Pickleball has become one of Malibu’s most beloved pastimes, a sport that perfectly embodies the coastal lifestyle where wellness, leisure, and community meet. Whether it’s a sunrise rally overlooking the Pacific or an evening match under the golden glow of the hills, Malibu offers the most scenic and exclusive pickleball experiences in California.
Beyond the game, pickleball has become a reflection of Malibu’s luxury lifestyle. It is active, social, and closely tied to nature. Many high-end communities and private estates now include personal courts in their designs, giving residents a way to stay active and connected without leaving home.
Where to Play in Malibu
One of the most popular local spots is Malibu High School, where the City of Malibu hosts its Adult Open Court Pickleball program. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, ideal for meeting other residents while enjoying the ocean air. With two well-maintained courts available on a first-come, first-served basis, it’s a great place for players of all levels to get started.
Just up the road, Pepperdine University has converted several tennis courts into ocean-view pickleball spaces. Locals, students, and alumni gather here, blending Malibu’s academic and athletic spirit in a stunning setting where every match comes with a view.
For those seeking exclusivity, Malibu Racquet Club and Calamigos Ranch’s Ranch Club offer the ultimate upscale pickleball experience. The Racquet Club provides a serene, private setting where fitness meets refinement, while Calamigos Ranch blends the sport with wellness and leisure. Guests can play a morning game, unwind at the spa, or enjoy a glass of wine overlooking the vineyards. It is Malibu living at its finest.
Nearby communities such as Calabasas, Santa Monica, and Westlake Village expand the options even further, with dedicated pickleball centers, professional clinics, and organized tournaments for those who enjoy structured play. The Calabasas Pickleball Club and Santa Monica Pickleball Center are particularly notable for their luxury amenities and vibrant social scene.
