The 300 Club has run in Gainesville since 1960 as a member-owned swim, tennis, and pickleball club, calling itself the city’s best-kept secret. Seven clay tennis courts share the grounds with 7 dedicated pickleball courts, plus a heated 6-lane, 25-yard pool. Pickleball runs on its own inexpensive membership track, $25 a month for unlimited access and online court reservations, separate from full club membership, with non-member drop-in at $3 a visit. Instruction comes from certified teaching pros, including newer instructor Pete McNiece, and the on-site Shoppe stocks pickleball and tennis apparel, Selkirk paddles by custom order, and gifts. The club emphasizes community: pool parties, holiday gatherings, and a welcoming atmosphere for beginners through experienced players. Open weekdays 9 to 5, closed weekends, it holds a 4.6 rating across 73 Google reviews.
