Border Padel Co.

Border Padel Co. is an indoor padel venue at Cliftonhill Farm, Kelso TD5 7QE, UK, in the Scottish Borders. It has one indoor panoramic court, booked on Playtomic, and it is open from 8am to 10pm every day of the week.

With just one court, Border Padel Co. is a small, local padel hub. Each group books the whole court for its own game, and the club fits coaching, junior sessions and Cardio Padel around the open booking hours.

Players get free racket use, wifi and parking right next to the padel hub, so a first visit needs little more than suitable trainers. Rackets can also be bought from the club and picked up from the Border Padel Co. clubhouse.

The courts

The one court at Border Padel Co. is indoor, a double court with panoramic glass. Because it sits under a roof, games go ahead through rain and wind, which counts for a lot in the Scottish Borders through autumn and winter.

Opening hours are the same all week: 8am to 10pm, Monday to Sunday. That leaves room for early games before work and late games after it, and weekends run the full day as well.

A panoramic court keeps the view of play open from outside the glass, which suits friends watching a match or a coach following a rally. For players, it gives a clean, bright playing box.

Free racket use takes the kit question away for newcomers and visiting friends. Players who would rather own a racket can order one through the club and collect it from the clubhouse on their next visit.

As there is no second court to fall back on, the evening and weekend slots are worth booking ahead. Groups of four who like a fixed weekly game will find the single court easy to plan around.

Booking and access in Kelso

Courts at Border Padel Co. are booked on Playtomic in slots of 60, 90 or 120 minutes. The booking page shows live availability for the court, and the same Playtomic page carries the coaching sessions in the club’s Academy.

Off-peak, Monday to Friday 8am to 4pm: £24 for 60 minutes, £36 for 90 minutes and £48 for 120 minutes. An off-peak hour works out at £6 per person for a group of four, against £24 per court.

Peak, Monday to Friday 4pm to 10pm: £36 for 60 minutes, £54 for 90 minutes and £72 for 120 minutes. Weekends, Saturday and Sunday 8am to 10pm, cost the same: £36 for 60 minutes, £54 for 90 minutes and £72 for 120 minutes.

A peak hour costs from £36 per court, which is £9 each when four players split it. Weekday daytime is the cheapest time to play, so flexible groups can save by booking before 4pm.

Parking is next to the padel hub, and there is wifi on site. For questions before a visit, the club answers at info@borderpadelco.com, and private coaching can be arranged by Instagram or email.

Padel programme and social

Coaching at Border Padel Co. runs through the Academy on the club’s Playtomic page. The sessions cover beginners coaching, intermediate coaching and ‘You three and me’ match play with the coach, and private coaching is arranged by Instagram or email.

Beginners coaching teaches the basics to new or new-ish players, making it the natural intro session for anyone picking up a racket for the first time. The beginner’s guide to padel in the UK is useful reading before that first session.

Junior coaching sessions run for two age groups, ages 7 to 11 and 11 to 15. That gives children and teenagers in Kelso a coached route into the sport on an indoor court.

Cardio Padel combines fitness and padel drills and runs in collaboration with KD Fit. It suits players who want a proper workout as much as a match, and it is a sociable way to meet other local players on court.

Border Padel Co. is best for players in Kelso and across the Scottish Borders who want an indoor court close to home, with free racket use and parking beside the hub. The court at Border Padel Co. is open from 8am to 10pm every day.
