Book the court. Lose the afternoon.

Padel is a racquet sport played in doubles on an enclosed glass and metal court — roughly a third the size of a tennis court. The walls are in play, which makes rallies longer, tactics richer, and the whole thing genuinely addictive.

It's the perfect social sport. You can't play it alone. You can't play it silently. And you almost certainly can't play it without smiling. Beginners pick it up in a session. Experienced players find new layers for years.

Over 25 million people play padel worldwide. It's the fastest-growing sport in Australia — and Padelground is bringing it to the Sunshine Coast.

Built for the pros. Forgiving of the rest of us.

Seven super-panoramic courts, built to World Padel Tour spec. Good enough for the people who play for a living. Easy enough for the people playing for the first time.

Super-Panoramic Courts

All seven courts are super-panoramic — full glass walls on all sides, giving maximum visibility and the most open feel of any court design. Engineered in Spain to elite competition standard.

Spanish Engineering

Our courts are built to the same specification used in World Padel Tour venues. The glass, the turf, the lighting — all designed for performance.

Competition Lighting

Australia's only court perimeter lighting system on every court. No shadows, no overhead glare. 7am or 9pm, the conditions are always perfectly the same.

Pro Shop On-Site

Racquet hire, balls, apparel and accessories — all available at the club. No need to bring anything except yourself.

Serve underarm

The serve is always underarm, hit below waist height, diagonally into the opponent's service box. The ball must bounce before hitting the back wall.

Walls are in play

After the ball bounces on your side, you can play it off the walls — including your own back and side walls. This is what makes padel unique and rallies so much longer.

Scoring like tennis

Points are scored 15, 30, 40, game — identical to tennis. Sets are first to 6 games (with a tiebreak at 6-6). Matches are typically best of 3 sets.

Ball must bounce first

You can only play the ball off a wall after it has bounced on the ground. You can't volley directly into the wall — the ball must hit the floor first.

Out through the fence

If the ball exits the court through the metal fence openings (at the corners), it's still in play and can be retrieved — one of the most spectacular moments in padel.

Always doubles

Padel is always played in doubles — four players per court. This is fundamental to the sport's social character. Singles is not played in padel.
