The Heights Racquet & Social Club

Fantastic experience: awesome place. uniquie concept. I started playing padel, and realy enjoy the sport, and the community is great. no complaints.

Fantastic experience: Great space..I was just a observer watching a tournament, enjoyed the experience.

Fantastic experience: Friendly environment to play casual or competitive racquet sports.

Fantastic experience: If I could have dreamed up a place for me to play at, this would have been it! Only thing it’s missing is a cold plunge and matcha tea bar, but now I’m just getting picky! Come over and play your racquet sport of choice, meet some incredible people and feel at home in your own body.

Fantastic experience: Very great people! Nice facilities, and Padel courts in Minnesota!

Fantastic experience: A great place to play a number of different racquet sports. Awesome community of people, a lot of cool people.

Fantastic experience: I have played tennis my whole life. I found something that is even more fun - it's called Padel and the only place you can play in Minnesota is at this Club. Excellent exercise, mentally challenging and just so much fun. Beyond the Padel, there is so much more including pickleball, squash, work-out facilities, saunas, social events galore (poker anyone?) and even work spaces for getting some office stuff done during the day.

Fantastic experience: As a life long squash racquets player this club offers many opportunities to fully engage in the sport. It has three singles court and one doubles court. Being able to reserve courts as far as two weeks out gives assurance of court times when it is compatible with my schedule. There are multiple organized programs for challenging one's self and getting to meet other members -- box leagues; club ladder; club tournaments, etc. I have not played either pickleball or padel but anticipate playing padel in the future. The social scene is also robust without pressure of engaging.

Fantastic experience: Very fun club and community! In the short time I have been playing here, have had a great time! Hope to see the events continue to grow! I play Pickleball, but they also have dedicated Squash and Padel Courts as well as a nice central kitchen/community room. Really enjoy the crazy8’s and the “Luck of the draw” holiday round robin events.

Fantastic experience: I don't live in Minnesota, but visit every holiday season to spend with the in-laws. Each year I looked online to see if there were Padel courts in the area, to no avail. This year, I found the Heights and we couldn't have been happier! The staff helped me and my partner get a membership for the duration of our stay and also made a lot of effort to find us good level games and introduced us to other members. Besides Padel, our preferred sport, there's also pickleball, squash and also a nice gym if you just want to work out. The place is very well kept, always clean and tidy, while also very welcoming thanks to the cool staff and community. Definitely recommend and will be back next year! Special shout out to Alina for all the help!

Fantastic experience: Basically no expense was spared by the owners and their employees. Their solid execution and thoughtful touches make this as close to an “old boys’ club” for racket sports as possible without actually needing one to literally be a 15th generation elite to even get in the door. The prices are reasonable, frankly, especially compared to Life Time! If, like us, you basically only used Life Time for their racket sports amenities, this is a wayyy better deal. The pickleball courts are all very, very well built and thoughtfully designed, with extremely high quality surfaces (like, the first or second-best surfaces money can buy, a vital consideration that Life Time doesn’t even take into account), plenty of space on all sides, good nets, tall netting partitions, even lighting, good ventilation, it’s all just.. GOOD. There are intraclub leagues, beginner clinics and social mixers (and they’re a DUPR club, if you wish to record your matches), you can reserve courts freely and easily — they even have a legit laundry service, where you can just leave your sweaty workout clothes at the club and they’ll be washed and ready to go for you when you show up next time! There’re lounges and private spaces to work from, really nice workout equipment and lots of racket sport-specific training tools like a ball machine, cones, targets, mini-nets, etc. that you can just borrow for free if you want to enhance your drilling. Most of my thoughts about The Heights are centered around my experiences on the pickleball side of things, as I don’t really play squash or padel, so I can’t speak with true authority on how those amenities are rated relative to other places’. They seem just as nice if not even nicer than the pickleball courts, though, which is saying a lot, and I really appreciate that the option to play them is there if you’d like to try, though! I really wish they had a tennis court or two, but i can understand not wanting to compete with Fred Wells, Baseline, Life Time, etc. and instead just being the undisputed leaders in the niches they’ve identified and pursued. If they ever did do tennis, though, I bet they would have the nicest court(s) implementation in the city! I could see badminton taking off here, too, but tennis first, please! Hahah. What I like best about The Heights is their approach to running a racket sports club: the owners and staff truly seem to understand that for discerning customers, Quality is King! If you want a truly top-tier pickleball facility, this is it, and it has Life Time Bloomington North beat by miles. Here’s to hoping that one day this is the undisputed Racket Sports Mecca of Minnesota!

Fantastic experience: Awesome venue!

Fantastic experience: The heights is a great place to be. The community is really friendly and inviting. I love playing pickleball, padel and squash. Great community all around.

Fantastic experience: Joined last week and have been nearly every day since. Club improving by the day with a 2nd padel court just opening, they're building out co-working/office space, nice gym set-up too. Amazing spot for padel, squash and pickleballers alike.

Fantastic experience: We were lucky enough to visit the club during our trip and experienced really fantastic facilities - pool, table tennis, squash and more, with brand new bathrooms and courts alongside them. I honestly couldn't imagine a better place to spend an afternoon.

Fantastic experience: Great place to play squash, padel and pickleball! So great to have this club in the South Metro!

Fantastic experience: A magical playground for anyone into racquet sports. Inviting atmosphere, professional grade courts, and a nice workout area. Don’t forget the sauna! This is a great place to expand your community and meet a lot of great people and players.

Fantastic experience: For my interests, it’s a very nice pickleball facility and the padel is very intriguing. The setting is friendly and comfortable. It’s no stretch to also think of this place as a social club. I will eventually try playing squash here as the courts look fantastic. Locker rooms and weights/exercise amenities are well-executed.

Fantastic experience: It’s spectacular. Two weeks in and it’s hospitable, humming, very well imagined and equipped. Just walking in there is exciting.

Fantastic experience: An amazing place to play Pickleball. So excited that there's more places to play indoors this winter. The surfaces are amazing, also looking forward to playing Padel and Squash.
