Pickleball was invented in 1965 by Congressman and successful businessman Joel Pritchard. Only in recent years has it caught on across the nation and now Macon is making its name for itself in the world of the tennis-like sport.
Macon is the home to the world's biggest pickleball venue now that the Rhythm & Rally Sports & Events venue has opened, according to the venue.
Rhythm & Rally Sports & Events is a 150,000 square feet facility that features 32 indoor courts, 16 upstairs and 16 downstairs, with amenities like lockers, showers, and a Pro-Shop to help pickleball players improve their skills.
The sports venue will offer multiple levels of membership including a Family Platinum Membership for $100 a month, an Individual Platinum Membership for $75 a month, a $75 a month Family Gold Membership, and a $40 a month Individual Gold Membership.
Rhythm and Rally Sports and Events is located in the Macon Mall on Eisenhower Parkway and will be open from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m.
