According to the U.S. Padel Report 2026 from Misitrano Consulting, there are now 27 padel club operators who have more than one location across the U.S.
In parts one and two of this article series, we highlighted eight of those 27 operators — including the likes of Padel Haus, Reserve, Padel39, Bay Padel, Park Padel, and PATL — which are responsible for bringing a total of 137 courts to 27 locations in 10 different states.
This month we’re back with a third installment of this series, highlighting four more operators that have brought 46 padel courts to eight different states at nine different locations — with a reported 11 more locations coming between them.
These include:
Racket Social Club
Current Locations: 4
Alpharetta, GA
Englewood, CO
Katy, TX
Willowbrook, TX
Total Number of Courts: 17 (9 Indoor, 8 Outdoor)
Planned Future Locations: Unknown
What to Know: Racket Social Club (RSC) — which falls under the same Racquet 360 ownership umbrella as RacquetX, Racket Central, and the National Padel League — has now brought a total of 17 padel courts, both indoor and outdoor, to the suburbs of three major U.S. metros: Atlanta, Denver, and Houston.
While I’ve personally only played at their Denver location, RSC seems to put a premium on both high-quality courts and a high level of competition, so it’s little surprise they are hosting USA Padel tournaments at two of their various locations this month alone.
Conquer Padel
Current Locations: 2
Tempe, AZ
Lehi, UT
Total Number of Courts: 12 (All Indoor)
Planned Future Locations: 8
Jacksonville, FL
Ocean, NJ
Orlando, FL
Los Angeles, CA
Seattle, WA
Chicago, IL
Reno, NV
What to Know: When I first spoke with the team behind Conquer Padel for an article I published clear back in December 2024, their stated plan was to open five clubs around the greater Phoenix metro area in fairly short order.
Since then, that plan has obviously shifted significantly, with only one of those five Phoenix area locations ever opening (in Tempe in 2025) and their second location opening in Lehi, UT earlier this year — further adding to the ongoing padel boom the greater Salt Lake City area has been experiencing of late.
(Conquer’s Lehi location also recently made headlines by co-hosting the first-ever dual-club USA Padel tournament).
Meanwhile, according to Conquer’s website, the plan is now to open an additional eight locations across the U.S., starting with Jacksonville, FL, before venturing into more crowded markets like Chicago, Orlando, and Los Angeles.
If Conquer’s first two locations are any indication, you can expect these eight new clubs to blend high-level competition, plenty of high-end amenities, and an intense focus on community.
Epic Padel
Current Locations: 2
Charlotte, NC
Milwaukee, WI
Total Number of Courts: 13 (8 Indoor, 5 Outdoor)
Planned Future Locations: Midlothian, VA
What to Know: Much like with Conquer Padel, Epic Padel has seen a massive shift in strategy — at least location-wise — since I first spoke with a (now former) member of their leadership team for an article I published back in July 2024.
At the time, Epic was supposed to be imminently opening their first location on a rooftop just outside Washington D.C. in Tysons Corner, VA — with two more DMV (D.C/Maryland/Virginia) locations supposed to open shortly thereafter.
While none of those three locations ever materialized (and a planned future location in Salt Lake City has since disappeared from the Epic Padel website), Epic has managed to bring the second padel club to both Charlotte, NC (after Charlotte Padel Club) and Milwaukee, WI (after Padel MKE).
Whereas Epic’s newest location in Milwaukee is a sprawling standalone facility with eight indoor courts and plenty of other high-end amenities, their Charlotte location is instead a “club-within-a-club” mash-up with Prosperity Athletic Club which also offers tennis, pickleball, and a fitness center/clubhouse.
Similarly, a third Epic location in Midlothian, VA (which is not currently listed on Epic’s site) will reportedly transform the former Midlothian Tennis Club into a new Epic-branded club offering padel, pickleball, and tennis and opening in early 2027.
Proximo Padel
Current Locations: 1
Chicago, IL (Logan Square)
Total Number of Courts: 4 (All Indoor)
Planned Future Locations: 2
Chicago, IL (Goose Island)
Northbrook, IL
What to Know: While technically still just a single-location operator as of this writing, next month will see Proximo Padel open its second Chicagoland location, making it the first operator to have more than one location in the state of Illinois.
As discussed in a recent article, less than a year after opening their first location in the Windy City’s Logan Square neighborhood (which I had the pleasure of playing at on a tour of Chicagoland clubs back in February), brothers Alex and Victor Vainberg are on the verge of opening their second location on Chicago’s storied, 160-acre Goose Island.
This walk-through tour on Instagram highlights this soon-to-open club’s top features, including seven super-panoramic indoor courts from Italy, men’s and women’s locker rooms and showers, numerous warm-up and work-out areas, a pro shop, and a sprawling, pergola-covered social lounge.
A third location due north of the city in Northbrook, IL, is also planned for 2027, so be sure to keep an eye out for more news on that one.

Oh, and one other thing… my brand-new 352-page padel book was just recently published. So, if you enjoy the work I’m doing in the U.S. padel space, you can support me by ordering a copy (or two!) online at Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
Or if you’re a club owner and you’d want to carry a handful of copies in your pro shop for “padel curious” people who are interested in trying the sport out but don’t know quite where to start, let me know and I can connect you with my publisher’s wholesale department.
Many thanks in advance!
