise, and the treatment by Kyra. Would not recommend.
