How we rank these courts
Pickleball Plus listings are community-maintained — players add and update each court directly in the app. To rank the best courts in San Diego, CA, we apply a Bayesian weighted average to community and public review data: each court's average rating is balanced against how many reviews it has, so a handful of five-star reviews can't outrank a court that stays highly rated across hundreds. Only courts with at least 5 reviews are eligible to be ranked, and the list refreshes as new reviews come in.
