Providenciales Pickleball
Pickleball is becoming increasingly popular with visitors and residents of the Turks and Caicos as a fun, social, and relatively low-stake land sport. This activity combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis, and is played outdoors here.
Pickleball can be played as either doubles or singles and the rules are relatively simple, which makes it an easy game for beginners of all ages to learn.
Many Turks and Caicos resorts and luxury villas have hard courts that guests can use freely for pickleball or tennis matches. For those staying elsewhere, access to pickleball courts can also be arranged for reasonable rates at the Royal Turks and Caicos Golf Club and Graceway Sports Center.

Pickleball Courts
Hard courts are a common amenity at most large resorts on Providenciales, such as Seven Stars Resort & Spa, Ocean Club Resort, West Bay Club, and Amanyara. Most hard courts in the Turks and Caicos are tennis courts that can be used for pickleball, rather than dedicated pickleball courts, though there are exceptions—Beaches Turks & Caicos has eight dedicated pickleball courts, while Club Med Turkoise has an impressive 10.
Your front desk concierge will typically book the court on your behalf and provide you with the necessary equipment. If you don't have access to a pickleball court at your hotel or rental house, you can reserve a court at one of several sports complexes on the island.
The Royal Turks and Caicos Golf Club has two floodlit hard courts that rent for $30 per hour (2026 price) and a pro shop where you can rent or purchase paddles and balls. This is a convenient location to play for guests staying in Leeward or Grace Bay.
There's also the Graceway Sports Center. Pickleball court rentals here are $30 per hour, or $65 per month (which may make sense if you plan to play more than twice during your trip).
Court Reservations
It's best to reserve your court well in advance at both complexes. Slots for the early morning or late evening, when the sun and heat are less intense, are popular and can fill up quickly.
Pickleball Equipment
Most of the resorts have paddles and pickleballs that guests can use free of charge. At the sports complexes, equipment is usually available for rent for a small fee.
While there are a few stores that sell athletic clothing, shoes, and sports equipment, high customs duties and import costs make prices on the island much higher than what you would usually expect. It's best to bring whatever athletic clothing you need with you to avoid purchasing it at a premium.
Availability varies, but Building Materials Do It Center and the pro shop at the Royal Turks and Caicos Golf Club both sell paddles and balls. Note that the pickleball equipment available here is limited compared to what you would typically find elsewhere.
Clubs and Competitions
Providing the unique opportunity to play pickleball in paradise, a number of pickleball organizations have hosted pickleball tournaments, retreats, and vacations in the Turks and Caicos in recent years.
Local competitions are occasionally organized as well. See Turks and Caicos Events for upcoming sporting events.
