Court Details

About this court

Located at 115 Crahen Avenue Northeast in Grand Rapids, MI, MVP Athletic Club is a membership-based pickleball destination that carries a 4.7 Google rating across 250 reviews. The facility features dedicated courts kept in good condition and supports a range of play formats — open play, court rental, league play, and lessons — giving players at various commitment levels a path to get on the court. Access runs seven days a week, with early weekday hours beginning at 5:00 AM and weekend availability starting at 7:00 AM on Saturday and 8:00 AM on Sunday. Beyond pickleball, the club functions as a full multi-sport facility with a fitness center, pool, locker rooms, and restrooms, and it carries a kid-friendly designation — details that visitors frequently highlight when describing the community atmosphere. Players note that the staff engagement contributes to a welcoming environment, and reviewers describe a sense of community among members. The facility has been recognized as a solid spot for athletes maintaining training routines throughout the week. Prospective pickleball members in Grand Rapids should be aware of a few nuances flagged in reviews: open play times are relatively limited, and structured programs such as group lessons and ladder leagues involve costs above the standard membership fee. Reviewers also mention that connecting with beginner-level players during open play can be a challenge, as sessions tend to attract more advanced participants. A pay-to-play structure applies, and no pickleball-only membership tier is currently offered, making it best suited for players who intend to use the broader facilities alongside court time.
