Club28 Badminton Club - Philadelphia

Club28 Badminton Club is one of the clubs in the Pennsylvania-Delaware area. I visited the club in their Philadelphia location. It is spacious with comfortable ceiling height for clear and lift. The club is 20 minutes outside the central city area. It is situated in a quiet neighborhood with not much going on.

I played there on a Saturday but the club is fairly empty. It’s possible that not many players are there during new year holiday. However, out of 11 courts, only 4 courts are occupied from 6pm. The club has 6 courts in the front and another 5 courts in the back. In the front, there are 2 courts that have lower ceiling heights than others. Additionally, the club has ample space for walking around and watching others play. The spacing between courts can be tight as birds often fly into each other’s court. The club also has a small weight room, which I believe is reserved for players who train there. The light in the club is dim so it is not too bright. However, on certain shots, it is difficult to track the bird. The courts are covered in badminton mattress, which absorb the tension from jumping nicely.

It costs around $18-$20 for 2-hour play, which I think is a great deal.
