Padel is the fastest-growing racquet sport in Singapore, with more than 25 clubs and 70-odd courts on the island and a fresh wave that opened in 2026 alone. The problem for a first-timer is that court rates swing wildly: the same 60 minutes costs $30 at a mini court in Bedok, $40 at lunchtime on an open-air court at one-north, and $108 on a fully air-conditioned court at the Expo. We put 8 of Singapore's most bookable padel clubs side by side with their real peak and off-peak rates: Padel X's aircon courts at the Expo, Prime Padel's 7-court Dempsey site, Ricochet's Sentosa, Laguna and Orchard clubs plus a fourth that opened at Clarke Quay on 9 October, Pickle Padel Movement's pink-and-purple sheltered courts at Woodleigh, Love All's social-enterprise courts at West Coast, The Sports Arina's new Jalan Kayu hub, The Padel Co's midnight-close Changi courts and Play! Padel's $30 mini court. The beginner Intro sessions at each are included, because you cannot just turn up and rally like it is tennis. One thing almost nobody spells out: those cheap daytime rates are weekday rates, and most clubs here charge peak all day at weekends, with Ricochet and the padel co. One North the only exceptions. Every rate below was re-checked against each club's own site or live Playtomic booking screen on 10 November 2026.
Padel is Singapore's fastest-growing racquet sport, and the same 60 minutes costs $30 or $108 depending purely on where you book it.
> Quick view: cheapest full doubles court is the padel co. One North at $40/hr (weekday 1pm-3pm starts); cheapest of any kind is Play! Padel Bedok's mini court at $30/hr. Best in the heat: Padel X, the island's largest fully air-conditioned club, $78-$108/hr. The catch: you rent the whole court, not a seat, and almost every cheap rate here is a weekday rate.
What you actually pay
You rent the whole court, not a seat, so four players split whatever is on the screen. Every price in this section is a weekday price:
- Cheapest overall: Play! Padel Bedok's sheltered mini court at $30/hr off-peak.
- Cheapest full doubles court: the padel co. One North, whose sliding rate bottoms out at $40/hr for starts between 1pm and 3pm. Next cheapest is Play! Padel Jurong Gateway at $44/hr non-peak, then Love All Sports at a flat $50/hr.
- Cheapest with real shelter: The Sports Arina @ Jalan Kayu, $50/hr non-peak ($40 for verified residents), and The Padel Co Changi, $50/hr for any start up to 5pm.
- Most expensive, and worth it in the heat: Padel X, $78-$108/hr, the largest fully air-conditioned club in Singapore. Its smaller Expo neighbour TSA @ EXPO (Hall 10) has 3 aircon padel courts from $60/hr on weekdays, but cools them only 11am-9pm.
Split four ways, even a $104 peak hour is $26 a head, about the price of a spin class.
The weekend surcharge nobody mentions
Most clubs in this guide charge their peak rate all day on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. At most of them there is no weekend off-peak window, so the numbers above simply do not exist from Friday evening onwards.
| Club | Cheapest weekday hour | Cheapest Sunday hour |
|---|
| Love All Sports | $50 | $90 |
| the padel co. One North | $40 | $66 (early afternoon) |
| The Padel Co Changi | $50 | $70 |
| The Sports Arina @ Jalan Kayu | $50 | $90 |
| Pickle Padel Movement | $75 | $95 |
| Play! Padel Bedok (doubles) | $60 | $80 |
| Padel X | $78 | $108 |
| Prime Padel | $62 | $104 |
| Ricochet Padel | $78.20 | $78.20 (12noon-4pm only) |
Love All Sports takes the hardest hit in percentage terms, going from a flat $50 midweek to $90 an hour at the weekend. The two exceptions worth knowing: Ricochet keeps its 12noon-4pm off-peak window at $78.20 seven days a week, weekends included, and Play! Padel Bedok's mini court stays at $40 an hour, which makes it the cheapest weekend court of any kind in this guide.
