Dill Dinkers Pickleball

I went to "Breakfast Buddies" this morning. Overall, I had a great experience. It's $7 for two hours of play. People were pretty much following the listed rules. Winner stays on and split, two new players come on and play a new game to 9. As a beginner I pretty much just stayed on the beginner court and got to play the entire 2 hours. Parking is a little unclear. There's designated spots for Dill Dinkers and then lots of other space for the other businesses and the ice rink that's across the street. Are you allowed to pretty much park anywhere? They had a pretty nice selection of demo paddles available. I have an entry level paddle, but I'll check out the other ones to see what I'm missing. This was my first indoor experience and I think it's worth it to play without the wind. I'll definitely be coming again. Great vibes, fun group of people, and excellent facility.

Showed up today on a whim looking for more details on how to obtain training and open plays. Sienna was at the front desk and immediately was very welcoming and offered me to do some training right on the spot. She was patient, but most importantly she very directive. I then continued my day for 2 more hours of open play and enjoyed every moment of it! Everyone was so welcoming- Looking forward to my one on one sessions with Sienna and enhancing my skill level.

Great facility. Nice courts, good lighting and no obstructions overhead. Friendly staff. Parking can be a bit difficult as the lot is on the smaller side.

Out of town visiting and dropped in for an open play session. They had a discounted 3 hour session for $12. Upon arrival, I found no parking. It was a holiday so I was able to park in another businesses lot. The open play session had 18 registrants but there had to be 30+ people open playing. Process is completely chaotic. You stick your paddle in a fence in the court you randomly choose. There's skill levels posted but nobody adhered to them. Winning team stays on for up to two games but splits and two new come on. Nobody did this because nobody had any idea how this mess worked. Just gather 4 and start playing. There were people just walking in straight to the courts without checking in. I think that contributed to the crazy number of open players. The players were friendly. Most were 3.0-3.5 at best. With no skill level adherence, get ready to be annoyed with non stop intentional pop ups. Oh yeah, if there are no paddles randomly strewn in the fence then you can go to eleven instead of straight to 9. Nice place but if you've been to squared away open plays, you'll be annoyed here. P.S. I went to the Bethesda location two days later and it was much better.

I went for the first time this week and had a blast. There are plenty of courts and the calendar in the app is very easy to use
