Custom backyard and private pickleball courts designed and built for Scottsdale homes. Courts start at $29,000 for a 54 ft x 28 ft court, with a basic net and 4 paddles included.
Planning a private pickleball court in Scottsdale? Dink Pro Courts designs and builds custom backyard and private pickleball courts across Scottsdale, from North Scottsdale estates to established neighborhoods near Old Town. We handle the full project: site evaluation, layout, a properly built base, drainage, cushioned or hard acrylic surfacing, striping, nets, fencing and lighting. You deal with one experienced team from first sketch to first game.
Courts start at $29,000 for a 54 ft x 28 ft court, with a basic net and 4 paddles included. Financing options are available, so a resort-quality court at home is more attainable than most Scottsdale homeowners expect.
Scottsdale ranks among the most pickleball-crazed places in the country, and public courts fill up fast, especially in the cooler months when everyone wants to play. A court at home means no waitlists, no reservation apps and no hunting for open courts at 6 a.m. You play when you want, with whom you want, and the court becomes the place family and friends gather.
A well-built court also adds a real outdoor amenity to the property. In a market where buyers expect resort-style backyards, a professionally constructed court with clean lines, quality surfacing and good lighting looks like it belongs to the home, not like an afterthought.
Every pickleball court installation in Scottsdale follows the same core steps:
Arizona is hard on outdoor surfaces. Summer surface temperatures run far above air temperature, UV exposure is intense year-round, and monsoon season brings sudden heavy rain. Our Scottsdale courts are designed for that:
Most Scottsdale clients want a dedicated backyard pickleball court, but some families get more use from a multi-sport game court that combines pickleball lines with a basketball hoop or other games. We build both. For details on combined layouts, see our sport and game court construction page or our Scottsdale basketball court construction page.
Already have an old tennis court on the property? Converting it may be the fastest route to great pickleball. Learn about tennis-to-pickleball court conversion.

Want a pool in the same Scottsdale backyard? Our pool & backyard design-build service coordinates a licensed partner pool contractor while Dink builds your court. Just west of Scottsdale, see our Paradise Valley pickleball court installation page.
Ask any contractor how they build the base and handle drainage, which acrylic surface system they use, who does the striping and net install, what the written scope includes, and how they handle HOA submittals. A specialist sport court contractor will answer each of these in detail.
Blow off debris regularly, rinse the surface, keep irrigation spray off the court, and plan to recoat the acrylic surface every several years depending on use and sun exposure. When that time comes, see our Arizona pickleball court resurfacing service.

Scottsdale covers everything from compact lots near Old Town to desert foothills properties in the north. Those differences change how we build:
Compact lots near Old Town and narrow side-yard access in central and south Scottsdale can rule out a full court, but a backyard game court for a small yard can still sit alongside the pool. The Mini Court Game Center starts with a 20×36 post-tension concrete slab that holds a painted pickleball court, a portable basketball hoop, a badminton set and a backyard-size shuffleboard lane. On north Scottsdale desert lots, a smaller slab can also be easier to place inside the area the city’s ESL rules let you disturb. Build your game center: call (480) 493-0031.
Already have a tennis court? A tennis to pickleball conversion in Scottsdale can cost less than a new build if the base is sound. Already have a court? See pickleball court resurfacing in Scottsdale.
The court itself is 20 × 44 feet. For comfortable play, plan on a total area of about 30 × 60 feet. If your yard is smaller, we can review compact layouts during your site evaluation.
Courts start at $29,000 for a 54 ft x 28 ft court, with a basic net and 4 paddles included. Site prep, surface type, fencing and lighting affect the final price, and we provide a site-specific quote. Financing options are on our financing page.
It depends on your community and the features you add, such as fencing or lighting. Many Scottsdale neighborhoods have HOA design guidelines. We prepare the drawings and specs, and you file the HOA application before construction starts.
Yes, when it's built correctly. We grade for drainage, build a compacted base for local soils and use UV-stable acrylic surfacing designed for the desert climate.
Yes. LED court lighting is one of the most popular add-ons in Scottsdale because evenings are often the best time to play.
Often, yes. An existing tennis court can usually be resurfaced and re-striped for pickleball, sometimes with room for several pickleball courts. See our tennis-to-pickleball conversion page.
Look for sport court specialization, a clear written scope, a proven base and drainage approach, and help with HOA approvals.
It depends on permits, HOA review and weather. As a typical range, not a promise, we can usually be pouring concrete within a week, then the slab cures 21 to 28 days depending on weather before we paint. We confirm the schedule with your quote.
Keep it clean, keep irrigation off the surface, and recoat the acrylic every several years.
Yes. On desert lots we place the court inside the allowed building area, keep grading tight and plan for slopes and rock.
We install Dominator lighting products, use shielded fixtures aimed at the court, and confirm the lighting plan with city and HOA requirements before installation.
Either can work. If someone in the house still plays tennis, contrasting pickleball lines and a portable or adjustable net let the court host both games. If tennis is finished, taking out the tennis lines frees the whole footprint for dedicated pickleball, with room for up to four courts. Scottsdale owners who want space between courts often stop at two or three.
