Algonquin Pickleball Facility To Open In November

ALGONQUIN, IL — A pickleball facility with a full-service restaurant is set to open in coming weeks in Algonquin.

Pickle Haus will open its 41,000-square-foot entertainment venue and eatery on Nov. 17 at 1621 Randall Road, according to a news release from Pickle Haus. The facility will have 12 indoor pickleball courts with a restaurant, bar, two golf simulators, private event space and an outdoor dining patio.

"At Pickle Haüs, we are intentionally creating a community where people can actively socialize and enjoy playing pickleball," said Pickle Haüs co-founder Jeff VanDixhorn. "We're also backed by a strong network of partners who will provide best-in-class resources, equipment and services to enhance the Pickle Haüs experience."

The development of Pickle Haüs is a testament to the explosive growth of pickleball across the nation, according to Pickle Haus officials.

Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the United States, with 85 percent player growth in 2022 and more than 36 million players nationally.

"Pickle Haüs fills a much-needed space for local pickleball. The development of a high-end facility like Pickle Haüs, and the enthusiasm we're hearing from local players, is a testament to the explosive growth of the sport," said Seymour Rifkind, founder of the International Pickleball Teaching Professional Association and 2023 inductee to the Pickleball Hall of Fame. "High-level competitors from across Chicago plan to be regulars at Pickle Haüs indoor courts this winter. We're looking forward to seeing how Pickle Haüs will continue to fuel local and regional interest in pickleball."
