Padel at Boar's Head Resort
Coming Late Spring 2025
Padel, pronounced (puh-DEL) in the US and (PAD-dul) in other countries, is a racquet sport that originated in Mexico. Padel is a hybrid of other racquet sports; racquets are solid, and the balls are slightly softer than tennis balls. The court is smaller and surrounded by walls that can be played off, similar to squash.
Boar’s Head will have three padel courts for members and guests to enjoy. Court time will be complimentary for members and $45/hour for resort guests.
Court hours of operation will mirror The Sports Club.
Reservations
Court reservations can be made by logging on to Club Automation or via the mobile app. Additionally, members or guests can call or stop by the Front Desk to make a reservation.
Court Fees
Court time will be complimentary for members through June 30. Beginning July 1, the court fee is $32 per hour.
The court fee for resort guests is $45 per hour.
Playing Padel
Padel is played in a doubles format, though singles can be played recreationally. Teams score when the ball bounces twice on the opponent’s court, strikes an opponent or hits a fixture before going over the net on an opponent’s volley.
Like tennis, padel is played in sets. To win, an individual or team must win three sets. Winning a set requires winning six games with a two-game advantage over your opponent. If neither side is up by two games, a tiebreaker is played to determine the winner of the set.
