Pickledilly Skokie

I’ve been to a lot of different pickleball clubs, and Piccadilly Skokie really stands out. One of the biggest reasons is the ownership. You can tell right away that the owners are people you’d actually want to play with and rack up with. When they’re on the court during open play, they follow the rules, care about fair play, and set the tone and expectations by example in the best way. The programming is also incredibly thoughtful. It’s clear that the member experience truly matters here. They actively listen to feedback and are always looking for ways to improve and make the club better and it shows. I went to the grand opening when Piccadilly first opened and became a member about four months ago. Since then, I’ve genuinely loved playing here. It feels well-run, welcoming, and community-driven, which is exactly what I’ve been looking for in a pickleball club.

This is a fantastic facility! There are 11 courts and they are spaced appropriately so that competitive play is not impacted, you can ATP, and return difficult shots due to the amazing space, which is not something I see at other clubs I have been to close to Chicago proper. I love the staff, their ownership is heavily involved and always open to feedback as they continue to grow as a brand new club. I really love it here and am so happy to have a consistent place to play that meets all my needs!

Pickledilly Skokie is a fun, clean, and family fun environment. It’s a place to meet friends and make new friends. The owners and workers are friendly and incredible. The Pro Shop is filled with lots of gear and knowledgeable people. There is a lounge to hang out in before and after games and lockers for all your personal items. There are plenty of open plays, instructional classes, and leagues to sign up for. The Ladder Open Plays are my favorite. Come on by and give Pickledilly Skokie a try.

So grab your paddle, take your shot, At Pickledilly—this place is hot! If Harry Caray gave it a score, He’d yell “HOLY COW!” and then some more!

We hosted our son's bar mitzvah party at Pickledilly, and I can't say enough good things about the space, the staff and the activity. The venue is beautiful, clean and bright, and there was plenty of room for our guests to mingle, play and eat. Amy helped us think through all of the logistics, offered sound advice on structuring the evening, and saved the day with the right technology when we needed it. Armi and Nathan made our family and friends who had very little experience playing feel right at home and excited about playing, and Sully kept our teens moving, laughing and learning. Thank you, Pickledilly! You made it an unforgettable night.
