About this court
At the Claire Chapin Epps Family YMCA in Myrtle Beach, SC, pickleball open play is offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:30 to 3:30 PM, with non-members admitted for a $2 fee. One court may be designated for beginning players when demand calls for it, giving newer participants a comfortable entry point. Worth noting: sessions close for roughly six weeks starting mid-March each year, so calling 843-449-9622 before visiting is strongly advised. The facility carries a 3.9-star Google rating across 160 reviews and is listed in good condition. The YMCA's broader amenity set adds value for pickleball players who want more from a single stop. The location features a fitness center, indoor pool, locker rooms, restrooms, childcare, and multi-sport programming—all operating Monday through Friday from 5:00 AM, with reduced Saturday (7:00 AM–3:00 PM) and Sunday (1:00–5:00 PM) hours. Lessons are also available on-site. Visitors mention a friendly, encouraging staff and a community-oriented atmosphere that extends well beyond any single sport or program. The public, pay-to-play access model keeps the facility open to non-members, though some reviewers have noted the location does not participate in nationwide YMCA membership reciprocity—something worth confirming before making the trip from out of town.
