A combination of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong...pickleball is America’s fastest-growing sport. Recognizing its growth and popularity – particularly in areas like South Florida, where the game can be enjoyed year-round in both singles and doubles play – PGA Village Verano is home to the largest private pickleball complex in South Florida, featuring 27 courts including a championship court, event lawn, and players’ pavilion.

Challenge Court Play means any PGA Village Verano resident may “challenge” players by stating their intention to play on that court when the match currently in progress ends.

To participate, register to the courts booked as "Intermediate/Challenge Court" or "Advanced/Challenge Court".

A “challenge” means, that a pair of players of similar skill level as the group of four currently playing individuals, gives notice to play the winners of the current game. Notice is given both verbal and by hanging 2 paddles on the fence. Once the challenge has been given and accepted, no other pair may challenge into the same court.

Once the current game has ended, there are two options:

1. If the challenging pair wishes to stay together as a team, they will play against the team that won the previous game.
2. Alternatively, the winning team will split and the challengers will split to match up with the original players.

Players getting together on the court should agree as to which option they prefer.

With either option, winners must vacate the court after they have completed two games. This arrangement will prevent one team from continuously occupying a court.

The Challenge Court is PLAYER MANAGED. An environment of courtesy, fun, exercise, challenge, and demonstration of skills are the aims of the Challenge Court.
