Las Colinas Golf & Country Club officially inaugurated its new pickleball courts last Saturday, July 19, at the Racquet Club located in Orihuela Costa, with a well-attended free open house event. Pickleball, a sport that has become hugely popular in the United States, is gaining momentum in Spain thanks to its accessibility for all ages, ease of learning, fun nature, and low physical impact. This initiative is a pioneering one in the Vega Baja region, which reflects the resort’s ongoing commitment to promoting a healthy, exclusive lifestyle and staying at the forefront of innovation. The new courts are open to the public with prior reservation. For newcomers, the Racquet Club offers free introductory sessions to help people discover and enjoy this growing sport. “Pickleball is an incredibly easy and healthy sport that also encourages social interaction, whether played one-on-one or in doubles.” said Alfonso Castiñeira, Director of Golf and Accommodations at Las Colinas Golf & Country Club. “The decision to expand our padel and tennis facilities to include this new sport was a pioneering step in the region, and we’re proud to lead the way. We’ve only just begun, but interest has been high and the response extremely positive.” he added. The Racquet Club now features three tennis courts, two padel courts, and four pickleball courts.
