Ephesus Pickleball

The courts here are kept up better than most in the Triangle — no cracked surfaces or saggy nets to deal with. Chapel Hill’s pickleball crowd tends to show up ready to play, so you’ll find real competition without anyone being a jerk about it. Grab your paddle and just show up; getting into a game is pretty straightforward. It’s become the go-to spot for adults who take the sport seriously but still want a good time doing it.
