In Johor Bahru, a new kind of love match is sweeping the city (beside matcha pilates and labubu raves). It doesn’t involve candlelight dinners or awkward small talk. It’s called pickleball.
Once a niche sport tucked away in suburban backyards, pickleball has now paddled its way into mainstream Malaysia, and JB is embracing it with open arms. If you’re new to the trend and wondering why everyone is so into pickling balls all of a sudden (just like me months ago), I got you.
It’s essentially a combination of tennis, badminton, and table tennis into one unique paddle sport. This fast-paced, addictively social game is attracting everyone from former athletes to brunch-loving besties in yoga pants.
But with courts popping up faster than you can say “Dink!”, where’s a player to go?
We scoured the city to find the best pickleball courts in Johor Bahru, covering everything from indoor to outdoor spots. Bookings mostly can be made via the AFA App or Courtsite website!
