Why the Gold Coast loves pickleball
Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in Australia — and the Gold Coast is leading the charge. The combination of a warm climate, active outdoor lifestyle, and a strong existing racquet sports community has made the Gold Coast a hotbed for pickleball growth.
The Gold Coast Pickleball Association (GCPA) has been instrumental in developing the sport, establishing dedicated courts at multiple venues across the city and running regular social sessions, competitions and beginner clinics.
With Courtly, Gold Coast players can now search all available courts in real time, see live availability, and book in seconds — no more phone calls, no more back-and-forth emails.

Court hire prices vary by venue, typically ranging from $10–$25 per hour per court. Courtly displays the total price including all fees upfront — no hidden charges. Some venues charge per person, others per court — Courtly shows you exactly what you'll pay before you confirm.

Check individual venue pages on Courtly for details. Coming soon: Courtly will also have an online gear shop for paddles, balls, bags and accessories delivered to your door.
What is the Gold Coast Pickleball Association (GCPA)?
The GCPA is the peak body for pickleball on the Gold Coast, responsible for developing and promoting the sport across the region. They run regular social sessions, competitions, and beginner programs at venues including Pizzey Park, Runaway Bay, and Currumbin. Courtly is proud to list GCPA-affiliated venues on our platform.
Is pickleball good for beginners?
Pickleball is one of the most beginner-friendly racquet sports in the world. The smaller court, lighter paddle and slower ball make it easy to pick up the basics quickly. Most Gold Coast venues offer beginner sessions and coaching. Courtly's learn page has everything you need to get started.
Can I book recurring pickleball courts on the Gold Coast?
Yes — Courtly supports recurring bookings. If you want the same court every Tuesday morning or every Sunday afternoon, contact us at bookings@courtly.com.au and we'll lock it in for you.
What's the difference between indoor and outdoor pickleball courts?
Outdoor courts are hardcourt surfaces and are great in good weather, while indoor courts (like Tallebudgera's sprung timber courts) offer year-round play unaffected by rain, wind or heat. Many Gold Coast players play both — outdoor for the atmosphere, indoor for reliability. Courtly lets you filter by court type so you can find exactly what you're after.
Are there pickleball tournaments on the Gold Coast?
Yes — the Gold Coast hosts regular pickleball tournaments throughout the year, ranging from social round robins to competitive graded events. Courtly will be adding tournament registration directly on the platform later in 2026. Follow us or check back for updates.
