The courts at Dune Lakes have been slam packed.
Has Walton been discussing adding anymore municipal courts?
They could bring in a ton of revenue with a great Pickleball complex.

The courts are free to use. If you're referring to bringing in more tourists we have too many as it is.

If it was packed with locals it would make sense to expand but a majority of players (when it is really crowded) are tourists. I don't think anyone is interested in a ton of revenue.

Why Not? I'm surprised to hear that.
Most of the people I have met here were either locals or second home owners.

Bay County builds facilities to attract and generate revenue from sporting events. Walton County focuses on beach tourism. I guess the TDC could build some pickleball courts...

It would be nice if tourist tax went toward improving the quality of life that seems to be narrowing.

Do the Pickelball Courts have lights? Also what are the hours for play?

Not on the counties website, but there is a contact number.

I believe they are lighted and I would imagine everything closes when the lights go off.

8am - 9pm daily - higher level players show up early each day. Courts are lighted and can be reserved 11am - 5pm daily. See Walton County parks and recreation website for more info.

Saw this Indoor Pickleball at South Walton Commerce Park...

League Registration will begin 1/8/25.

The Walton County Pickleball League will be played at Walton County Sports Complex (Dune Lakes). All league matches are played here. This is the only pickleball league that will be played at Walton County Sports Complex. Registration will start the 1stweek of January with the league starting around January 27th. We pushed the league back a few weeks allowing the weather to warm up. You do need a captain for communication purposes.

It will be an 8-week season for Men’s and Women’s leagues. A Mixed League will start in March/April with an 8-week season. We will continue to have pickleball leagues throughout the year, ending with a fall season. This is a player friendly league with all skill levels welcome.

League play is tentatively scheduled for Mondays and Thursdays after 5 pm and Saturdays 11am-5pm. We have adapted match times that will allow more people to play in the league.

The teams will consist of 4-6 players, with 4 players playing in a match. We dropped to 4 players matches because so many teams were having problems getting 6 players to show up. 4 players make it much more manageable for a team. Team matches will use two courts consisting of two rounds with the best 2 out of 3 games played on each line. Games 1 and 2 are played to 11, win by 2. Game 3, if necessary, is played to 8, win by 2. You will then play the opposing team’s second doubles team using the same format. The winner of each round receives one team point.

Men’s and Women’s Leagues:
14+ and 50+ Age Groups
Skill Levels include:
Beginner/Novice- 2.5-3.0
Intermediate-3.0-3.75
Advanced- 3.75-4.5

There will be a typical Registration Fee and no Court Fees. Residents outside of Walton County are Welcome to play but will pay a higher Registration Fee.

Registration Information will be out soon. If you don’t have a team, contact us and we will do our best to get you on a team. We look forward to seeing you on the courts.

Geez reading this thread….dont understand why it seems so popular to hate on things just to attempt to differentiate. Don’t expand popular services because second home owners and tourists like it? Don’t want more money for the County to invest in the community? Huh? Very strange.

The Dune Lake Complex is perfect for this sort of thing and bringing people together to have fun and be active is great.

Just be positive instead of being negative about people being negative. You're a double negative.
