Charleston's First Padel Social Club!
Now OPEN!
The social, fast-paced racket sport that's taking the world by storm. Easy to learn, endlessly social. Now OPEN at Trophy Lakes, Johns Island!
What is Padel?
Padel is a high-energy racket sport played in doubles on an enclosed glass court - think tennis meets squash. Easy to learn, impossible to master, and incredibly social. If you can hit a tennis ball, you can play padel.
- Played with a racket, net, and ball.
- Doubles format play.
- Accessible to all ages.
- Walls keep the ball in play.
- Fast, exciting rallies.
- Non-stop excitement.
- Easy to learn.
- Endlessly social.
- The perfect combination.
Here's why padel is taking over: the enclosed court means less chasing and more playing. The doubles format means you're never alone on the court. And the learning curve is gentle enough that you'll have real rallies your first time out—no six-week lesson series required. It's the most fun you can have with a racket in your hand.
Why The Point?
Padel gets the club it deserves in Charleston. Not just courts, but a true social hub where the sport comes alive through community, competition, and connection.
We're building something different at Trophy Lakes: a waterfront destination where weekly tournaments, social events, and professional instruction meet the kind of welcoming atmosphere that makes strangers into doubles partners. Whether you're brand new to padel or looking for your new home court, this is where Charleston's padel community gathers.
Now OPEN!
