What I like! What I Don’t
The Picklr Facility in Newtown is first class. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. That’s what I like.
What I don’t like is that I can’t play when I want to play.
I like to play intermediate 10-12 M- W-F.
The problem is that it is fully booked a week or more in advanced. I end up playing outside because I can’t play when I want to play.
I would like to play 8 times a month but I rarely get the chance. This makes it a poor value for me.
I would play 12-2 but it is not available. The Management is considering a 12-2 Low Intermediate but it has not happened yet.
Ironically, the club is over packed between 10-12 and then mostly empty after that.
The big question from my perspective comes down to why can’t I come and play when I want to play?
If all courts are packed then add an adjoining time frame like 12-2 to hopefully relieve some of the demand of 10-12.
Thanks for your consideration. The Club is great except for this really Big problem.

Wack app
Terrible UI to try to find and sign up for open plays and group plays. Super confusing layouts. In addition, it doesn’t have the most basic capability you would want, which is to message other members at your club to set up group play. Instead, we have to use Swish to keep score for round robins and then use Teamreach, but wait only the club can message members on teamreach. Seriously, that might as well be social media since that’s the only use for it.
Pickleball is supposed to be about community, so I’m paying a monthly fee for something that gives me less access than just having a WhatsApp group with the local public park.
Picklr needs to rethink this approach. Also, why would they be ok with members needing 3 different apps.thats just a poor user experience.
If I could set up group play with other members, I’d happily pay the high monthly membership, but with the constraints I’m not sure I’ll stick around and I’m hearing the same from other members for the club that just opened a week ago.

Rarely works
If you click on one of your sessions you’re waitlisted for, you are often taken to the next session you’re actually signed up for. I have reported being unable to sign up for sessions multiple times and always “The manager will call”. I get taken off the waitlist with no notifications despite them being turned on. It’s impossible to figure out how to take yourself off a waitlist.
