News Summary
Tidal Creek Brewhouse in Myrtle Beach is set to expand with a $3 million pickleball facility, featuring 10 outdoor courts. Groundbreaking is expected this fall, with an opening planned for spring 2026. The project aims to meet the growing demand for pickleball in the area and enhance community engagement through recreational activities, including leagues and tournaments.
Myrtle Beach is set to become home to a new $3 million pickleball facility as Tidal Creek Brewhouse, located in the Market Common district, announces plans for its expansion. The facility, to be named Tidal Creek Pickle House, will encompass 10 outdoor pickleball courts, four of which will be covered, and six uncovered, aimed at supporting the rapidly growing interest in the sport.
Groundbreaking for the new venue is anticipated to take place this fall, with aspirations to open the facility in spring 2026. The pickleball project responds directly to the increasing popularity of the sport across the United States and addresses the deficiency of available pickleball courts in the Myrtle Beach area.
The ambitious project will occupy a 1.6-acre property that has remained vacant since 2016. In addition to the courts, the expansion plans include an indoor kitchen and bar, which will undergo a full renovation of the existing brewery. The kitchen is expected to offer Neapolitan-style pizza alongside a selection of new beers, further enhancing the experience for attendees.
Community Engagement and Support
Adrian and Dara Sawczuk, co-founders of Tidal Creek Brewhouse, highlighted that the new pickleball facility aligns with their mission to foster community and connection among residents and visitors alike. Their initiative has received considerable backing from the local community, with fundraising efforts already securing about $1 million through investments and donations.
The project also benefits from the city’s support, which has allowed the Sawczuks to tap into a tax credit program devised to encourage the renovation of vacant spaces. This partnership between the business owners and local government underscores a collaborative effort to enhance community amenities.
Facilities and Programs Offered
The Tidal Creek Pickle House is designed to accommodate a variety of pickleball activities, including casual play, leagues, tournaments, and instructional clinics taught by a professional pickleball coach. This variety is intended to attract both seasoned players and newcomers, reinforcing the social nature of the sport, which has been embraced nationwide.
According to trends in the area, there is a notable increase in the construction of pickleball courts throughout Myrtle Beach, with new installations at local parks reflecting the sport’s growing popularity among residents. Pickleball’s engaging environment encourages connections, making it suitable for individuals of all ages and skill levels.
Market Common: A Growing Destination
The Market Common district, once part of the former Myrtle Beach Air Force Base, has transformed into a trendy neighborhood favored by both businesses and residents alike. This walkable area is known for its vibrant community and modern amenities, making it an ideal location for the new pickleball facility.
Tidal Creek Brewhouse originally opened in 2020 with the goal of nurturing local engagement and building a sense of community. With the introduction of the Tidal Creek Pickle House, the brewery aims to further solidify its role as a social hub, showcasing the growing synergy between sports, leisure, and communal activities in Myrtle Beach.
As the plans for the Tidal Creek Pickle House move forward, the local community anticipates not only a new recreational venue but also an enhanced sense of togetherness, echoing the brewery’s initial mission.
