Missouri Pickleball Club Reviews

Where do i even start? I've been a member for 2 years now and all the price has done is go up. My membership started at $20 a month, and has only gradually gone up and now i see in 2025 it's going up to $30 a month. I wouldn't mind whatsoever if they actually prioritized members, but it's a complete pain to even try and book a 2hr session every week. Nothing benefits the members at all. No one loves pickleball more than myself, but this is getting outrageous. Not to mention the staff has completely went downhill since the facility opened. Bennett is the only good thing left at that place. Most definitely plan on cancelling after seeing this most recent email.

MPC is the BEST PICKLEBALL place around. They have SO many options available that got everyone's need covered. If you just begin to considering playing PB, there are a lot of options for you. If organizing plays with your friends is a daunting task, you can participate on the Organized plays which happened every day and play with a lot of people for 2 hs a day. If you are going to play regularly -alone or with friends- is way more convenient to get the membership as court fees are lower and discounts on training an events are substantial. I just started my beginners path a few weeks back and I can already see lot of improvements. Kenny Higgins is one of the instructors there who is very detailed, checks on your play almost every time to provide feedback and helps you by setting scenarios that help realizing what you need to correct. I hate going to gym or places where you are pretty much left alone with no supervision nor feedback. I also struggle to organize friends to play regularly, so now I can just join matches when I want to and play as much as I want on whatever level I want. Place gets crowded but is so HUGE you will almost always have somewhere and somehow to play with. 100% recommended.

Went to beginners open play. Had a lot of fun MPC employee spent time helping and coaching my friend whose first day was today. This place is a great place for family.

Great indoor pickleball facility with 18 courts with regular court surface for use with outdoor pickleballs. Reasonable membership fees, events, and court costs. Wide variety of players with different skill levels. Friendly staff. I use this as my primary indoor place to play 3 or more times a week.

It is a very good place to work AND play. 100% fun all the time.

I went to the DUPR Match Play tonight and it was SO fun!! I love the number of games and different match up opportunities. Kenny always does an amazing job organizing events. Looking forward to the next one!

MPC is always a great spot to play. I especially love the DUPR nights. Wish they did them at least every two weeks!

LOVE MPC! The team and instructors are all very warm and accommodating. I love joining the “Drill & Play” sessions. I started with the 2.5-3.0 and now progressed to 3.0-3.5 with Kenny Higgins. He knows his sport so well and I’m just glad to be learning from THE BEST!!

Plenty of well taught individual and group lessons, along with daily organized play for all levels.

My wife and I just did the learn to play with Kenny Higgins. The session was a blast and we learned a lot. Kenny was awesome. We will be back for sure and have already recommended the learn to play class to some friends of ours. Thanks so much Kenny. We’ll see you some.

This place is AWESOME!! Excellent courts, excellent pro shop and most importantly excellent staff. There are plenty of organized programs for all levels and lots of opportunities to grow your game. Kenny Higgins is an excellent pro and has helped me immensely

I participated in a “Drill & Play” at the 3.5-4.0 level. It was fantastic! Our instructor was Kenny Higgins. What made the session unique was he did a great job of explaining the strategy as we were practicing drills. And then when it was time for games, he would work with us individually with pointers and instruction. Great session! I’ll do it again for sure.

This place was AWESOME. I was visiting in town for work and wanted to play some pickleball while I was there. I found this place by local search and was pleasantly surprised. The complex itself is awesome. Tons of courts, separated by fences so the ball is not flying all over the place which is great. I attended an organized open play and it was well run and great. They have tons of great paddles to rent as well whether you want to try one out, or you don’t have yours with you. The small dink court to practice on was also great. Will definitely come back when I’m in the area.

Had a really good experience today at MPC! I worked with Kenny Higgins one of the 3 instructors there! He taught me a lot about pickleball and some really cool tricks to practice at home. I would 100% recommend coming here to book something with him if you want to improve!!!

Amazing facility and amazing staff!

It is a great facility to be a member of with amazing staff, courts, and a solid pro shop, as long as you can pay for it ALL as it is expensive [so students bad idea to pay, this is a place for those who have stable lives and jobs]. It's $25 per month at this moment, with court reservation costing $19 per guest, and registration for any event such as organized play is $10 for members, and $20 for non members. And, make sure to remember that if your registrating for something the day of with someone and it's full before the other person is able to register themselves, too bad, they can't go and you have to pay for it. My issue is that it would be IMMENSELY helpful if those registering for the organized plays can see just HOW full it is so that if there are four people trying to go the day of then they can see whether it's a good idea for them too based on how many spots there are left. Again, those are my only issues with the place, expensive and it sucks not to see how many spots there are left with events such as organized plays. I encourage those who can afford it and have friends who are also membersto become one, but I do not encourage college students. Also, if your a beginner and just want to play casually and not have to pay the expensive amount, there are places like kirkwood park that have courts open for free after 7pm and everyone there is always willing to play with each other.

My experience at the Missouri Pickleball Club's (MPC) 3.5-4.0 clinic with Kenny Higgin was extremely disappointing. Despite being referred by friends who spoke highly of MPC, my first encounter left much to be desired. Kenny's coaching approach was lackluster from the start. He began the session without bothering to assess each player's strengths and weaknesses, opting instead to focus solely on serving techniques. This was frustrating, as my strongest suit was not serving, and I had hoped for guidance on improving my fundamentals. Throughout the clinic, Kenny's attention seemed sporadic at best. He failed to provide meaningful feedback or individualized instruction, opting instead to simply rotate players through drills without much engagement. When he did offer feedback, it was often vague or unhelpful. During gameplay, Kenny's lack of attentiveness became even more apparent. Instead of offering constructive advice, he resorted to unhelpful comments and seemed more concerned with rushing through the session than actually supporting players' development. To make matters worse, Kenny's communication was both dismissive and condescending. When I sought clarification on the rules, he responded curtly and made me feel incompetent for asking. His demeanor throughout the session was unprofessional, and his unwillingness to address players' concerns was deeply disappointing. Overall, my experience at MPC's clinic was a complete letdown. Kenny's coaching style was ineffective, and his attitude was disrespectful. I would caution anyone considering joining MPC to think twice before investing their time and money in this program. Additionally, after speaking with friends who attended a different clinic with Kenny, it seems his lack of attention to detail and focus on drilling over instruction is a consistent issue. It's clear that Kenny's coaching style is not conducive to a positive learning experience, and I would not recommend MPC's clinics as a result.
