Porsche Design and developer Newgard are planning two private destinations for car enthusiasts, in West Palm Beach and Dallas. Padel is on the amenities list alongside dining, spa and wellness, lounges, coworking and event spaces.
These are not two ordinary padel clubs
The September 28 announcement describes Porsche Design Concours as privately owned automobile studios plus a membership-based clubhouse. The first two locations are planned to contain 44 studios: 22 in each city. Studio sales are by invitation. Porsche ownership is not required.
Padel sits inside that broader private-club offer. The announcement does not give court counts, padel booking prices or a public walk-in route. Both locations are targeting 2028, so these are development plans, not courts available to book.
A target, not a confirmed opening date.
No public padel booking terms announced.
A court as a club amenity
This is padel as a reason to spend time at a club, rather than a club built only to play padel. The court helps sell a whole social setting: cars, work, food, wellness and people with a shared interest.
That may bring the sport to a new audience. It does not, on its own, solve everyday court access. A private amenity and a neighbourhood pay-to-play court should not be counted as the same kind of opportunity for players.
The question to keep asking
Who will be allowed to play, and on what terms? Until the operator publishes those details, the honest story is the planned club model, not a recommendation to join.
