January 25, 20268 min read

One of the first questions every padel club investor asks: "How much does a court cost?" The answer depends on where you're building, whether it's indoor or outdoor, and what quality level you're targeting.

Court Structure Cost

The court structure is your biggest single expense. Here's what to expect by manufacturer:

Price varies by model type:

  • Standard — Basic structure, mesh sides. Lowest cost.
  • Semi-Panoramic — Glass on sides, mesh on back. Mid-range.
  • Full Panoramic — Glass all around. Premium look. Highest cost.

    • Turf and Sand

    FIP-approved turf is non-negotiable for serious clubs. Mondo is the industry standard:

  • Mondo NSF Shot XN — $12-$15 per sqm. Premium performance.
  • Mondo Supercourt XN — $10-$13 per sqm. Great all-rounder.
  • Mondo Monofibre STX — $8-$11 per sqm. Budget-friendly FIP option.

    • A standard padel court is 200 sqm, so turf costs $1,600-$3,000 per court. Add $500-$800 for silica sand infill.

    Lighting

    LED systems compliant with EN 12193 standards:

  • Budget: $2,000-$3,000 per court (basic LED flood)
  • Standard: $3,000-$4,500 per court (uniform coverage, dimmable)
  • Premium: $4,500-$6,000 per court (smart controls, tournament-grade)

    • Concrete Foundation

    Every court needs a level concrete slab:

  • Standard slab: $5,000-$10,000 per court
  • With drainage: $8,000-$15,000 per court (essential for outdoor)

    • Total Per-Court Cost
