Padel Tree @ The Hertfordshire

Set in the grounds of the eighteenth-century Broxbournebury Mansion, home of The Hertfordshire golf and country club, Padel Tree @ The Hertfordshire added six outdoor panoramic courts to the White Stubbs Lane estate in early 2026. Players book pay-and-play through Playtomic between 7.30am and 10.30pm daily, with equipment hire at the venue. Coaching includes Ladies Play and Learn mornings, four-week beginner and improver courses, and a Thursday Padel and Pint mix-in. The estate setting brings a restaurant, cafe, shop, disabled access and ample parking alongside the courts.

New to padel? What you need for your first session

Most UK padel venues hire rackets by the hour, so you do not need to buy anything before your first game. Check this club’s booking page for hire availability and prices.

Once you have played a few times and want your own kit, this is the order we would buy in.

• Court shoes first. Clubs hire rackets, they do not hire shoes, and running trainers slide on padel courts. This is the single purchase that most improves your first month. See our best padel shoes for UK players.
• Then a racket. Once your technique has settled you will know whether you want control or power. Start with our best beginner padel rackets, or read how to choose your first padel racket.
• Balls last. Most clubs provide balls for casual sessions. When you start playing regularly, see our best padel balls for UK courts.
