SQ1 Pickleball Yard Court

I will keep this short because I am still annoyed. We booked two courts for a birthday game, paid the full amount by GCash the same evening, and got a confirmation. When we arrived there was another group already playing on both courts who had booked directly with the caretaker and knew nothing about us. Nobody from the host was reachable on the number in the listing. Eleven of us stood around for half an hour and then went home. The money came back four days later after I chased it twice. I do not doubt this is a nice place to play when it works, but a double booking on a paid reservation is the one thing that has to not happen.

Turned up for a booking we had paid for and the court was still soaked from the afternoon rain. Nobody had told us, and there was no way to tell from the listing that the court is open to the sky. We waited about forty minutes, gave up, and went home. To be fair the money was returned the next day without an argument, which is the only reason this is not a one, but a message an hour beforehand would have saved four people a trip across town.

The courts themselves are perfectly fine and the price is reasonable, but there is no shade at all while you are waiting your turn. We played at two in the afternoon, which was our own mistake, and by the third game everyone not on court was hiding behind the parked cars. If you are coming in the middle of the day bring an umbrella and more water than you think you need. Early morning or evening it would probably be a four or a five.

Cheap, friendly and close to where we live, which covers most of what we need. It is a shared court so the basketball lines are still painted underneath and it takes a game or two before you stop looking at the wrong line. The net was set up correctly when we arrived, which I appreciated because the last place we tried left it to us to work out. Would happily use it again for a casual game, though I would go somewhere dedicated for anything serious.

Booked at short notice on a Sunday morning and had a reply within the hour. Turned up to find the court already open and swept. What stood out was that the booking was for a specific court rather than just a slot, so there was no confusion when another group arrived at the same time as us. We played two hours, nobody rushed us, and the whole thing cost about what one of us would spend on lunch.
