One of the most striking places we have ever put a paddle down.

Black Desert Resort sits where a black lava flow meets red sandstone cliffs, twenty minutes from Snow Canyon and an easy drive from Zion. It is new, it is dramatic, and it has quietly become one of the most serious pickleball venues in the country. Five days here with Callie and Jay means mornings on the court, afternoons on the golf course or in the spa, and evenings watching the rock turn orange from the pool deck.

The Courts

21 courts, and a stadium

Built in partnership with the Professional Pickleball Association, the complex runs to 21 courts with a championship court seating a thousand. You will not be waiting for a court, and you will not be playing anywhere ordinary.
