Advertising disclosure
Advertisements or sponsored placements may appear on the site. Paid placements should be clearly identified and should not be presented as independent reviews, rankings, or guaranteed recommendations.
Affiliate disclosure
Some future gear pages may include affiliate links. If a user buys through those links, PickleFinder may earn a commission at no extra cost to the user. Gear content should remain educational first and should not pressure beginners to overspend.
Directory independence
Basic directory listings are intended to remain useful regardless of paid advertising. Facilities should not be able to buy fake ratings, fake reviews, unsupported claims, or hidden priority that misleads players.
Trust and quality notes
PickleFinder is designed to be useful even when a listing is incomplete. When a court count, schedule, fee, surface, or open-play detail is not confirmed, the safer choice is to say that the detail is not listed and point users to the official source. That prevents the site from becoming a directory of guesses.
The site also separates directory usefulness from advertising. Ads, sponsorships, or affiliate links should not create fake editorial claims. Users should be able to tell when something is sponsored and should still have access to practical court information, corrections, guides, and official source links.
Because pickleball access changes often, users should treat PickleFinder as a planning tool. Before making a trip, confirm the details with the facility, municipality, club, or official booking source.
