Pickleball Passport

Do you love pickleball so much that you really only want to use the pickleball courts at DAC? Consider getting the Pickleball Passport!

Pickleball Passport Guidelines:

  • You will have non-member status at DAC.
  • You can reserve pickleball courts only.
  • Upon entering DAC, you must already have a pickleball court reservation or make a reservation at the front desk.
  • You cannot use the tennis courts, fitness center, basketball court, hot tubs, or pool.
  • You will be allowed free weekday non-primetime court usage, free weekend court usage, and free summer court usage.
  • 25% off permanent court time.
  • Applicable fees apply for primetime hours.
  • The fee is $49 per month.
  • You must commit to four months. After that, the passport converts to a month-to-month at the prevailing rate and can be cancelled at any time.
  • The monthly fee is paid via an ACH bank account for automatic withdrawal.
  • If you do not want to provide ACH information, then you can purchase the passport in four month increments for $196 when paying with cash or a personal check. If you want to pay with a credit card, add a $10 convenience fee.
