Worldham Golf & Padel

Worldham Golf & Padel has 3 outdoor padel courts at Cakers La, Alton GU34 3BF, UK, with court hire from £28 for 60 minutes on Playtomic. All three courts are floodlit with glass walls, and two of them have a canopy.

The padel courts at Worldham Golf & Padel sit within a parkland golf club, built in 1992 on the border of the South Downs National Park. As well as golf and padel, the club runs a driving range with simulators, crazy golf and pickleball.

The padel courts

Worldham Golf & Padel has 3 padel courts, all of them outdoor: Padel 1, Padel 2 and Padel 3, with a canopy over Padel 2 and Padel 3. The canopies give cover overhead, but these remain outdoor courts rather than an indoor hall.

Every court is floodlit, so evening games run comfortably through the darker months, and all three have glass walls for proper padel rebounds. Racket hire is available online when you book, which helps anyone arriving without their own kit.

Off court, the clubhouse is open to players before and after a game. It has a small café serving hot and cold drinks with snacks, and a bar open Monday to Sunday. There is also a changing room, free parking and WiFi on site.
