Excellent question!

Takes longer due to clearing courts to do the work, travel, setup, cleanup, etc.

No windscreens is an improvement, especially for the summer when winds are 0-3 in the morning and its already 80 with 95% humidity. The wind dries the courts faster, increases evaporation of sweat, and reduces the fogging of glasses.

If the wind bothers your play, there is always shuffleboard, golf, etc.

100% of the players in both organization are Villagers, so you are basically complaining about one group of residents using the courts instead of another group of residents. Neither group uses that many facilities on any given day so there are still tons of courts available for other groups. Remember that open play is generally only dawn-10AM unless the courts aren't permitted for another use.

Agree 100%. They don't have to do it at every rec center. Half would be enough.

Good luck getting the powers in charge to evaluate the use of the tennis vs PB courts.

Maybe, but still poor planning IMO. No reason to have the screens down more than a day or two.

Sorry, no. There is plenty of air movement to dry wet courts when the windscreens are up, and the sun does more of the work than the wind. When it's hot it's hot. Windscreens improve the ability to play 100% of the time.

If that is a serious comment, IDK what to say. Maybe they should take down the fences, too, and if you don't like chasing balls, just go play shuffleboard instead. SMH/eyeroll

Better idea put kitchen line down on platform tennis courts that are HARDLY ever used. Nice caged in area don’t have to chase the ball. And yes they are same 20 by 44 courts.

The main difference is the players which those organization run off the courts (literally) are the local owners. Those organization keep increasingly are taking up more court time. At a minimum, they need to back off how much court time they take away from owners.

You are too realistic and asking way too much from the villages. 😜😂

What a joke!
 

Yes, the powers that be have been contacted directly. There have been no less than 7 different answers for why the windscreens were removed before the new ones were available! Same thing re courts that don’t get maintained south of 44, with nets in tatters.

Windscreens and nets are being replaced where they are not needed because they are in good condition BUT the lifestyle tours visit those locations so of course THOSE need to be pristine! Isn’t the rec department supposed to be working for us, the residents?? (I know, I’m being naive!)

The most logical theory I've heard is replacement is under warranty due to some sort of specification/installation issue.

Court nets at Riverbend that have been held together for over a year with tywraps were recently replaced now that Lifestyle visitors are using those courts.

In the meantime, nearby, complete, perfectly useable courts at San Tropez remain locked for months waiting for the rec center to complete.

Those organizations are Villages residents run by volunteers. PCVG offers many instructional and organized play opportunities.

Pickleball Community Volunteer Group

Any resident can put together a group and reserve courts for play.

Is that you bogieshooter?

Lowers the value of the surrounding real estate. Do you live next to those noisy things?
