Book a padel court in Los Angeles
Last updated :
Los Angeles came to padel later than the East Coast, and it shows. The city's boom kicked off in 2023, driven by celebrity endorsements, tennis-facility conversions, and a Westside entertainment crowd that took up the sport as much for networking as for exercise. With 20-25 dedicated venues in 2026, LA's footprint is smaller than NYC or Miami, but demand is concentrated and Westside prime-time slots stay competitive.
This page covers the main LA venues currently on Playtomic, typical booking windows, observed pricing, and how Padel Snipe captures the Beverly Hills and Santa Monica slots that disappear quickly.
Why LA padel is different from NYC and Miami
Three structural differences shape the LA market. First, geography: LA is sprawling, and a 30-minute drive can separate venues that compete for the same player. Second, demographics: padel adoption is concentrated on the Westside (Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, West Hollywood, Pacific Palisades) and among tech and entertainment professionals. Third, climate: LA's year-round mild weather supports more outdoor padel than other US cities.
Result: prime-time saturation concentrates in a handful of Westside venues. Beverly Hills and Santa Monica weekday evenings 6pm-9pm and Saturday mornings 8am-12pm see slots disappear within minutes. Eastside, San Fernando Valley, and Orange County venues remain easier to book.
The main LA padel venues
Padel Up Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills flagship with multiple indoor courts and outdoor options. Premium pricing, lounge area, racket rental. Caters to entertainment industry professionals and Beverly Hills locals. Especially busy weekday early mornings (before-work crowd) and weekend mornings.
Pricing observed: $100-140/court/hour. Booking window typically D-7.
Reserve Padel Santa Monica
Santa Monica venue serving Westside professionals and beach-area locals. Modern facility with indoor courts, ocean breeze, walkable from Third Street Promenade. Strong weekend morning demand.
Pricing: $90-120/court/hour. Booking window typically D-7.
West Hollywood Padel
West Hollywood location, social club atmosphere, trendier crowd. Multiple indoor courts, pro shop, café. Friday and Saturday evenings see significant demand from the local social scene.
Pricing: $85-115/court/hour. Booking window typically D-7.
Pacific Palisades Padel
Outdoor-focused venue in Pacific Palisades with ocean-view courts. Mild marine layer fog in early mornings rarely cancels play. Premium pricing reflects the location and outdoor experience.
Pricing: $95-130/court/hour. Booking window typically D-7.
Eastside, Valley, and Orange County options
Several venues in Pasadena, Studio City, the San Fernando Valley, and Orange County (Newport Beach, Irvine) serve the broader LA metro. Pricing tends to be 30-50% lower than the Westside, with significantly easier weekend availability. Worth a 30-minute drive if your schedule and traffic allow.
How Padel Snipe captures the best LA slots
Padel Snipe monitors the booking window opening for each Playtomic-connected LA club and fires the booking request faster than any human can click. For a Padel Up Beverly Hills slot Saturday at 9am or a Reserve Padel Santa Monica slot Tuesday at 7pm, that's the difference between catching the court and losing it to another bot or a faster-fingered player.
For less saturated venues in the Valley, Pasadena, or Orange County, the manual edge matters less. Aim Padel Snipe at the prime-time Westside slots where the seconds count.
LA padel pricing in 2026: Westside premium
LA pricing reflects two markets: a Westside premium ($90-140/court/hour) driven by real estate and demographics, and a more accessible periphery ($60-100/court/hour). Split among four players, that's $15-35 per person per hour. For comparison, see NYC padel ($20-37/person) or Miami padel ($15-30/person). LA's outdoor climate makes it unique among major US padel markets. If you want to play under the sun year-round, LA delivers what NYC and Miami can't.
Frequently asked questions
Is padel really growing in Los Angeles?
Yes, but at a slower pace than NYC or Miami. LA started its padel boom in 2023, with celebrity-driven media coverage (Jared Leto, several actors and athletes have publicly endorsed the sport) and conversions of tennis facilities. The city has roughly 20-25 padel venues in 2026, concentrated in Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, West Hollywood, and Pacific Palisades. Demand is strongest among the entertainment industry crowd and tech professionals on the Westside.
Are LA padel clubs on Playtomic?
Most major LA venues use Playtomic, including Padel Up Beverly Hills, Reserve Padel Santa Monica, and several Westside clubs. A few private clubs run member-only systems that aren't compatible with Padel Snipe. The built-in club search only surfaces Playtomic-connected venues.
How much does padel cost in Los Angeles?
LA pricing trends premium: $80-140 per court per hour at Westside venues, $60-100 at venues outside Beverly Hills/Santa Monica. The Westside premium reflects real estate costs and the demographics. Split among four players, that's $15-35 per person per hour.
When are LA padel slots most competitive?
LA's mild climate keeps demand consistent year-round, but the prime-time concentration is similar to other US cities: weekday evenings 6pm-9pm, Saturday-Sunday mornings 8am-12pm. Westside venues (Beverly Hills, Santa Monica) saturate fastest. Mid-day weekday availability is wide across nearly all venues.
Are there outdoor padel courts in LA?
Yes. LA's mild climate supports more outdoor padel than NYC or Miami. Several venues in Pacific Palisades and Malibu offer ocean-view outdoor courts. Marine layer (morning fog) can affect early sessions but rarely cancels play. Many premium clubs combine outdoor and indoor courts.
