For pickleballers, the long wait is over. The Hudson Valley Pickleball and Golf Center is now open.

The pickleball and indoor golf center is located at 1895 South Road in Poughkeepsie, at the former Christmas Tree Shops store on Route 9.

Owners Brian Vigorita, Glen Beram and Russel Tigges had originally planned to open the center with state-of-the-art courts and technology in March 2024.

“It took time to bring our vision of the Ultimate Pickleball & Golf experience to life, but the result is worth it,” Vigorita and Beram said in an email statement. “We’ve created a welcoming atmosphere where newcomers can unwind, enjoy great food and drinks and watch the game in action.”

The center opened on Saturday, Feb. 15.

This facility will be the largest center in the Hudson Valley for pickleball, the owners said, with 10 indoor courts, featuring Herculan Pickleball Flooring — a layer of rubber that sits on top of the concrete and helps lower the impact on your joints. According to their website, the material provides up to 35% shock absorption, minimizing the risk of injuries.

“Our Herculan Rubber courts provide exceptional comfort, especially for players with knee, hip or back concerns,” the owners said, and the ball bounces exactly the same as if it were a regular concrete court.

Cameras associated with each court will allow players to get a link to their session to take home and watch back.

Additionally, there is a stadium court that’s a bit bigger than the rest, surrounded by bleachers. This court has three cameras instead of just one, and will offer a site for leagues and tournaments.

The other side of the facility houses their five Golfzon golf simulators. The simulators include a 24-position moving plate, four different hitting surfaces, camera sensors and auto tee to have the most realistic swing possible.

“For golf enthusiasts, our state-of-the-art Golfzon Simulators offer over 250 courses and adjust in 24 directions to match the course’s terrain,” owners Vigorita and Beram said. “With five different hitting surfaces — including rough and sand traps — every shot feels incredibly realistic.”

Other facility amenities include pickleball and golf instruction to get specialized training, full locker rooms with showers, as well as a concession stand with food and drinks.
