Outdoor Court Feel. Indoor Reliability.
DinkWorks is a private pickleball club with dedicated outdoor-style acrylic courts, indoors, so sun glare, rain, wind, and unpredictable weather are never a factor. Members and guests who register online or are invited by a member get access year-round. Built by local players to grow the game in North Georgia.
Everything you need, nothing you don't
A straightforward facility focused on getting you on the court quickly and reliably.
Two Dedicated Courts
Two full pickleball courts built for the game, not shared or repurposed space.
Outdoor Acrylic Surface
The same outdoor-style acrylic surface and dedicated lines you expect on a real pickleball court.
No Sun Glare
Indoor lighting stays consistent, so glare never affects your read on the ball.
Remote Facility Access
Get into the building for your reservation using secure remote access control.
Court Dividers
Dividers between courts keep each game contained and focused.
Built by Players
Designed by people who actually play pickleball, for the way pickleball is actually played.
Real outdoor-style courts, without the outdoor problems
DinkWorks was designed to keep the parts of outdoor pickleball players love and remove the parts that get in the way of playing.
- Outdoor-style acrylic surface with dedicated pickleball lines, the real thing, not a taped-over gym floor.
- Semi-permanent nets and court dividers keep the setup consistent, reservation after reservation.
- No rain delays, no wind pushing your dinks off course, and no sun glare to squint through.
- Indoor conditions stay steady, so the game feels the same whether you play at 9am or 9pm.

A practical answer to a real problem
Local players in Ellijay kept running into the same issue: not enough reliable places to play, especially when the weather did not cooperate. DinkWorks started as an effort to fix that, a straightforward indoor facility with real outdoor-style courts, built to help grow pickleball in the community.
The goal was never to build something flashy. It was to make it easier for players of every level in North Georgia to get on a court, play, and keep playing.
