Good place to play badminton with friends and new players. Courts are well maintained. Only issue is that a proper system for people to play in rotation isn’t implemented. Instructions are pasted on the wall but no one really reads them, and there is no supervisor/manager to make sure everyone gets a turn to play.
Honestly the place is not bad, but it lacks the proper guidance. I went there to play by myself and like most badminton places its by court reservation so I had to play with someone else and I said that if it was Ok for the people already there for me to join and we all agreed. The first day I was charged 20 dolars for a day pass. The next day I decided to go again. Like I did the day before I had no group of people to go with so it was just me, no court reservation, just day pass. Well now, the second time I am in, I am told at the front to pay $20 again which is okay, but after I played for an hour and a half I was told to pay $24 more because its $12 per court, per hour. Thats aside of the $20 If you are not a member. Btw I was told I had to make this payment after I played. It deffinatelly seemed unfair to me since no one told me anything the day before or at the beggining of the second day. Honestly, like I said, not a bad place but needs more guidance so that people dont get unpleasant surprises like I did. Pd: If you want to become a memeber, you can do it for the jaw dropping price of $995 annually.
Pros: This place has 3 decent quality badminton courts. They charge $15 per head for an entry and one can play as long as they want. Table tennis facility is good and usually available to play. Cons: Its hard to get badminton courts. So make sure you courts are available to play before you pay for entry. All three courts are usually taken up for coaching. Even for a paid entry, you may get only half a court to use, rest is reserved for folks who attend coaching sessions. Coaching happens almost every day. Weekends and late evenings are crowded. No good air-conditioning. Either its too cold in winter or too warm in summers.
Said open 7 days, but door locked and no one there during the opening hours. Drove more than 1 hour to get here. Never answer the phone call and mail box always full.
Not to mention that there is no AC for YOU if there are no kids practicing. They will turn off the light definitely on time no matter whether you finish your games, the reason is they have to leave. They may charge you different prices, normally just raise it:, even if you make the deal before or MAYBE it’s because the boss is not good at math:. They ask for CASH and reject you to use credit card if you just less 2 or 3 dollars. MAYBE they can avoid 1 or 2 dollars tax to buy a bottle of water since there are no fountains, I don’t know it either. Hope everyone who went to the place enjoy how they treat people:. REALLY Make me know the world Well.:
Three courts with rubber mats on concrete floor. Somewhat high clearance. Lighting is not the best but good enough. It doesn’t seem to have AC or heating. Be sure to reserve a court with a group in the evenings or during weekends for no open courts available.
No AC. No badminton courts only three which are full of people all the time. No refill water. …and they charge you $17?!!! I understand that there are few badminton courts in the Boston area, but this should not be the reason of their awful service. Please, DON'T go. It's everyone's responsibility to create a more friendly environment of playing badminton in Boston.
This club sets priority right, which is club members always have top priority. Make sense. After all, it is a private sports club. It is nice for the club to open to public without compromise club members’ interests. Otherwise it would be unfair to club members who paid big money for the annual member fee. Location, location, location. It is in a sports plaza where many other sports facilities are available, including basketball, gymnastics, and fitness center.
I was just there a week ago and seemed like a good place to play badminton with very good lighting and facilities, levels range from beginners to intermediate to low tiered advanced players. There is no formalized court play system to allocate time which was not an issue for me but may be for others. And to the one reviewer Rob V who claimed that middle age first generation players from China inherited the selfish gene, you obviously know nothing about China nor its people to be making such a generalized accusation, your complaint was actually valid until that last statement which made you look like a racist fool.
My favorite place to play badminton. Padded court mats and good lighting. Have table tennis as well with available lessons. Cost is a bit on the high side, $12, but you can play as long as you want.
