Easy to learn and inexpensive to play, pickleball has been gaining serious momentum in the United States in recent years — sweeping the nation to the point where it can now officially be called a sporting craze. And of course, its predecessor and sporting cousin tennis is still as popular as ever … and it’s similarly simple to learn and approachable for players on a budget.
And for those vacationing in the Myrtle Beach area and looking to play either sport, opportunities (and facilities) abound. Consider these four great places to play pickleball and tennis within 5 miles of Ocean Reef Resort on the Myrtle Beach oceanfront:
