Pickle Tours designs and operates escorted, small-group touring product in which competitive pickleball is the spine of the itinerary rather than an amenity attached to it. We contract directly with resorts, courts, coaches, and motorcoach operators, and we sell to guests under our own brands.
This site is for the people we buy from and sell through. If you are a guest looking for a tour, you want route66pickleballtour.com.
Our launch product is a ten-day tournament tour running the length of historic Route 66. It is deliberately structured so that the same operating template — a resort midpoint, contracted court time in each region, and locally sourced coaching — can be repointed at other corridors once proven.
That matters for partners: we are not buying one block of rooms once. We are building a repeatable annual cycle and want the same suppliers in it each season.
A 32-player blind doubles tournament played across eight states, Chicago to Santa Monica, with a championship weekend at a resort midpoint.
View the guest siteEach track has a different contract shape and a different point of contact. Tell us which one you are and we will send the right paperwork rather than a generic deck.
We issue RFPs by corridor and season, and we contract room blocks against a fixed departure calendar published well in advance.
Clubs refer members to a tour their players already want to take, and are paid a flat per-guest referral fee on completed travel.
Long-cycle charter work with defined yard-release windows built into the itinerary rather than bolted on afterward.
Sales managers ask the same questions in the same order. This is that sheet — the operating shape of a single departure, so you can size the business before we ever get on a call.
Full corridor-by-corridor room-night volumes, seasonal departure dates, and rate requirements are released with the RFP under confidentiality. Ask and we will send it.
We answer trade inquiries directly — there is no call center between you and the people who make the decision. Owner-operated means the person who reads this is the person who signs.
