Midwest Badminton Club

Currently it’s $ 12/​person for access to the courts all day or $ 40/​court for 1 hour.
We went on a Saturday around 3ish and there were plenty of open courts.
It’s a completely new space. The naperville location opened within the last year and looks nearly identical to the Woodridge location.
Be sure to buy birdies in advance since they charge $ 18/​tube.

Good place to have a game. Perfect lighting. Does not obstruct your sight when you shoot the bird. The court has good flooring and is not slippery or too soft, just perfect to take pressure off the spine. Not too crowded neither. I paid $ 10 for entry but sure they have membership. You need to bring in your kit. They sell rackets and birds.

I’ve been taking my sister here for badminton classes for about a year and I am supremely jealous that I did not have a facility like this at which to play when I was training. There are nine courts with high ceilings and professional floor mats. I’ve played in some gyms where the lighting made it impossible to look up but the way the lights are done here is great at minimizing glare. The junior classes are also fantastic; the class size is just right and the coaches are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. You can also purchase your badminton gear at the club which is nice since most sporting shops do not sell anything beyond equipment for backyard badminton.
It’s $ 10 to play for a day or you can get a membership with varying rates based on age and duration of membership. The club also hosts tournaments (like Chicago Open) and I think you can rent out entire courts too. I also hear that they’re looking to open another location in Naperville so I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for that.
