Racket Groove gives its address as 'Lippo Cikarang (behind Gahyo korean restaurant)', which is both how you will find it and the tone of the entire listing. Three semi-indoor padel courts — Padel 1, 2 and 3, green, premium synthetic grass, built by the venue's own account for fast rallies and social play — plus two orange pickleball hard courts, Pickleball A and B. Five rectangles, three of them padel; the pickleball pair seats a pickleball four and no padel four. The facilities are written the same way: hot and cold showers ('your muscles will thank you'), lockers, a canteen and lounge, a sound system you can ask to borrow for an event or a coaching session, and a PushIt Replay camera rig marked coming soon.
The listing carries a WhatsApp line for coaching or a rally partner, 0813 2125 954, which is the single most useful number in this city for a group that is two players short of a session. The venue rules are brief and specific: no cigarettes or cigars inside, though IQOS and vapes are fine indoors, no eating on court, appropriate footwear, bags off the court, booking times respected, and a request to keep it family-friendly because there are usually kids about. Weekdays run Rp150.000 to Rp275.000, the weekend's quotable figure is Rp225.000, and the Rp100.000 at the foot of both columns is Ayo's promo floor. 4.88 across 56 reviews.
Getting there
Lippo Cikarang, behind the Gahyo Korean restaurant — the venue's own directions, and more use here than a street number. Car parking, a café, a musholla and hot showers are on the listing. Closing is 22:00, earlier than most of the Lippo venues.
Running a session here
Racket Groove has 3 courts, and a 60-minute booking is the slot to plan around. That fixes almost everything else about the evening.
- Bring 12 to 16 players. 12 is everyone on court every round; past that you are running a sit-out queue, which is fine but somebody has to track it.
- Expect about 6 rounds once you take out warm-up and changeovers — play each to 21 points so every court finishes together and the scores stay comparable.
- At 16 players, 4 people sit out each round. 3 courts tops out at 16 players before the sit-out queue is longer than the court time.
Formats that fit
- Americano a full rotation at 12 players is 11 rounds and the booking holds 6, so you play a slice of it. Fine for an evening, but the standings are a snapshot rather than a complete table.
- Mexicano re-pairs by the standings each round, so the games stay close. 6 rounds is enough for the table to mean something.
- King of the Court winners move up a court, losers move down. Works from 6 rounds on 3 courts.
| Courts | Everyone plays | Up to |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4 | 5 |
| 2 | 8 | 10 |
| 3 | 12 | 16 |
Three padel courts is twelve on court and a ceiling of sixteen. An hour is six rounds to 21 — a Mexicano; the twelve-player Americano wants eleven rounds and therefore two hours.
The two pickleball courts are the answer to four people who came and are not playing, and they are not a fourth padel court. Book them as pickleball.
Two short of a session? The listing's WhatsApp line offers a rally partner — the venue arranging it, which almost nothing else in Cikarang does.
