Pickleball Kingdom Plano Reopens With New Owners, 15 Indoor Courts Return

After going dark in October 2025, the Pickleball Kingdom club at 1301 Custer Road in Plano is coming back to life. The 44,407-square-foot facility, which houses 15 professional-grade indoor courts, is set to welcome players back in late March 2026 under new franchise owners Rajesh Byldugula and Suresh Reddy.

The ownership transition ends what the company described as a temporary closure and sets up a multi-day grand reopening celebration. Founding members get the first look on Thursday, March 26, with an exclusive Founding Member Night. Free open play then runs Friday through Sunday, March 27 through 29, opening the courts to anyone who wants to show up and play.

Byldugula and Reddy bring complementary backgrounds to the operation. Byldugula has over two decades of experience in IT solutions and real estate development. Reddy adds more than 16 years as a software engineer, alongside experience building a food business and investing in commercial properties and sports facilities across Texas.

"Pickleball Kingdom in Plano has a strong community of players who care deeply about this space and about each other," Byldugula said. "We are excited to step in, listen and build a club that feels welcoming, well-run and enjoyable for everyone who walks through the doors."

Reddy framed the club's role in broader terms. "Pickleball Kingdom is more than just courts. It is a place where people come to stay active, meet friends and unwind. Member feedback matters to us, and we will continue improving so that Pickleball Kingdom is a place you are excited to be part of, not just today, but for years to come."

Ace Rodrigues, founder and CEO of Pickleball Kingdom, which the company describes as the world's largest indoor pickleball entity, pointed to Plano's existing enthusiasm for the sport as the foundation for what comes next. "This community has always had incredible energy and enthusiasm for the sport. With stronger local ownership and an enhanced member experience, Pickleball Kingdom is committed to delivering the excellence, professionalism, and community focus that the community deserves."

The Plano club is located at Suite 200 on Custer Road, roughly five months after its doors closed. The free open play weekend gives the North Dallas pickleball community its clearest signal yet that the courts are back in business.
