Elm Lake Golf Course

Pickleball players in Columbus, Mississippi will find a welcoming, no-cost option at Elm Lake Golf Course on Taylor Thurston Rd. The single outdoor court is dedicated exclusively to pickleball, and equipment — including paddles and balls — can be borrowed from the Golf Course Clubhouse free of charge. A permanent practice backboard adds training value for solo sessions. The net remains up year-round except during high winds or when temperatures drop below 60°F, keeping the court playable across most conditions. Hours run Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with slightly earlier Saturday and Sunday openings at 7:30 AM. Players interested in getting a game going are encouraged to contact the on-site coordinator, David Barron, who lives a short walk from the court.
