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 498 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 per local authority 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.
Revenue projection
Set court mix, hours and hire rate to project monthly revenue, occupancy and revenue per court from comparable clubs.
Planning pipeline
A 12-month pipeline of UK padel planning applications, shown on the map and listed near your chosen location.

Frequently asked questions
How does the Padel Club Planner calculate opportunity scores?
Every UK local authority is scored 0–100 on three weighted pillars: demand (40%) from the 10-mile catchment population, income, density and age; supply gap (40%) from courts per capita, headroom versus a mature-market target and the planning pipeline; and evidence (20%) from how nearby clubs perform. Scores are percentile-ranked across the UK, and dropping a pin nudges the score ±15 for that exact catchment.
What data powers the planner?
It draws on live booking, occupancy and pricing data tracked across 498 UK padel clubs, official ONS / NRS / NISRA population estimates for 10-mile catchments, court supply per area, and a 12-month pipeline of padel planning applications. Comparable-club benchmarks use each club's real tracked performance, not estimates.
How accurate are the revenue projections?
Projections blend comparable clubs within 15–75 miles, weighted by distance, court-count similarity and indoor/outdoor mix. Estimated occupancy comes from those clubs' real bookings; monthly revenue is courts × hours/day × 30.44 × occupancy × hire rate. 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 361 local authority districts across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so every part of the UK has an opportunity score. Club, pricing and occupancy coverage spans the country wherever clubs are tracked.
Is the Padel Club Planner free to use?
Yes — exploring the map, dropping a pin and viewing an area'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 overlays a 12-month pipeline of UK padel planning applications on the map and lists those near your chosen location with their status and court counts. Full application details and approval data are on the Investor plan.
