Five More U.S. Padel Club Openings You Can Look Forward To
CA, FL, MD, TX, and UT are about to get 24 more padel courts...
Last month, Aris Sevastianos (who is the mastermind behind the El Remate padel newsletter) and I highlighted nine new U.S. padel clubs that will be opening in the coming months.
Now, we’re back with five more that should be on your radar — both in places where padel is old hat (like Houston, TX) and brand new (like Orange County, CA), plus a few spots in between.
These soon-to-open new clubs include:
Utah City Racquet Club (Vineyard, UT)
Utah City, a 700-acre mixed-use development in Vineyard, UT (just south of Salt Lake City), has partnered with Los Angeles-based racquet sports platform LVBL to launch, “Utah County’s first next-generation, lifestyle-focused racquet club.”
While plans originally called for six outdoor padel courts (as you can see in the rendering above), when it opens in this weekend, Utah City Racquet Club will feature four outdoor padel courts (along with six pickleball courts and two tennis courts) — making the all-out Utah padel avalanche we covered awhile back even bigger.
Further details on this weekend’s grand opening can be found here.
Estimated Opening Date: June 13, 2026
Padel Social (Bethesda, MD)
Much to the excitement of many D.C.-area racquet-sports enthusiasts, Padel Social will soon be (re)opening its doors, this time at a permanent location with three state-of-the-art (and ASCE-7-compliant) lighted outdoor padel courts from Sportsfield Specialties.
The new club (complete with a clubhouse and fully stocked pro shop) will be located just steps from its original pop-up location and have a very similar look and feel according to founder Jake Weinstock, who also tells me: “I really miss the people and can'‘t wait until we get the doors back open. We have such a great, diverse, and growing mix [of players].”
Estimated Re-opening Date: July 2026
DUS Padel (West Palm Beach, FL)
The team behind DUS Padel will soon be bringing a premium, wellness-focused padel club to West Palm Beach, FL with a new 26,000-square-foot facility that will feature five indoor courts, an organic café, recovery amenities including saunas and cold plunges, and the first official NOX Pro Shop in the U.S.
The founders are positioning it as a true “third place” where members can play, recover, work, socialize, and attend events under one roof.
Construction is already well underway and the first 100 members in the door can join up and get a wide variety of discounts and other perks (including unlimited spa access, three monthly guest passes, and 10% off lessons, clinics, food, beverages, and merchandise among other things) for as little as $2,250 per year or $225 per month.
Estimated Opening Date: Fall 2026
Punto Azul Padel Club (Houston, TX)
Later this year, a padel club known as Punto Azul will bring eight outdoor courts (three of which will be covered) from Padel Galis to the Oak Forest / Garden Oaks neighborhood of Houston, TX — which will help further establish Space City as the number two padel stronghold in the U.S. after Miami.
Fittingly enough, Punto Azul was founded by an Acapulco native, Jose Castrejon, who is committed to importing the sport’s rich culture from Mexico to the U.S., with a focus on community, hospitality, and youth development through a dedicated academy.
Rounded out by an on-site café, workspaces, bar, gym, and locker rooms, the club will help double the total number of courts in the downtown Houston area.
Estimated Opening Date: Fall 2026
Vortex Padel Club (Orange County, CA)
Thanks to Jennifer Hebrock of Mindspring Padel, I recently had a great chat with Talah Anwar, who is finally brining the world’s fastest growing sport to Orange County, CA with the opening of four outdoor courts at Vortex Padel Club later this year.
As I learned in our conversation, Talah is a biomedical engineer by trade (!) who loves the power that sports like basketball, padel, and soccer have to not only bring people together but actually create all new communities.
In fact, over the past two years Talah and his friends have held eight multi-sport events around Orange County that have attracted between 300 - 400 athletes from all walks of life — and he looks to keep that momentum up with Vortex and padel once it opens to the public later this year.
Estimated Opening Date: Late 2026
