About UQ Sport Tennis Centre
The UQ Sport Tennis Centre sits on Blair Drive at St Lucia, on the banks of the Brisbane River, and includes two dedicated pickleball courts alongside 21 tennis courts. The courts are outdoors in a pleasant campus setting. A pro shop stocks most equipment and handles paddle hire at a flat $6 fee. The onsite Saint Lucy Caffe e Cucina is a good spot to recover after a hit.
Pickleball court hire is priced by UQ affiliation. Current students pay $17 per hour off-peak and $20 per hour at peak times. UQ staff and alumni pay $19 off-peak and $22 at peak. Off-peak applies on weekdays before 5pm and Sundays before 2pm. Non-affiliated pricing is not listed but is likely higher; check the UQ Sport website for current rates.
Bookings are essential and made online through a My Account profile on the UQ Sport site. The centre is open from 7am Monday to Saturday and 8am Sunday, closing at 9pm most days and 10pm on Thursdays. Coaching programs run year-round for all experience levels.

Read some reviews before using their coaching service and it's a shame there were some not so good experiences at times. Personally I was quietly very impressed with the booking service. There was a late change with who coached me for an…

Great courts, and pro shop. I've taken a couple of adult coaching classes and the experience has been good. Good facilities. Main negative is that the change room is gross!

Great courts! Well-kept and almost always available when booking a day in advance. Shop also offers most accessories. Find it to be quite pricy. Unfortunately, the UQ Team was not very welcoming to new players.
