Singles or doubles padel in Aarhus?
Padel Lounge Aarhus has four doubles courts and one singles court. Which one you choose depends on how many of you there are — but there are three more things worth knowing before you book.
In a nutshell
If there are four of you, book a doubles court. If there are two of you, you have a choice: the singles court is cheaper per court, but as there are only two of you to share it, the price per person works out higher. On the other hand, you’ll have the whole court to yourselves and the game will be faster.
The track is cheaper, the person is more expensive
| Time period | Double lanes | Per person (4) | Single lanes | Per person (2) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mon–Thu 05.00–15.00 | 178 kr. | 44.50 kr. | 128 kr. | 64 kr. |
| Mon–Thu 16:00–22:00 | 298 kr. | 74.50 kr. | 168 kr. | 84 kr. |
| Mon–Thu 10.00 pm–midnight | 248 kr. | 62 kr. | 128 kr. | 64 kr. |
| Friday 18:00–24:00 | 178 kr. | 44.50 kr. | 128 kr. | 64 kr. |
| Sat–Sun 06.00–18.00 | 238 kr. | 59.50 kr. | 188 kr. | 94 kr. |
| Sat–Sun 18:00–24:00 | 178 kr. | 44.50 kr. | 128 kr. | 64 kr. |
The pattern is the same across the board: a singles court is the cheapest per court, whilst a doubles court is the cheapest per person. The biggest difference is during prime time from Monday to Thursday, when a singles court costs 130 kr less per hour than a doubles court.
Three things that determine the choice
1. Membership does not cover the singles court
That’s the most important one. Memberships at Aarhus give you access to the doubles courts, not the singles court. If you’re a member and book the singles court, you’ll have to pay the court hire fee on top. If you play a lot of singles, coins are therefore a better option than a membership — they’re valid on all courts and at all times.
2. There is only one singles court
Four doubles courts versus one singles court. If you want to play a singles match at a popular time, you’ll need to book it well in advance compared to the doubles courts.
3. The game isn’t the same
A singles court is narrower. You each cover more of the court, there’s further to run, and the rallies are faster. Two people on a doubles court is more enjoyable; two people on a singles court is harder on the legs.
When does the singles’ track make the most sense?
When there are exactly two of you and you fancy an intense game. And especially from Monday to Thursday between 4.00 pm and 10.00 pm, when a doubles court costs 298 kr. and a singles court 168 kr. If there are two of you, you pay 84 kr. each on the singles court, compared to 149 kr. each if you hire a doubles court for yourselves. If, on the other hand, you can find two more people, the doubles court works out cheapest per person — 74.50 kr.
When does a doubles court make the most sense?
When there are four of you, or when you’d like to be able to play as a group of four. At 44.50 kr. per person during the day, this is the cheapest way to play padel in Aarhus. It’s also the easiest court to start on if anyone in the group has never played before — see the guide Padel for beginners in Aarhus.
