Padel Courts on Long Island: Where to Play in 2026
Padel Courts on Long Island: Where to Play in 2026
Nassau and Suffolk finally have real padel. Here is every court on the Island, what it costs, and what is being built next.
Long Island spent the first wave of America's padel boom watching from the sidelines. While Brooklyn and Manhattan stacked up courts, anyone in Nassau or Suffolk who wanted to play was driving into the city — or waiting for summer in the Hamptons. That is over. As of August 2026 there are four padel venues on the Island proper, two of them bookable by anyone, plus a four-court pop-up in a Nassau County park that has quietly become the sport's front door out here.
Here is every place to play padel on Long Island right now, what each one actually offers, and what is being built next.
Padel on Long Island in 2026
The Island's padel map splits cleanly in two.
The pay-to-play side is small but serious: seven indoor courts total, split between Padel& Syosset in Nassau County and Paddles Up Pickleball & Padel in Suffolk. Both are climate-controlled, both run leagues and clinics, and both take bookings from non-members. That is the entire public inventory for a region of nearly three million people, which is why peak evening slots go fast.
The private side is where padel actually arrived first. Gold Coast and South Shore country clubs added single courts as racquet amenities next to tennis, pickleball and golf. You cannot book these without a membership or a member host, but they are the reason the sport got a foothold here at all.
Public & Pay-to-Play Clubs
These are the two places on Long Island where you can book a padel court without knowing a member.
Padel& Syosset
Padel& Syosset is the largest dedicated padel facility on Long Island and the clearest signal the sport has landed here for good. It is the Padel& network's second New York club after Greenpoint, tucked into the light-industrial stretch of Eileen Way just off the Long Island Expressway — the unglamorous warehouse box that has become padel's default American habitat.
Inside are four panoramic courts under 25-foot ceilings, a pro shop, and newly built locker rooms with a sauna and cold plunge. Doors open at 7:00 AM and do not close until 11:30 PM, seven days a week, which matters more than it sounds: the after-work Syosset crowd is the busiest block of the week, and those late slots are the pressure valve.
The player mix skews toward Manhattan commuters who picked the sport up in the city and no longer have to drive back for it, plus a steady stream of tennis converts from the surrounding country-club belt. If you are new, book into open play or a clinic before you reserve a court cold — the programming calendar is the fastest way into the local rotation. We covered the club's arrival in more detail in our Padel& Syosset launch story.

Paddles Up Pickleball & Padel
Paddles Up holds a genuine first: its three professional courts in East Setauket were the first public padel courts on Long Island, giving Suffolk County players an option that did not involve the LIE.
It is a hybrid house — the padel courts share a climate-controlled building with ten pickleball courts, full locker rooms with showers, and a gym — and the mix turns out to be a feature rather than a compromise. A meaningful share of Long Island's newest padel players walked in for pickleball and got pulled onto a padel court by someone who had already switched.
The courts sit under 28-foot ceilings, the highest on the Island. That is not trivia: low ceilings kill the lob, and the lob is half of padel's tactical game. Bookings run through CourtReserve, and court rentals, open play, leagues, tournaments, clinics and pro lessons all come off the same calendar. A perfect 5.0 Google rating across its opening stretch suggests the operation is landing.

Private Country Clubs with Padel
Long Island's country clubs got to padel before its commercial operators did — the same pattern that played out in Fairfield County and Palm Beach. Two clubs have courts on the ground today. Both are single outdoor courts, and both are strictly members and guests.
Pine Hollow Club
Pine Hollow sits on Route 25A in East Norwich, in the heart of the old Gold Coast, and is credited with the first padel court on Long Island. The court is one piece of a deep racquet program: seven Har-Tru tennis courts, three pickleball courts, and an 18-hole championship golf course on a property with real history behind it.
One caveat worth stating plainly. The club's racquet amenities have been caught up in an ongoing permitting dispute with the Town of Oyster Bay, and their long-term status is not settled. If padel is part of why you are looking at Pine Hollow, ask the club directly about current court availability before you commit to anything.
Courts: 1 | Type: Outdoor
The Seawane Club
Seawane was the first private Long Island club to commit to padel, announcing a court for the 2022 season — early enough that most of its members had never seen the sport played. The Hewlett Harbor club pairs it with seven tennis courts, two pickleball courts, basketball, a pool, and 18 holes of golf, one of the most complete racquet-and-recreation footprints on the South Shore.
A single court means padel here is a social amenity rather than a program — expect member round-robins and family doubles rather than a competitive ladder. For South Shore families already weighing a club membership, though, it is the only one that comes with a padel court attached.

Where Long Island Padel Is Heading
The most consequential thing happening in Long Island padel right now does not have a permanent building yet.
Roslyn Padel opened a four-court outdoor pop-up inside the former skating rink at Christopher Morley Park, at 500 Searingtown Rd N in Roslyn, at the end of June 2026. It is a placeholder with a purpose: the operator is building a 40,000-square-foot permanent indoor club on an adjacent site, targeted for fall 2027, and the pop-up exists to put a racket in Nassau County hands in the meantime. The outdoor courts are expected to run through mid-October, weather permitting, and may return next summer while construction continues. It is not listed in our club directory yet, so check the club's own site for hours and booking.
Count those four courts and Long Island's bookable inventory is eleven this summer against roughly zero three years ago. The permanent Roslyn club should push it meaningfully higher in 2027.
The arc here is the same one Brooklyn ran three years ago: a first mover proves demand, country clubs follow, then commercial operators build the volume. Long Island is somewhere in the middle of that curve.
Just Off the Island — Brooklyn, Queens & the Hamptons
If you live in western Nassau, the closest good padel might technically not be on Long Island at all.
Padel& Greenpoint in Brooklyn is Syosset's sister club and the bigger of the two: six indoor courts under 36-foot ceilings, booked through Playtomic. Brisas at Cityview puts courts in Queens, a reasonable reverse commute from the Nassau line.
East, the Hamptons run a full summer padel season — Brisas East Hampton, Hampton Racquet and The Racquet Lounge Southampton among them — though most of it is seasonal, outdoor, and priced accordingly.
For full breakdowns, see our guides to Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Hamptons, and New York State.
What It Costs & How to Book
Neither of Long Island's public clubs publishes a flat rate card, so treat these as ranges rather than quotes. Across the New York metro, padel court rentals generally run $40–$80 per hour for the whole court at peak times, with off-peak slots lower. Split four ways, that is roughly $10–$20 per player per hour — competitive with indoor tennis and cheaper than most people expect going in.
Three things reliably save money: weekday daytime slots are the single biggest discount lever, open play and clinic sessions cost less per hour than a private court booking, and most clubs sell packages or memberships that cut the per-session rate if you are playing weekly.
To book:
- Padel& Syosset — reserve through the Padel& Syosset site, and check the programming calendar for open play and clinics before you book a full court.
- Paddles Up — CourtReserve handles rentals, open play, leagues and lessons. Phone bookings on (631) 675-0482.
- Pine Hollow and The Seawane Club — membership or a member host only. Call the club.
You do not need your own racket to start. Both public clubs run beginner sessions where gear is provided or rentable; confirm when you book. When you are ready to buy, Racket Central carries the round-shape beginner frames worth starting on — hold off on diamond-shaped power rackets until your technique catches up.
You can check availability across every listed club on the New York courts page.
