Pro Insights from Playing in Dallas

Alex Neumann
Alex Neumann
PPA Tour Pro & Founder

Dallas-Fort Worth is one of the fastest-growing pickleball markets in the country. In fact, every year Dallas hosts the PPA Tour Nationals at Brookhaven Country Club. I've competed in the area multiple times, and what I notice every time I'm there is how much the wind and dryness affects your play. Courts built without proper wind protection are bound for days of wild, wind-controlled pickleball. The other thing that stands out is how much demand there is in the suburbs — Frisco, Plano, McKinney, Southlake — where homeowners have the space and are investing in their properties.

Build Considerations

Dallas Pickleball Court Design, Materials, and Climate Considerations

As a professional pickleball player, I've spent years competing on courts across the country, and that experience directly shapes how we design and build pickleball courts in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. I've played on incredible courts and poorly constructed ones, and the difference almost always comes down to planning and details — court orientation, surface quality, spacing around the court, and how the court fits into the surrounding property. Across Dallas, Frisco, Plano, and the broader DFW metroplex, more homeowners are adding backyard pickleball courts as a way to create a fun and social space for family and friends. When designed correctly, a private court often becomes one of the most used spaces on the property.

  • Clay-Heavy SoilClay-heavy soil throughout North Texas expands when it absorbs moisture and contracts during dry periods. Proper sub-base compaction and slab engineering are critical to prevent surface cracking over time.
  • Summer Heat & UVDFW summers are intense. Professional surface coatings must perform well in Texas heat while maintaining consistent ball bounce and long-term durability without premature fading.
  • Heavy ThunderstormsThe DFW area experiences intense summer thunderstorms. Courts must be graded for fast water runoff to prevent standing water from damaging the sport surface.
  • WindCourts built without proper wind protection can make for unpredictable play in the open DFW landscape. Fencing and orientation both factor into the design.