Off-peak is the single biggest saving
Nearly every club charges 30-50% less before 4pm or 5pm on weekdays, and several have a shoulder tier in between that nobody advertises. The same Padel X court is $78 at 4pm, $93 at 4.30pm and $108 at 5pm; The Sports Arina goes $50, $70, $90 across the same ninety minutes; Pickle Padel Movement goes $75, $85, $95; The Padel Co Changi goes $50, $60, $70; and Play! Padel Bedok's doubles court is $60 to a 5pm start, $70 at 5.30pm and $80 after that. Starting an hour earlier is often a bigger saving than switching clubs.
The narrowest off-peak window belongs to Prime Padel, and it is worth spelling out: its $62 rate applies Monday to Thursday, 11am to 4pm only. Friday is charged at the full $104 all day, as are weekends and public holidays.
The 90-minute trap
Several clubs sell evening slots as 90-minute blocks ($138 at Ricochet, $142.50 at Pickle Padel Movement, $156 at Prime Padel, $162 at Padel X), so the figure on screen is not the hourly rate.
Love All Sports used to be the odd one out: in October its two-hour evening blocks from 4pm and 4.30pm cost less than its 90-minute block from 5pm. That quirk is gone. On every weekday we checked in November, its Playtomic slots stopped at a 5.30pm start and were priced strictly pro rata ($50 an hour, $75 for 90 minutes, $100 for two hours), with evenings sold only in the Love All app. It is still worth pricing the longer block before the shorter one at any club, because some clubs shave a little off a two-hour booking.
Indoor, sheltered or open-air?
- Fully indoor and air-conditioned: only Padel X at the Expo (aircon from 10.45am).
- Sheltered (roof, no walls, no rain): Pickle Padel Movement (Woodleigh), The Sports Arina (Jalan Kayu, with big ceiling fans), Play! Padel Bedok, and two of three courts at Ricochet Sentosa.
- Open-air: Love All, Prime Padel, The Padel Co, and most other clubs. Excellent early morning or after dark, punishing at 2pm.

Leagues and tournaments you can enter
You do not need to be a club regular to play competitively. Prime Padel runs the Prime League, whose first group stage ran 7 September to 30 October 2026 across Dempsey and Grand Copthorne, with the finals set for early or mid November (date still to be confirmed), with six divisions including two women's divisions; entry was $185 a player for four guaranteed matches, $150 for the finals, and Prime Plus members saved $15 on the group stage and $10 on the finals. Registration for season one closed on 28 August 2026, so the next entry point is season two, but the schedule, six divisions and match format are still published on Prime's league page.
For something lower-commitment, Padel X runs Americano-format tournaments most weeks: its Silver (solid intermediates) and Gold (3.5-4.5+) Americanos and the women-only Queens Ladder were all listed at $50 on 26 October 2026, with a Bronze (1.5-2.5) Americano at $40, and you enter solo and are matched into a game. Ricochet, Prime Padel and Padel X also run open play sessions if you simply cannot find three friends.
Before your first game
- Book a coached Intro session first. Padel X charges $58, Pickle Padel Movement $56 ($50.40 members), and Prime Padel's trial group lesson is $90 a head for 90 minutes, starting from two people. Ninety minutes with a coach teaches you the underarm serve, the back wall and court position. Without it, four beginners mostly chase balls.
- Wear court shoes, not running shoes. Padel is played on sand-dressed artificial turf; a herringbone or all-court sole stops you sliding out.
- Racquet rental is about $10. Ricochet charges $10/hr or $15 for 90 minutes; most clubs are similar.
- Book peak evenings a week ahead. Off-peak daytime slots are usually available same-day.
- Check the rain policy at open-air clubs before you pay. Most will let you reschedule a washed-out booking.
- Do not assume the weekend price matches the one you were quoted. Most clubs here charge peak all day at weekends, and at Love All that is the difference between $50 and $90 an hour.
