If you're based in Noosa or the surrounding area and looking for pickleball, the closest dedicated indoor club is Carpe Dink'em Pickleball in Coolum Beach — about 20 minutes south down the coast.
How far is it from Noosa?
From Noosa Heads it's roughly a 20-minute drive to Coolum Beach. From Noosaville or Tewantin it's similar. The route is straightforward via David Low Way or the motorway — and free parking is available at the venue.
Why make the trip?
Unlike outdoor courts which are weather-dependent, Carpe Dink'em Pickleball plays indoors at Coolum State High School year-round. That means no cancellations, no sun glare, and consistent conditions every session.
The club also has a genuinely strong community feel — regular players, a mix of skill levels, and a social atmosphere that keeps people coming back week after week.

Pickleball is growing fast across the Sunshine Coast, and Coolum Beach is becoming the go-to destination for players from Noosa and north. Worth the drive.
