Why we build grove courts
For oak padel we built a platform that takes care of bookings, play, access and lights. Many clubs – padel, pickleball or tennis – face the same problem and pay for software that takes a cut of every booking. We want to do it differently: a fair flat fee, every feature, and software we see in daily operation ourselves.
