Clock Tower Pickleball

Drew Gormley 9 months ago

Clock Tower Pickleball is a multi-court facility located in what seems like an older warehouse in Ashland. I played in a "4.0+ openplay" where the folks were friendly and the competition was decent. The play wasn't specifically 4.0+ (and that openplay wasn't gated by DUPR, but some others might be), but it was decent play for $15/2 hours. (One of the?) Owner(s) Mike was there, and he was extremely kind and helpful in welcoming me and explaining how they do their openplays, what to expect, etc. Re: Courts - I may be spoiled given the courts I normally play, but I had a REALLY hard time seeing the S1 (they use Selkirk, not Franklin X40s) in the lighting. The lighting also made in/out calls harder due to glare. The courts did have generous space behind each baseline and enough spacing on the side to comfortably attempt ATPs. There is netting between some areas of the courts which prevented some balls from entering cross court play. Ceilings are notably low, which is fine if the player knows how to lob well, but there were probably 5-8 mishits I saw that would've otherwise been in play but hit a rafter. It's worth noting that Mike mentioned they were looking into filters or different

We hosted our gym’s holiday party at Clock Tower Pickleball in Ashland with over 75 guests, and it was absolutely fantastic. The space was clean, fun, and perfectly set up for a large group. Everyone had a blast—great courts, great atmosphere, and a super easy experience from start to finish. Highly recommend Clock Tower Pickleball to anyone looking to book a private event for friends, family, or a small business gathering. We’ll definitely be back!

I had a fantastic experience at this pickleball facility! The place is super clean and well-maintained, which makes playing here really enjoyable. The staff is friendly and always ready to help—they even offered us demo paddles to try out, which was a nice touch. Reserving courts is easy, and I love that they have open play sessions that are simple to join. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great place to play pickleball!

Clocktower Pickleball is an incredible venue for hosting a charity tournament! In September, we held a tournament to raise funds for our High School Senior Class, and the experience was seamless and enjoyable from start to finish. I first met with Macy about two months in advance to go over dates, times, and levels of play. She was organized, responsive, and helpful throughout the entire planning process. Clocktower even helped publicize the tournament and assisted with recruiting players, which was a huge help. In the weeks leading up to the event, the team at Clocktower Pickleball answered all my questions and offered valuable advice. On the day of the tournament, Macy, Patty, and Michaela were incredibly helpful—setting up refreshments, checking in players, and continually asking how they could support us. Mike also jumped in with creative ideas to showcase our sponsor signage effectively. The tournament itself ran smoothly, thanks to Macy’s perfectly timed schedule. Players had a great time competing, enjoying food and drinks, and relaxing between games. From planning to execution, everything was handled professionally and with genuine enthusiasm. I highly recommend hosting

We just renewed our membership at Clock Tower. It's been a great experience from the start. I've always been impressed with the continuous flow of well organized events. While there are a core group of regulars, there is a constant flow of newcomers as well. Through it all, the culture of fun and inclusion while enjoying competitive Pickleball can't be beat. It's also nice to relax with a nice draft or cocktail after at the bar! If you are looking for a place to call Pickleball home, I couldn't recommend better.
