Pompano Beach, Florida – As reported by the South Florida Business Journal, Neal Feinberg, managing member of Florida Indoor Tennis LLC and president of Florida Indoor Racquet Club, officially applied on Oct. 4 to renovate a former Pompano Beach golf course into an indoor tennis and pickleball facility. The proposed facility would be the first of its kind in South Florida. The request includes a redevelopment plan for the 5-acre site formerly belonging to the Palm Aire golf course. Feinberg purchased the land for $2.78 million in 2022 as part of a vision to bring pickleball and tennis together without having to endure the brutal Florida heat.
“The money [for the project] is raised,” Feinberg told the South Florida Business Journal. “As soon as we get site plan approval, we will break ground.” With tennis and pickleball being popular sports in Florida, the idea of indoor courts for both is an innovative concept meant to provide year-round access to comfortable playing environments. Feinberg later continued, “The rain is a big factor and extreme heat is a big factor … The sun is dangerous for many people and they’d rather play out of the sun.”
The proposed facility would consist of an indoor playing facility and a two-story clubhouse resembling the traditional style of a country club. Within the clubhouse, members will have access to various amenities, including locker rooms, showers, comfortable lounges, and dining options. With the entire facility measuring 57,646 square feet, it will be able to accommodate the various needs of all future members. The playing area would hold six to eight tennis courts and six pickleball courts, allowing players to reserve time slots for either activity of their choice. The flexibility of this layout welcomes players of all levels to join and participate.
Membership fees follow a tiered structure ranging from $50,000 to $250,000. Those of higher tiers receive benefits such as guaranteed court time.
