Description

Sunrise Pickleball Club is a nonprofit 501(c)(7) organization, established in 2017, that manages and promotes pickleball at Rusch Park in Citrus Heights, a 12-court dedicated facility built through a combination of park-district grants and club fundraising, once the largest dedicated pickleball facility in the Sacramento region. The all-volunteer board runs six-day-a-week drop-in sessions, quarterly round robins, holiday parties, and other social and competitive events for the club’s roughly 650 members. Membership costs $100 a year (or a $1,000 lifetime option), covering access during club drop-in hours on 10 of the 12 courts (courts 9 and 10 remain open to non-members); non-members pay a $10 daily guest fee. Players must bring their own paddle and balls, with loaner paddles available for newcomers and balls sold on-site for $5 per two.

Reading the reviews for Sunrise Pickleball was disheartening, as many seem upset about rude members or the necessity to pay. However, the situation is quite straightforward and fair. The courts have clear signage indicating they are primarily for members, with two courts open to the public. The cost is $10 per day or $100 for the year. Solo visitors are guaranteed playtime, and there are specific courts designed for rotating players—either two on, two off, or four on, four off when busy. In my experience, the community is welcoming, the games are fantastic, and the overall atmosphere is enjoyable.

Do not go here if you want to play pickleball. The community is sensitive and expects you to play by the rules that they don’t follow themselves. Membership is a waste of money, better to play on the free public court since stuck up members aren’t allowed to hop on that. Got harassed by some guy for playing more than one game even though no one came up to us and asked to join in the first place, expects you to see pickleball paddles “waiting in line” that are 50 feet away from the court you’re playing on. With all the extra made up rules you might hear from other “members” I wouldn’t waste your time coming here. Just seems like entitled seniors only place where they can feel in control. Would’ve been a different experience if we were spoken to nicely and the other parties communicated better and done their part as well. Won’t be long before this park gets turned into a care home.

Unlike most of the reviews say this is one of the nicest pickleball clubs in the area, with individually fenced courts. Membership fee at 100 per year which is less then a lot of other local sports clubs per month fee. During club hours if u are not a member there are 2 public courts available. The membership fee is there to pay for the care and resurfacing of the courts. if you are a new player there is a pb101 hosted every month for anyone to join

★★☆☆☆

Great courts, come with a group or you will not play.There are 12 courts and they are lit. There is only 1 of the 12 designated for public play. If you play on the other courts you will be policed by the club and kicked out. My friend and I were kicked out because they didn’t like how we looked.If you plan on playing here don’t expect any court time unless you pay the dues which have increased from 20 to 100 in the last few years.
