Our Story

It all started on a ski lift in early 2024. Kevin, Tyler, and John were skiing in Utah when their usual chairlift banter took a wild turn. “What if we opened a pickleball club?” At first, it was just a joke—one of those wild ideas that gets tossed around at high altitudes. But Tyler, already deep in the pickleball obsession, wasn’t about to let it go. By the time they reached the bottom of the mountain, the idea had snowballed into something real.

Before they knew it, business plans were drafted, markets were researched, and the dream was officially in motion. And just like that, Club 65 was born.

Why Club 65? Because pickleball was created in 1965 as a game for everyone—and that’s exactly what we stand for. We built this club to be a place where anyone can play, connect, and feel at home. Our pricing is simple: the more you play, the more you get—because pickleball should be about fun, not limits.

So here we are, making that lift-chair daydream a reality. Welcome to Club 65—where passion meets play, and everyone’s invited.
