Southwest Golf Ranch Pickleball Expansion: The Southwest Golf Ranch in Lebanon, Ohio, has started construction on a new pickleball club. The project, expected to finish in early 2026, will give people living between Cincinnati and Dayton a nearby place to play the fast-growing sport. Kiesland Development Services are building the facility.
New Facilities for Pickleball and Golf
The upcoming club will feature six indoor pickleball courts and two outdoor courts. Golfers will also see new options, including seven bays with TopTracer technology and 18 enclosed golf hitting bays. These additions will expand the range of activities offered at the Southwest Golf Ranch.
Current Features of the Golf Ranch
The Golf Ranch already has several attractions. These include 20 heated and covered driving range tees, two acres of bent grass, and technology for swing analysis. It also offers golf lessons for groups and individuals, an 18-hole lighted miniature golf course, and a pro shop. A certified PGA professional staffs the shop and offers custom club fitting services.
Convenient Location
The Southwest Golf Ranch is at 2880 US-42 in Lebanon, north of Bunnell Road. It is just eight minutes from downtown Lebanon and Mason. It is also close to nearby communities like Landen, Monroe, Morrow, and Waynesville.
Vision for the New Pickleball Club
“People in Lebanon and Mason are yearning for a place nearby where they can pick up a paddle and play pickleball with family and friends,”
said Bhavesh Patel, owner of Southwest Golf Ranch.
“Our vision is creating a welcoming destination that promotes health, community, and a lifelong love of sports. Introducing pickleball to the Golf Ranch was a natural fit.”
Growing Popularity of Pickleball
According to the Association of Pickleball Professionals, nearly 50 million people play pickleball each year in the United States. That is about 20 percent of the adult population. While the game was once more popular among older adults, younger players are now joining in large numbers. The average age of a pickleball player is 35 years old.
A Place for All Ages
“The Southwest Golf Ranch intends to be a place where people of all ages can connect, stay active, and have fun with family and friends. Between our golfing amenities, putt putt, and soon pickleball, three generations of a family can enjoy time together in a lively environment close to home,”
said Bhavesh Patel. Kiesland’s team expects construction to finish in early 2026.
Significance of the Project
The new pickleball club highlights how quickly the sport is growing in the United States. It will give families and individuals in Warren County more ways to stay active. Once complete, the club is expected to become a popular gathering place for players of all ages.
