About Pebble Creek Sports Club
Pickleball & Tennis
Pebble Creek Sports Club is one-of-a-kind Pickleball and Tennis club in Hickory, NC. Enjoy the friendly, inclusive vibe alongside amenities and perks that come with our clubhouse!
After playing on our lighted outdoor courts, enjoy the amenities in our clubhouse including a pro shop, locker rooms, table tennis, and event space with a kitchen, bar, and big screen TV.
We fill a void in the community for a casual club with amenities… somewhere between a YMCA and a Country Club. Our clubhouse that fosters a sense of community and just the right amenities to provide that extra something special for pickleball and tennis enthusiasts.
Formerly a very active racquet and social club in Hickory, Pebble Creek fell into a state of disrepair for decades. Gary and Barbara Fulbright saw the potential and purchased the property in January, 2023. Envisioning a comfortable, friendly place for people to come together and enjoy playing and watching a variety of sports, they worked tirelessly to bring the Club back to life…
WHY PLAY AT PEBBLE CREEK SPORTS CLUB?
Tennis. Pickleball. Socializing. Fun!
We’re a tennis club. We’re a pickleball club. We’re a social club!
Our beautiful facility in NE Hickory has outdoor lighted TURF TENNIS COURTS and DEDICATED PICKLEBALL COURTS.
A “niche" club - the perfect blend between a YMCA and a Country Club.
The Tennis & Pickleball Courts are Great - That’s a Given!
But our clubhouse is also an integral part of Pebble Creek. Players enjoy the pro shop, ping pong courts, and locker rooms, as well as the spacious lounge area with TV, kitchen, and bar to enjoy potluck events.
