Plan a UK padel club investment with real market data
The Padel Club Planner maps the UK padel opportunity at a glance. Every local authority district gets a 0–100 opportunity score that blends catchment demand, the gap between courts and population, the live planning pipeline, and how existing clubs actually perform. Drop a pin anywhere to see that location's score, its 10-mile catchment, the comparable clubs nearby, and a live revenue projection for a club you design.
It's built on live booking, occupancy and pricing data tracked across 513 UK padel clubs and official population estimates — so operators, investors and developers can compare areas and size a new club on evidence, not guesswork.
How the planner works
Opportunity score
A 0–100 score for any pinned location — its own 10-mile catchment — blending demand, supply gap and existing-club evidence, percentile-ranked across the UK.
Catchment demand
The 10-mile catchment population around any pin, summed from MSOA-level estimates so it crosses council borders.
GBV projection
Set court mix, hours and hire rate to project monthly gross booking value, occupancy and GBV per court from comparable clubs.
Planning pipeline
Every UK padel planning application tracked since 2022, shown on the map and listed near your chosen location.

Frequently asked questions
How does the Padel Club Planner calculate opportunity scores?
When you drop a pin or search an address, the planner scores that exact spot 0–100 from its own 10-mile catchment — so two locations in the same local authority can score differently. The score blends three weighted pillars: demand (40%) from the catchment's population, income, density and age; supply gap (40%) from courts per capita, headroom versus a mature-market target and the local planning pipeline; and evidence (20%) from how nearby clubs actually perform. Each area's baseline is percentile-ranked across the UK to shade the map, then the pin adjusts that baseline up or down (up to ±15) for the precise spot's real court supply.
What data powers the planner?
It draws on live booking, occupancy and pricing data tracked across 513 UK padel clubs, official ONS / NRS / NISRA population estimates for 10-mile catchments, court supply per area, and every UK padel planning application we've tracked since 2022 (not just the last year). Comparable-club benchmarks use each club's real tracked performance, not estimates.
How accurate are the revenue projections?
Projections pick comparable clubs within a 15–75 mile radius (widening until at least three are found), weighted by distance, court-count similarity and indoor/outdoor mix. Estimated occupancy is a weighted blend of those clubs' real bookings; monthly revenue is courts × hours/day × 30.44 × occupancy × hire rate, with the hire rate defaulting to a distance-weighted area average you can override. A confidence level reflects how many close comparables were found, so treat it as a data-grounded estimate. See the full methodology.
Which areas of the UK are covered?
We score all 361 local authority districts across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so every part of the UK has a baseline opportunity score — and you can drop a pin anywhere on UK land to score that exact location. Club, pricing and occupancy coverage spans the country wherever clubs are tracked.
What happens if I drop the pin on the sea or outside the UK?
The planner only scores locations on UK land. If you drop a pin on the water or outside the UK, it flags the spot as out of bounds and hides the opportunity score and metrics rather than showing a misleading number — just move the pin onto a UK location to continue.
Is the Padel Club Planner free to use?
Yes — exploring the map, dropping a pin and viewing a location's opportunity score is free. Detailed club performance benchmarks, full revenue comparables and the planning pipeline are part of the Pro and Investor plans.
Can I see planning applications for padel courts?
Yes. The planner maps every UK padel planning application we've tracked since 2022 and lists those near your chosen location with their status and court counts. Full application details and approval-rate data are on the Pro plan.
