How Many Square Feet Is a Pickleball Court? – Highlands Turf & Landscapes

Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports, offering fun, social, low-impact play for all ages. If you're planning a backyard pickleball court in Northwest Arkansas, Southwest Missouri, Eastern Oklahoma, or the Ozarks—where families love year-round outdoor recreation—understanding the space needed is key. At Highlands Turf & Landscapes, our primary focus is premium VersaCourt tile courts: modular, high-performance systems that deliver exceptional bounce, shock absorption, and durability without the drawbacks of concrete or turf-only surfaces.

As an authorized VersaCourt dealer, we install and service pickleball courts, multi-sport setups, and more across Bentonville, Rogers, Bella Vista, Fayetteville, Springdale, Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Springfield, Joplin, Branson, Kimberling City, and surrounding communities in Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma. While we also offer artificial turf courts for certain applications, VersaCourt tiles are our go-to for superior playability, comfort, and customization.

Standard Pickleball Court Dimensions & Square Footage

A regulation pickleball court, per official USA Pickleball guidelines, measures 20 feet wide by 44 feet long, totaling 880 square feet for the playing surface. This supports singles/doubles with proper room for rallies, the non-volley "kitchen," and quick movements.

For safe, enjoyable backyard or residential play, include clearance buffers:

  • Minimum recommended total space: 30 feet wide by 60 feet long = 1,800 square feet (5+ feet sides, 7–10+ feet ends for safety and movement).
  • Preferred/ideal VersaCourt setup: 34 feet wide by 64 feet long ≈ 2,176 square feet (10+ feet buffers for tournament-like feel and multi-use flexibility).
  • Backyard options: In space-constrained NWA yards (Benton/Washington Counties), we create compact or shared multi-sport game courts—many start at 1,000–1,500 sq ft for family-friendly fun.

VersaCourt's modular tiles install easily over prepared bases (concrete recommended for max bounce), allowing flexible sizing tailored to your property. We evaluate during a free consultation.

Why Choose VersaCourt Tile Courts for Your Pickleball Setup?

VersaCourt outperforms traditional hard courts and turf in key ways, especially for pickleball:

  • Shock-absorbing suspended surface reduces joint strain—easier on knees and feet than concrete or asphalt.
  • Consistent, high-performing ball bounce (via PlayRight™ technology) for true response and reliable play.
  • Excellent traction and grip, even in humid Ozarks conditions or light rain (flow-through design stays dry).
  • Low maintenance: Sweep, hose, or blow off debris—no cracking, fading, or resurfacing needed.
  • Up to 50% cooler than hard surfaces for comfortable summer games in Fayetteville or Rogers.
  • Durable, UV-stable tiles last years; customizable with lines, colors, accessories, and multi-sport add-ons (basketball, volleyball, shuffleboard, bocce).
  • Modular and portable-friendly—great for events or future changes; integrates seamlessly with landscape designs or turf fringes.

Our VersaCourt installations include site prep, interlocking tile assembly, line marking, net systems, and finishing—typically 3–6 days with a 3-year installation warranty and service contract (initial monthly, then biannual maintenance like cleaning/rolling). Free 3D renderings help visualize your custom court upfront.

Elevate your space into a true entertainment hub with VersaCourt:
