Who’s New

Let’s Go Pickleball
Pickleball, y’all! Let’s Go Pickleball, LLC,
is coming to Fayette County. The new
53,000 square-foot building will be located
at 101 Moba Drive, Suite A, in Peachtree
City. Groundbreaking was October 2024,
and the grand opening of the state-of-the-
art indoor facility is anticipated late July or
early August.
“We are thrilled to be in Fayette, with so
many pickleball players in the area,” said
Chase Mason, general manager of the
Peachtree City location. “We’re excited to
give people a home club where they can
play all the time.”
Mason, who plays at a pro level, shared
that although pickleball has been around
since the mid 1960s, it took decades for
the sport to become mainstream. He said
the advent of tournaments in 2016 helped
grow the public’s interest and, curiously,
the sport was propelled to even greater
popularity during the 2020 pandemic
when bored folks were seeking an activity.
“It’s a combination of tennis, table
tennis, and badminton,” he explained. “It’s
played with a paddle, not a racket.”
Already the location is the official home
of the PTC-Fayette Pickleball Club. With
more than 700 members, it’s the largest
group of its kind in Georgia. Mason said
he looks forward to hosting corporate
gatherings as the new facility will have
event space, a viewing mezzanine, seating
areas, and more.
Different membership levels will be
available, including a family plan. Let’s Go
Pickleball, LLC will also teach 101 and 102
pickleball classes.
“Anybody at any age can play,” Mason
said. “People try it and feel like ‘I can get
better.’ They get hooked on it.”
Some of the upgraded amenities at Let’s
Go Pickleball include indirect lighting (no
getting “blinded” during play), cushioned
courts (easier on a player’s joints), and
sound-dampening technology (to reduce
play noise).
“Let’s Go Pickleball offers a social,
fun, premier pickleball experience,”
Mason said.
