America’s fastest-growing sport now has its own national day, Aug. 8. To celebrate, here are seven hotels and resorts in stunning destinations where guests can play pickleball.
An iconic and storied property with deep roots on Mackinac Island in Northern Michigan, Grand Hotel celebrates its 137th anniversary this year. Last year, the property unveiled a new multimillion-dollar recreational facility, The Woodlands Activity Center, home to a greenhouse, mini golf, lawn games, pickleball courts and more.
