Where to Play Padel in the West

‍

A few years ago, padel in the West Midlands was little more than an experiment — a borrowed tennis court here, a few curious players there. Today, it’s one of the most exciting regional scenes in the UK. Across Birmingham, Worcestershire, Warwickshire, and Herefordshire, the sport has found its rhythm — from slick indoor warehouses to leafy village clubs that feel like they’ve hosted padel forever.

‍

It starts, at the center of the scene, in Birmingham.
Core Padel sits at the heart of it all — six indoor courts (five doubles, one singles) packed from dawn until midnight. It’s a great hub: coffee at the café, a quick browse through the pro shop, and the steady echo of rallies that never really stop. Parking’s easy, coaching’s frequent, and whether you’re a league regular or a total beginner, it’s the kind of place that pulls you in.

‍

Not far away, Padel Inn in Great Bridge has the same open-door energy. Three indoor, climate-controlled courts, free parking, and simple pay-as-you-play booking — no membership required. It’s relaxed and reliable, built for people who just want to play without the fuss. There’s a lounge area that keeps players hanging around after games, and a small but loyal crowd that’s helped turn it into a Midlands favourite.

‍

A few miles down the road, Connect Padel UK at Moseley Rugby Club blurs the line between indoor and outdoor with four panoramic courts under canopies. You can feel the community-first attitude everywhere: affordable pricing, friendly staff, and over a thousand free hours each year donated to schools and charities. On a good day, you’ll catch a mix of league players, beginners, and kids’ sessions all happening at once — proof that access doesn’t mean compromise.

‍

Head west and the scenery changes.
Barnt Green Sports Club added three floodlit courts in 2024, surrounded by trees and village calm. Prices stay low for members, and Thursday socials are a staple. Saturday sessions often roll into drinks at the clubhouse, and parking’s plentiful just off Margesson Drive. The setup’s simple, but that’s the charm — it’s where new players tend to fall in love with the game.

‍

Further north, Corte Sport at The Hayes brings a social buzz with style. Three panoramic outdoor courts sit next to a hospitality space that feels half café, half garden terrace. Coaching runs year-round — from intro sessions to tactical programmes — and their Americanos and weekend tournaments pull in players from across the county. It’s friendly, a little competitive, and always full of energy.

‍

Kenilworth Tennis, Squash & Croquet Club found a perfect balance between tradition and open access. Two floodlit outdoor courts have become the backbone of a growing padel community. Weekly mix-ins are packed, the leagues are light-hearted, and post-match chats spill out into the clubhouse. Parking’s easy, prices are low, and it’s a great bridge for anyone crossing over from tennis or squash.

‍

Over in Solihull, Arden Club adds a more premium feel. Three astroturf courts framed by trees, twelve internal leagues running year-round, and a full clubhouse with changing rooms, bar, and showers. It’s busy but structured — the sort of place where you book your slot weeks in advance and everyone knows which league they’re in.

‍

Drive further afield and you hit Club Padel at Branston Golf & Country Club — three panoramic, LED-lit outdoor courts with terrace seating and a restaurant just steps away. The design is pure resort style, but it still feels local. On weekends, families watch from the balcony while matches stretch into the evening.

‍

Keep going west and the scene turns quieter but no less dedicated. Hereford Squash, Tennis & Racketball Centre runs two covered courts that let play continue through the rain. It’s low-key, friendly, and full of players who picked up padel after years in other racquet sports. The bar opens after evening sessions, and parking’s free on-site.

‍

Back in Birmingham, something entirely different is taking shape at Padel Haus — a rooftop court at Fort Dunlop, open to the elements and overlooking the city skyline. There’s only one court now, but three more are planned. For now, it’s a one-of-a-kind experience: benches, picnic tables, and a breeze that makes every lob feel higher.

‍

Then there’s Edgbaston Priory Club, the region’s most exclusive racquets venue. It’s running a six-month padel pilot with one court open only to members, but the early signs are strong — free intro sessions, lively demand, and a growing waitlist for coaching.

‍

And just as the map fills up, there’s more coming: Sandwell Padel at Tipton Sports Academy, with three new indoor courts, and Powerleague Birmingham, where football and padel now share the same floodlights. It’s that blend — mainstream meets specialist — that shows just how deeply the sport has taken root.

‍

Every club brings its own personality. Some thrive on structure, others on spontaneity; some are social-first, others competition-heavy. But what ties the region together is the energy — the sense that no matter where you live, there’s a court, a coffee, and a crowd waiting for you.
