55+ gated RV & golf resort; the resort's own website confirms on-site lighted pickleball courts as a guest amenity. Third-party listings claim 4 (soon 6) courts, but the resort's own pages don't publish a count, so left unconfirmed.
Our picks from the pickleball buying guides — chosen editorially, never by the venue and never by spend.
