Number of Courts: 10 Dedicated Courts
Hours: 8 AM – 6 PM
Fee: $8-26
Coronado Island Marriott Resort and Spa had our favorite pickleball courts of the four courts we checked out. The views and facilities were beautiful, and Esther loved that you could get food and drinks delivered to you on the court. It wouldn’t have taken me a year to convince her to play if all courts had that.
They book courts for 2-hour time slots starting on the even hour, and it’s available to guests and the public. They also have $8 open play on Mondays and Thursdays from 8 AM to 12 PM and Wednesdays and Fridays from 2 PM to 6 PM.
There are seating areas with overhangs, and you can also take lessons. I’ve read reviews that on windy days, some of the courts are in the middle of a wind tunnel, but haven’t experienced that ourselves.
Local Tip: Mondays are the most consistently busy if you want to jump in on open play. When arriving, you will park in the gated area and enter through the Wellness Center. Bring your ticket to validate it for two hours of free parking, or you can find free street parking.
