A pickleball court in the Philippines costs about ₱0.49M to ₱1.84M to build, depending on the roof, and a roofed 4-court club with a clubhouse about ₱7.4M to ₱10.4M, before land, permits, nets, and fencing. These are planning ranges published in September 2026 by one Philippine builder, AEDO Engineering, not quotes.

What one court costs
| Option | One court | Two courts |
|---|---|---|
| Open, no roof | ₱0.49M to ₱0.82M | ₱0.99M to ₱1.65M |
| Tarp or fabric roof | ₱0.78M to ₱1.25M | ₱1.56M to ₱2.49M |
| Metal roof | ₱1.33M to ₱1.84M | ₱2.66M to ₱3.68M |
For a real example, the builder reports a fixed-price contract for two open courts in Manjuyod, Negros Oriental, at ₱1,100,000, on a schedule of 65 working days including curing. That contract left out the roof, lighting poles, nets, fencing, electrical supply, and permits.
What lighting adds
| Lighting | One court | Two courts |
|---|---|---|
| On poles | ₱164,000 to ₱371,000 | ₱328,000 to ₱742,000 |
| On a roof frame | ₱71,000 to ₱157,500 | ₱142,000 to ₱315,000 |
Evening play is when many people can come, so count lighting from the start if you plan to open at night.
What a 4-court club costs
The builder's example is 4 courts under a metal roof, with lights, a 40-square-meter clubhouse with comfort rooms, and 12 parking slots. It includes a 10% contingency.
| Line | Low | High |
|---|---|---|
| Fill and retaining wall | ₱493,640 | ₱789,824 |
| Concrete slab | ₱574,738 | ₱705,200 |
| Polish and paint | ₱251,756 | ₱317,340 |
| Metal roof, columns, and footings | ₱3,723,456 | ₱4,908,192 |
| Court lighting | ₱284,000 | ₱630,000 |
| Clubhouse with comfort rooms | ₱880,000 | ₱1,520,000 |
| Parking slab | ₱244,500 | ₱300,000 |
| Drainage, water, and power, as a placeholder | ₱300,000 | ₱300,000 |
| Contingency | ₱675,209 | ₱947,056 |
| Build budget | ₱7,427,299 | ₱10,417,612 |
What these figures leave out
Budget for these yourself. We have no sourced peso figures for them, so we give none.
- Land, bought or leased.
- Nets, net posts, and fencing.
- Permits, design fees, and VAT where it applies.
- Soil and site surprises, and drainage beyond the court pad.
- Business set-up: registration, your mayor's permit, staff, software, and working capital until the courts fill.
Work out your own payback
The builder says it found no trusted Philippine source for hourly rates or occupancy, and neither did we. So run the sum on your own numbers. Say you charge ₱500 an hour and fill 20 hours a week on 4 courts: that is ₱10,000 a week, before your running costs. Those figures are made up, so replace each one with what you see at the venues near you.
Then test it at half your expected bookings. If the venue still pays its bills, your plan has room.
Plan the permits
A court venue needs papers to build and papers to operate. See how to start a pickleball court business for the building permit and the business registrations, and confirm each one with your city hall.
Earn more from the same courts
Once you have built, the court hours are what you sell. Onsuki books courts by the hour at your peak and off-peak rates, sells Open Play by the player, and sells packs of hours, paid to your own GCash, QR Ph, or bank account. See Pickleball courts and the best court software.
