Here is where each venue is, when peak starts and what the rules are.

Pickleball has taken off in Kota Kinabalu this year. A town that had a handful of courts in converted halls now has at least ten venues with online booking, from a 20-hour package at a seafront hotel to warehouse courts in the Kolombong industrial area. The newest, The Good Club in Tanjung Aru, opened in late September with nine courts.

What's on this list: eight venues with their pickleball rates read on 11 November 2026. Two take bookings on their own websites, The Good Club and Pickle Collective. The other six publish their full rate cards on PlaySportsTogether, the AFA booking platform most KK venues use, and we read each card there. Prices are per court per hour, not per player. "Peak" means something different at almost every venue, so we give the exact hours.

Nobody paid to be on this list. The venue cards come first, then a comparison table, what four friends really pay, and the booking rules that catch people out.

The Good Club (Jalan Mat Salleh, Tanjung Aru)

KK's newest and largest dedicated club, with nine pickleball courts plus a padel court, open 7am to midnight daily. Its own pricing page splits courts into indoor and outdoor. Indoor courts are RM55 an hour on weekdays from 7am to 5pm and RM65 from 5pm, and RM65 all day at weekends and on public holidays. Outdoor courts are RM40 off-peak and RM55 at peak, on the same hours. Booking is on The Good Club's own website. Run by RYAH Group Sdn Bhd.

Pickle Collective (The Pacific Sutera Hotel, Sutera Harbour)

Five courts at The Pacific Sutera Hotel, including a Seaview Covered Court, with hourly slots from 7am to 11pm. On its booking grid a weekday 8am slot on Court 1 cost RM45, and late-evening slots cost RM65. The better deal for regulars is the Early Access Package: 20 credits for 7am to 2pm slots at RM35 an hour, or RM700 in all. Coaching and private events are offered too. Confirmed bookings cannot be cancelled or rescheduled unless weather affects play. Run by Above The Net Sdn Bhd; book on its own website.

Replay Karamunsing (Kompleks Karamunsing)

A city-centre pickleball club in Kompleks Karamunsing with two court grades. Standard courts are RM45 an hour on weekdays from 7am to 4pm and RM65 after 4pm; tournament courts are RM45 and RM75 on the same split. At weekends and on public holidays, standard courts are RM65 and tournament courts RM75 all day. Bookings from 4pm need at least two hours. Paddles rent for RM5 an hour and balls are free, which helps if you are bringing friends who have never played.

Pickle World KK (Lorong Tomato, Kolombong)

The best weekend-morning price in town. Its VIP court is RM30 an hour from 8am to 3pm every day, weekends included, then RM58 from 3pm to midnight. A training court is RM25 before 3pm and RM35 after, and half a training court costs RM40 for two hours, which suits drills for two. Weekday bookings from 6pm to 10pm need at least two hours. The booking page places it at the Perodua service centre on Lorong Tomato, Kolombong. Bookings are not refundable.

ii Sports Centre (Jalan Kilang, Kolombong)

A large multi-sport hall with 15 badminton courts, basketball and seven pickleball courts. Courts P1 to P6 are RM30 an hour on weekdays from 7am to 6pm and RM50 from 6pm to midnight, and RM50 all day at weekends and on public holidays. Court P7 costs RM40 and RM60. All prices exclude 6% SST, so a RM50 hour is RM53. Weekday bookings from 6pm to 10pm need two hours. Hse 35, Lot 27, Jalan Kilang, Kolombong.

Nexxo Pickle Club (Asia City)

The cheapest rate card we found in KK, and the simplest: RM25 an hour from 7am to 5pm and RM45 from 5pm to midnight, the same on every day of the week. That makes it the only venue on this list where a Saturday morning costs the same as a Tuesday morning. It is in Asia City in the city centre. Nexxo publishes only its logo, not court photos, so check the court surface and lighting on Google Maps reviews before booking a long session.

APT Pickleball Court (Jalan Teluk Likas)

Eight courts on Jalan Teluk Likas, handy for Likas and Sepanggar. Weekdays from 7am to 5pm are RM40 an hour on any court. From 5pm and all day at weekends and on public holidays, courts 1 to 5 cost RM60 and courts 6 to 8 cost RM68. A ball machine can be added for RM40 on weekday daytimes and RM60 otherwise, but it does not include a court, so book the court first.

What four friends really pay

Pickleball is usually played as doubles, so the fair way to compare is two hours on one court split four ways.

Tuesday, 8pm to 10pm: Nexxo costs RM90 (RM22.50 each). Pickle World's VIP court is RM116 (RM29 each). ii Sports is RM100 plus SST, so RM106 (RM26.50 each). Infinity is RM140 (RM35 each), and Replay's tournament court is RM150 (RM37.50 each).
Saturday, 8am to 10am: Pickle World's VIP court is RM60 (RM15 each), and Nexxo is RM50 (RM12.50 each), since both keep their morning rate at weekends. Infinity charges its full RM70 an hour, so the same two hours cost RM140.
Weekday mornings as a regular: Pickle Collective's 20-credit Early Access Package works out at RM35 an hour, and Pickle World's half training court is RM40 for two hours if you only need to drill.

Shoes and paddles add up too. Replay rents paddles at RM5 an hour with free balls, and Infinity charges RM10 a paddle. Prices for other venues' rentals were not published.

When "peak" starts

This is where most people overpay. Pickle World's evening rate starts at 3pm, Replay's at 4pm, The Good Club, APT and Nexxo at 5pm, and Infinity and ii Sports at 6pm. If you can play straight after work at 5pm, Infinity and ii Sports still charge the daytime rate for your first hour.

Booking rules that catch people out

No refunds: Infinity, Pickle World and Pickle Collective say plainly that bookings are non-refundable. Infinity allows a reschedule if you ask before your slot; Pickle Collective treats cancellations within 48 hours as late and keeps the credits.
Two-hour minimums: Replay from 4pm, and Pickle World and ii Sports on weekday evenings, will not take a one-hour booking.
Tax: ii Sports is the only venue here that quotes prices before 6% SST.

Also worth knowing

Borneo Pickle Haus in the Sedco industrial area of Kolombong charges RM45 an hour on weekdays from 6am to 5pm and RM65 after that and at weekends. Several more halls list pickleball on the same booking platform, so it is worth searching by area if you live in Penampang or Putatan.

How to pick

For the cheapest regular game, Nexxo and Pickle World's morning VIP rate are hard to beat. For a better court and facilities after work, The Good Club and Infinity are the two big modern halls. For a special session with sea views, Pickle Collective at Sutera Harbour is the one to try, ideally on its morning package.

*Rates were read from each venue's own website (The Good Club, Pickle Collective) or its rate card on PlaySportsTogether on 11 November 2026. They change often, so check the booking page before you pay.*
