Already known for a beautiful Tennis Center in North Scottsdale, the DC Ranch Village Health Club & Spa is excited to announce the addition of 12 outdoor pickleball courts. Opening in September, the new courts will allow Village members to engage in fun social events and organized play for all ages and skill levels.

Quickly becoming a popular sport around the world, there are many benefits to playing pickleball at the Village:

Pickleball is a great aerobic workout and can help improve your agility, coordination and balance. It is a cross between tennis, badminton and table tennis and is very adaptable to different levels of play.
