The Members-Only Problem: How Much UK Padel Can You Actually Book?

Three ways a club decides who plays

• Pay & play. Download the app, book, play. 213 clubs, 892 courts.
• Members book first. Anyone can book, but members see the diary first. 41 clubs, 167 courts.
• Members only. No membership, no game. 40 clubs, 121 courts.

The booking-window gap

Where a club publishes both windows, members can book on average 7 days earlier than the public. At busy clubs that is the difference between a 7pm court and a 3pm one. The longest gaps we have found are at Harrogate Spa Tennis Centre, Wakefield Sports & Padel Club, Hazlemere Tennis & Padel Club.

Which kinds of venue let you in?

School, college or universitys are the most open (100% bookable by non-members); health club or gyms the least (7%).

How we worked this out

Every club in these figures has been checked at its own website or booking listing: address, number of courts, whether they are indoor, covered or outdoor, who can book, and any prices the club publishes. Prices are converted to one comparable number, the cost per player for a 90-minute game with four players sharing the court, using the club's cheapest non-member rate for "off-peak" and its dearest regular rate for "peak". Member-only prices are left out of the averages.

Coverage. We have verified 327 clubs and 1,265 courts so far. The LTA counted 1,825 courts at 551 venues in May 2026, so our figures cover roughly 59% of venues and grow every time we add more. Treat shares and medians as a strong sample rather than a census until coverage is complete; the page recalculates itself on every update.
