Sports Challenge America has just added 12 brand-new pickleball courts to their 5-acre sports complex on the corner of Bonita Beach Road and Old 41.

Sports Challenge America opened last April and has become a unique, fun attraction for visitors and locals in Bonita Springs. The 5-acre, indoor-outdoor sports complex is the first of it’s kind in SWFL. The indoor facility features a full bowling alley with private sports simulator rooms where players can try their hands at golf, shooting, football, hockey and so much more. Outside, visitors can practice their cornhole skills, half-court shots, golf swings, football passes, soccer shots, and now- their pickleball game!

So what makes Sports Challenge America the first of its kind? Visitors will have the ability to wager on their sports skills. There are hole-in-one, half-court basketball, baseball pitching, field goal kicking, and football throwing challenges- just to name a few! The concept is simple; pay a small fee to bet that you will make a halfcourt shot, hole-in-one, etc., and get paid big bucks if you do! This unique approach gives players a chance to bet on their own physical abilities while abiding by state sports betting laws.

Sports Challenge America is fun for all ages. Visitors can opt out of the challenges and just rent a bowling lane, sports simulator room, or pickleball court to enjoy with friends or family. Sports simulator rooms and bowling alleys can be rented for $50/hour and pickleball courts are just $15/hour. If you don’t have your own equipment, don’t worry! Paddles are also available for rent.

The sports complex also offers a full bar and kitchen so guests can eat and drink while they play! The menu features sandwiches, salads, chicken wings, and other shareables. The full bar serves beer, wine, and craft cocktails. Stop by from 4-6 PM during the week to take advantage of their 2-for-1 happy hour!
