David Lloyd Edinburgh Corstorphine

David Lloyd Edinburgh Corstorphine is part of the David Lloyd Clubs chain - currently the UK’s largest padel operator by volume. The Corstorphine venue sits at 89B Glasgow Road, Edinburgh EH12 8GZ, on a four-hectare estate that combines padel with the chain’s full health-club proposition. Padel access here is members-only, included in the Platinum membership tier, and sits alongside the wider Edinburgh chain offer at David Lloyd Edinburgh Shawfair.

The courts

The Corstorphine padel build runs to multiple outdoor courts with a development plan for up to five total, two of which are covered by canopy structures using polycarbonate roofing on galvanised steel frames for weather protection. Synthetic grass surfaces with anti-injury mesh infill panels and approved padel glass for player safety, plus full LED floodlighting through the booking window for year-round play. Court layout follows David Lloyd’s national padel specification, so the playing feel matches sister venues across the chain.

Booking and access

Padel access is members-only, included in the Platinum membership tier. Bookings are handled through the David Lloyd app, which shows live court availability and allows reservation 24/7 for active members. Members can borrow padel rackets from reception and buy balls on site - useful for newcomers who want to try the sport without buying their own kit. Trial sessions and limited guest access may be available at the club’s discretion - call +44 131 316 2300 or email edinburgh@davidlloyd.co.uk for current options. Open Monday to Friday 06:00 to 22:00 and Saturday/Sunday 07:00 to 21:00. The EH12 8GZ postcode sits on Glasgow Road in the west Edinburgh corridor with extensive on-site parking.

Programme and social

In-house coaching is delivered by LTA-qualified coaches across all levels - from welcome sessions for absolute beginners through to one-to-one and competitive group sessions. Match-play sessions run weekly, plus social mix-ins, fast-track lessons for newcomers and structured progression pathways. The wider club also runs friendly tournaments and league play through the calendar. Coaching is typically included for Platinum members within structured programme bookings, with one-to-one coaching priced as add-ons - confirm current rates with the club direct.

Best for

Edinburgh players who want padel as part of a full multi-sport health-club membership package - indoor and outdoor pools, gym, spa, sauna and steam room, plus indoor and outdoor tennis, badminton, kids’ club and creche, and a clubhouse restaurant and bar all on a single Corstorphine site. Suits families and players who train across multiple sports through the year. Less suited to anyone looking for pay-and-play access - this is members-only.
