Thinking about giving pickleball a go but not sure what it'll actually cost you? Here's a straight answer, no surprises.
The Short Version
At Carpe Dink'em Pickleball, a casual session is $15 — that's paddles, balls, and a full session included, no extra fees. If you're planning to play regularly, a 10-session pass is $120, which works out to $12 a session and never expires.
What That Actually Includes
Unlike some venues where court hire, paddle hire, and balls are all separate line items, our pricing is all-in. Turn up, borrow gear if you need it, play. No membership fees, no lock-in contracts, no surprise costs at checkout.
Do You Need to Buy Your Own Gear First?
No — and we'd actually recommend against it until you know you love the game. Paddles and balls are supplied at every session, so you can try pickleball properly before spending a cent on equipment. Once you're hooked, our shop has a solid range if you want your own paddle.
Is a Pass Worth It?
If you're planning to play more than about once a fortnight, yes — the pass pays for itself fast, and it never expires, so there's no pressure to use it up by a deadline.
How to Get Started
Pick a session on our sessions page, choose casual or a 10-session pass, and you're set. First-timers are welcome at every level — you'll be rotating through games with different players within minutes of walking in.
