9 Ways Pickleball at The Paseo Club Stands Out from the Rest
October 14th, 2025 | 4 min. read

Ask anyone, and they will tell you that pickleball is not only a great workout but it is also a lot of fun. Many exciting plays and budding friendships have been made over the net.
However, it stops being fun when you have a two-hour wait, trash in the net, or a pockmarked surface. Having well-maintained facilities and supportive services can take your experience from mediocre to amazing!
Santa Clarita has many places to play pickleball, but none are as comprehensive and high-quality as The Paseo Club.
In this article, you will learn why pickleball at The Paseo Club stands out from the rest of the options in Santa Clarita. You will read about the courts, the availability, and all the amenities. Read on to discover more!
What are the 9 ways Pickleball at The Paseo Club Stands Out?
1. Court Count
No one will disagree when it is said that there are several pickleball courts in Santa Clarita. However, the majority of them have 2-4 courts — a paltry amount to meet the demands of all the players in the valley. This issue becomes even more significant during peak hours, when wait times exceed the time on the court.
The Paseo Club has 11 courts, so there is always ample access for play.
2. Court Hours
Local community centers are converting their basketball courts and gym spaces into pickleball courts. These indoor courts are a great option on rainy days or when the summer temps hit the 90s. Yet, they are open only a couple of days per week for limited hours.
This availability is great if you are a retiree with little to fill your week, but for regular folks who work, this makes getting to the courts near impossible.
The Paseo Club is open from 4:45 am to 10 pm on weekdays and 7 am to 8 pm on the weekends, so you can play pickleball at the club when it works for you. The courts are well-lit for early mornings and late nights, too.
3. Reserved and Drop-In Play
If you are like most people, you like choices. Reserving pickleball courts gives you security. You can get a few matches in with friends when everyone is available, and you do not need to endure any wait times when you’ve booked courts in advance.
Drop-in play is awesome for when you want to play on a whim or when you are interested in meeting new players, expanding your pickleball-playing circle.
The Paseo Club is the only place in Santa Clarita where you can reserve pickleball courts. The club also offers drop-in play every day of the week, so it is easy to come in and play a game or two when you want to.
4. Drills
Pickleball is an easy game to pick up — one of its many charms. However, to really learn technique, working with a coach makes a world of difference.
Pickleball classes at The Paseo Club, also called drills, are led by experienced instructors who can teach you everything you need to know — footwork, how to dink, the rules of the game, and more. Drills are also places to meet players of a similar skill level, which often translates to new pickleball partners.
The Paseo Club has drills for all players, from starters to 4.5+, taught every day of the week.
5. Ball Machine
A ball machine may not sound like an exciting amenity, but for players who want to focus on improving specific plays, the repetition from a ball machine cannot be beat.
The Paseo Club recently purchased a Lobster Pickle Phenom. This acquisition is the newest creation from Lobster Sports, which has over 50 years of experience.
Customize your experience based on what you need with the Pickle Phenom.
- Six different drills
- Topspin or backspin
- 2-Line oscillation feature
- Varying speed, 25 to 60 mph
- Manual mode for repetitive practice
- Fully random for unpredictable throws
No other facility in Santa Clarita has this resource available other than The Paseo Club.
6. Private Instructors
There is no faster and more effective approach to improving your technique than to train one-on-one with a private coach. Each lesson is tailored to your specific needs, and with no other students in the class, their attention is undivided.
The Paseo Club has several verified instructors to choose from, so you are sure to find one you like. Hire one for a class or a series of 5, 10, or 20 lessons. The more lessons you purchase, the greater the savings.
7. Leagues
Once you have the basics down, joining a league is a great way to bring a little friendly competition into your pickleball life. Playing in a league can help strengthen your skills — and the camaraderie is great.
The Paseo Club is the only place in the area to join a league. There are leagues for all levels for men, women, and mixed. Leagues often last seven weeks and are very affordable to join at $35 per season.
8. Tournaments
If you love to compete, tournaments are a blast. You get to play against opponents from all around the area and have a ton of fun doing so. Many tournaments have slots for all levels and partner configurations.
The Paseo Club hosts some of the best tournaments, often partnering with organizations such as The Michael Hoefflin Foundation, Dink for Cause, and LA County Firefighter Pickleball.
9. Amenities and Services
It’s always handy to have a restroom nearby when you are playing pickleball at the county parks. However, if you’d like a little more pizazz than that, you are not alone!
The Paseo Club offers a wonderful sitting/watching/socializing area beside the courts called the porch. Drinks are served there two nights a week, and you are always welcome to spend time at the porch, visiting with members or spectating a game.
Club concierge services are available to assist in answering any questions or concerns so you can receive all of the help you need in reserving courts, learning about drills, or signing up for the next tournament.
