Testimonials

I’ve been working with JDC to build PB Club, and they’ve been absolutely essential. From crafting sophisticated financial models to designing tournament-ready pickleball facilities. What really sets JDC apart is their seamless integration of business strategy, creative branding, and operational insight, all rooted in the unmatched competitive and pickleball design expertise. Their collaborative approach, not just as external consultants, but as true partners, elevated every aspect of our project, resulting in a facility and model that’s both strategically sound and built for long-term success.

I’ve been really happy with my choice to use JDC and believe their service offers a lot of real value. It’s great to be able to say that the GOATS of pickleball advised on your courts, and very cool to get to hit with and talk to Ben & Collin, but being able to have a valued sounding board for ideas, tap into a network of the best of the best in the business, avoid making expensive mistakes, and channel your vision to pursue the higher-standard, experiential type of destination pickleballers want, is the real value.

As an investor and entrepreneur in the pickleball industry, I can say without hesitation that Johns Design and Consulting is an essential partner for any pickleball project. Whether or not you have experience in real estate or commercial development, you absolutely should retain their services. JDC goes far beyond the basics—advising on everything from location, lighting, and player experience to the overall vibe, atmosphere, and even how to operate a racket club. They understand the business models, the go-to-market strategy, and how to integrate into the broader pickleball market in a way few others can. Most importantly, they help you significantly de-risk your project. In a sport that is growing this quickly, the winners of the future will be the ones who build great facilities with a great vibe—and JDC ensures you get there. They’re worth every penny.
