DOWNLOAD THE FORT APP
Download the Fort Club app to seamlessly manage your pickleball experience with ease. From booking courts and scheduling lessons to reserving spots in clinics and managing your reservations, our app keeps everything at your fingertips. You can even shop, order drinks courtside, and enjoy a streamlined experience right from your device. Prefer not to use the app? No worries—everything can also be done online, or you can always reach out to our concierge team for personalized assistance.
The FORT currently offers three membership options, ranging from a Social Membership plan to Unlimited Peak and Off-Peak plans. We also welcome Day Pass Walk-In play for those who prefer a more flexible option.
Skill-Based Reserved Play at The Fort allows you to book court time up to 2 weeks in advance, specifically for players with similar skill levels. This system ensures balanced and competitive matches by pairing you with others of comparable ability. You can reserve a time slot with up to 5 friends or join new players at the same skill level. It’s a great way to enjoy games with familiar faces or meet new ones, all while keeping the competition fair. Max 6 players per court.
We call our covered courts "indoor" because they are enclosed on 3 sides and recessed far enough from the open side to ensure no rain or sun ever hinders play.
Our "indoor" courts have a pitched roof where the area above the net is 28' high. If your lob hits the roof, pat yourself on the back and replay the point . If you hit the roof on purpose, house rules call that an out ball. Nice try! ;-)
Our membership plans have options for 7 and 14 day advance booking windows.
We offer 10% off for First Responders, Active or Retired Military, and Fort Lauderdale residents.
We’ve teamed up with Playsight to stream all 43 courts live, so you can replay those close calls, share your highlight-worthy shots, or laugh over those unexpected body bags. Download, save, and share your moments. Plus, The Fort offers video review sessions with our coaching staff, giving you the expert feedback you need to take your game to the next level.
