Bintang Badminton Academy

To go to spot to drop in and play some badminton. If you are a Hs student you get a discount. Theirs plenty of courts to play with that no matter what time of the day you go you will for sure have a court to play in. this place also has a small place to lift weights, a play room for kids, even a place to shower after an intense badminton workout. Love the amenities ESP the ping pong table.

This place is very convient although its hard to find, if you’re not familiar with the area. Clean, friendly atmosphere and open court.
Nice bathroom and sitting area. Have vending machine for water.
They have ping pong also. Rental badminton racquets.
Parking can be hard in later afternoon.

First time here, they charge $ 10 on the weekend (highest I have seen). Tho they had plenty of courts and didn’t have to use a computer system or challenge to book a court. It’s well ventilated unlike the Campbell location. Only downside was the price

Nice courts! Plenty of them and great lighting. Service is absolute crap though. But for badminton purposes, it’s a nice place to play.

You won’t be able to find a badminton place this close to SF, with as many courts and within the same price range. That’s probably why they just raised their prices again from $ 85 for a 10 pass to $ 90. The courts aren’t professional grade, but definitely better than the school gym. Lighting is the usual blinding stuff and the staff are what you would expect. Maybe my expectations aren’t that high, but this place is great if you just want to play some badminton!

My first time coming here was a okay experience. There is a $ 10 dollar admission fee in order to use the court and additional charge to rent their rackets and birdy. The location is right next to «Hung To Seafood Restaurant». Overall, I think this place is okay for people who is into Badminton, but I don’t think I will pay $ 10 dollar for the admission just because I know I won’t play more than 2 hours. I will visit it onces in a while.

This is the largest badminton court near sf. Even though they have 26 courts, it will be pretty full at night and weekends.

we came on a saturday and wow was it packed! my friend wanted to celebrate her bday so we reserved a couple courts. the gym was HUGE. there were a ton of courts and they were all filled! this place gets business! there are some real serious players too — screaming like they are the Serena sisters playing tennis or rushing you past their courts. but everyone is at least friendly and the facilities are clean.
it is HOT in there. there is no ventilation. you are sweating bc you are running around so much (if you suck like me) or because there are so many people in there. they do have showers in there. you’d want to bring an extra change of clothes.
parking lot sucks — they have these annoying double speed bumps that aren’t very highlighted so you can miss them. the lot closest to the entrance was full, so you’d have to park next to those huge shipping container trucks… but you’ll never run out of spots.
there are also ping pong tables if that is more your thing or you want a break from badminton.

The courts are really nice and the environment is cool too.
But the customer service was not exactly what i would expect. I gave the cashier who looked young 5 dollar bills and a dollar worth of coins. The coins were a quarter and a bunch of dimes and nickels. But anyways right when I gave him my payment he gave me a smug look and told me «I don’t want to count it» excuse me what?
He was reluctant to count out the five dollar bills and really made it clear that he did not want to count the coins which were just a dollar! I had to count it for him while i had my hands full. After i counted out my coins to him he then says «yeah i really did not want to count it.» I was just like okay… But i never heard of a cashier not counting out money. He was just being lazy.
Also, my friends were kicked out of their courts because they were reserved thus cutting our games short.

As far as courts go, this center is nice. There are plenty of courts available, and the facility is well maintained.
Be cautious when signing up for membership with this place. Signing up is easy, and they have no problem charging you. It’s when they’ve made a mistake, or when there is a charge that needs to be disputed, where they have trouble. Also, they misuse your personal contacts (ie, they contact EMERGENCY CONTACTS to try to discuss membership payment issues). This information is provided in case of an EMERGENCY. As in — IF I GET INJURED AT YOUR FACILITY. My emergency contact should NOT be disturbed if you tried to call me once and I missed your call. But, who knows, maybe in their eyes this is an «emergency?»

This is a super late review. Back in 2011 I came to play at this place because I was covering photos for USA Badminton Adult Nationals Championships. This club was brand new and also the biggest club in US (still is I think as of 2015). There was a big exhibition court up front plus other rally courts all tiled up nicely. The people were friendly and the sign up system works well. There aren’t any air conditioning but being in North California I’m always cold anyways. I love visiting this place and will pop by next time I’m in the area.

Can’t really complain about this place. Walked in on a Sunday afternoon and paid $ 9 for which I’m assuming unlimited play. They even let you borrow a racket if you trade in your keys.
Everything was clean and in a very big, open, spacious area so you’re not hitting your neighbor all the time. They seem to have plenty of courts available for some all day fun.
It’s kind of hidden so you have to drive all the way to the back of the parking lot (with a ton of speed bumps). If you smell bread along the way, you are going the right way.

Wow this place is intense! There were a lot of hard core players here and a ton of cheering and chants. We arrived a little before 3pm and luckily we snagged the last open court. The courts were well maintained and they also have a section up front with ping pong tables. The fees are reasonable and you can rent the rackets but you have to buy the birdies. They ask for your car keys as a deposit to make sure you do not leave without giving the equipment back.

Love this place

Wonderful staff! Super nice and helpful.
Great gym! Even though there were tons of players, there were a lot of available courts. No wait time at all.
We loved!

Love the 20+ courts, the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. The players there are also welcoming if you don’t have a partner and need a hitting partner.
This is now my favorite gym. I’m heading there tomorrow !

This is the best badminton place in the area. There are a lot of courts and is usually busy but I have always been able to find a free court in the late morning /​early afternoon on Saturdays and Sundays. At 26 courts, this place is massive.
The courts use proper badminton matting unlike other badminton centers in the area. The choice to use neon green for the walls is a bit distracting and not the best choice for a visually dependent activity. There are also some secondary facilities such as weights and ping pong tables.
The fee is 9 $ for all day drop-​in but is cheaper at 8 $ if you get the pre-​paid card. There are usually a lot of kids taking lessons /​training and it is generally a family-​friendly atmosphere. I would recommend this place for anyone who loves playing badminton. :D

As of today, their fee is up from $ 5 to $ 6, after 4pm is $ 9. If you want to get the middle courts, come early once they open. It gets crowded now. They recently renovated the bathrooms. I haven’t used the shower, so I don’t know about that. Overall, its ok. Parking is always limited but you can double park. You just need to write down your car information at the front desk, in case someone you block needs to leave. If double park is full, you can actually park at the lot of the chinese restaurant next to Jack in the box. The main lady at the counter is super nice. I’ve been playing here for the past 3 years, almost every week. I had my 2 birthdays celebrated at Bintang.

Really nice, clean and spacious place to play badminton. They have lots of courts. The daily drop in rate is $ 9. However, if you prepay for more days, there is a bit of a discount. The bathroom is also clean. They sell badminton gear and snacks and drinks in the front.
The only con is that sometimes the place gets pretty full so you have to wait a bit for a court. And it gets hot in here. It would be great if they had some air conditioning.

3-​having increased energy levels and self esteem = bonus
spending more time with the spouse laughing and working out– PRICELESS
