About Essendon Padel Club

The courts
Three outdoor panoramic courts on synthetic grass within the Essendon Country Club estate. Floodlit through evening play. Open-top, weather-dependent. Opened 2024.
Booking and access
Court hire £30 to £50 an hour through Playtomic. Pay-and-play; country-club members have additional access privileges and reduced rates. Free private parking via the country club entrance. Closest stations: Welwyn Garden City (rail) and Welham Green (rail), both around a 10-minute drive. Realistically arrive by car given the rural setting.
Programme and social
The Essendon Country Club setting brings the wider golf and clubhouse calendar alongside the padel courts, with full hospitality on site. Beginner intros, group lessons and 1-on-1 sessions through the in-house coaching programme. Group bookings, parties and corporate events handled directly through the venue.
Best for
Hatfield, Welwyn Garden City, Brookmans Park and the wider Hertfordshire commuter belt who want country-club outdoor padel without joining the wider Essendon Country Club membership, plus members combining padel with golf or other on-site facilities. Less suited to anyone reliant on public transport.
