Dallas Padel Club by Padel39

This is the club a Dallas host is most likely to have heard of under two names, because it genuinely has two. It opened as Dallas Padel Club, was bought by the Austin brand Padel39 — reported as the first acquisition of a public padel facility in the United States — and is now mid-rename. The club's own page states the position plainly: "The current Dallas Padel Club by Padel39 facility is being transformed into Padel39 (North Dallas)." Both websites are live, dallaspadelclub.com and padel39.com/clubs/north-dallas-tx, which is exactly why simplepadel carries "Dallas Padel Club" and "Padel39 Dallas" as two separate three-court venues. They are one building on Belmeade Drive in Carrollton.

Three courts are bookable, all indoor, lighted and panoramic, and the club calls them climate-controlled in its own description of the facility. That last word matters more here than anywhere else in the metro: of the nine indoor padel courts in Dallas, these three are the only ones whose operator claims active cooling rather than just a roof. In a Carrollton August that is the difference between a 7pm match and a 10pm one.

Seven more courts are coming and none of them exists. The club has "broken ground on building an additional seven world-class lighted outdoor padel courts, available for play night and day, including one stadium court. Four of the courts will be covered." A banner across its own page says they "will be ready by March". The clubhouse being described alongside them — a cafe, an indoor gym, a recovery area, a pro shop, an indoor bar and a landscaped terrace running out to the courts — is written in the same future tense. PadelMapUSA already lists ten courts and all of those amenities as present. If your plan needs more than three courts, it needs a phone call and a date.

There is no court rate. The club states the unit and not the price: courts are "usually booked for 90-minute sessions" and "pricing is per session, per player". Its brand-wide guest table gives $30 to $35 a player for 90 minutes but prefaces itself "each club may be different. Here's a typical example of guest pricing" — and the proof that it is not this club's rate card is sitting next to it, because the brand page says clinics cost $40 while the classes actually on sale here are $35 and $25. Three membership tiers are published in full detail with no dollar figure against any of them.

What is priced is the program, and it is priced honestly. Shot of the Day — Volleys and First Swing both run 60 minutes at $35, an Up & Down for the 0.5–2.0 band is $25 for 90 minutes, an Americano split into two rating bands is $45 for 150 minutes, and the Free Intro to Padel is exactly that: 60 minutes, no charge, weekly, the same offer the brand runs at its two Austin clubs. Will Agritelley is the coach on every North Dallas class on the calendar.

Non-members can book, and the brand says so in its own FAQ rather than leaving it to be inferred: "All guests of all ages and levels are welcome, regardless of age or level, to play. Just note the higher court fees and the need to book closer to your chosen date." That closer date is seven days against a member's ten to fourteen, and cancellation is 24 hours where members get twelve.

Three courts seat twelve, and twelve is the number to build a group around. Sixteen is the practical ceiling and puts four people off court every round.

A 90-minute session leaves 80 minutes of play after setup, which is six rounds to 32 points. That is a full Mexicano with a real ladder rather than a scramble.

Ask what the session costs when you book. Per player is the unit, so a group of twelve is paying twelve times whatever the answer is, and the brand's own $30–$35 example is explicitly not this club's number.

If half your group has never played, the free 60-minute intro is a better first booking than a court. It runs weekly and costs nothing, which makes it the cheapest way to find out whether twelve of you want to do this again.

Do not plan around the outdoor courts until you have rung. Seven of them, one a stadium court, four covered — all of it is scheduled for March and none of it is bookable now.
