To organize a pickleball game with friends in Polomolok, count your players, pick a court that fits the group, then book consecutive hours so nobody loses the slot. A single court holds four on the floor; book a second hour or a second court if you have six or more, then split the total cost evenly.
How many courts do you need?
One court fits four players for doubles, so a foursome only needs a single court. For six to eight friends, either book two hours on one court and rotate, or reserve two courts side by side so everyone plays at once. A larger venue can be the easiest setup when half your group is resting between games, so check each court's listed court count and amenities when you book.
| Group size | What to book | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 4 players | 1 court, 1 hour | Standard doubles, everyone on at once |
| 5-6 players | 1 court, 2 hours | Rotate one or two players each game |
| 7-8 players | 2 courts, 1 hour | Two doubles games running together |
| 8+ players | 2 courts at a larger venue | Room to seat the waiting group between games |
How will you book consecutive hours?
When courts go live on ReservePolomolok, you will pick a start and end time on the court's calendar, so two straight hours is just choosing a 6pm start and an 8pm end. The price is simply the hourly rate times the hours: a court at, say, ₱250 an hour booked for two hours comes to ₱500 total. Each slot can only be booked once, so plan to reserve early for weekend evenings when courts fill.
- 1Agree on the day, time, and how many friends are actually coming.
- 2Pick a court that fits the group from the steps above.
- 3Choose your start and end time, for example 6pm to 8pm, to book consecutive hours.
- 4Pay within the short hold window using Maya, QR Ph, or card so the slot locks.
- 5Share the confirmation and the per-person amount in your group chat.
How do you split the cost fairly?
Divide the total booking by the number of players, not by who shows up late. The math is clean once you know the rate. A premium aircon court near the top of the local range works out to a modest amount per head once four players share it — roughly the price of a budget court each, because more friends spread the cost. A cheap open-air court split four ways lands at just a few pesos each per person.
A higher hourly rate split across four players can land at the same per-head cost as a budget court — because the more friends you bring, the more the slot fee divides down.
Whoever books pays the full slot up front, then collects everyone's share at the court. ReservePolomolok takes Maya, QR Ph, and card, so the booker can scan a QR Ph code from each friend on the spot. There is no GCash here, so settle in cash or QR Ph at the gate.
- What if it rains on game day?
- Some Polomolok courts are covered and can keep play going through a drizzle, while open-air courts may pause for hard rain in the tropical wet season. Rain and reschedule rules vary by court, so confirm the listed rain policy when you book.
- Can a big group all play at the same time?
- Two courts let two doubles games run together, which covers up to eight players at once. A larger venue can suit a big group, so check the listed court count and waiting-area amenities before you reserve.
- Does everyone need an account to join?
- No. Only the person booking needs a free ReservePolomolok account to reserve the slot. The rest of your friends just show up, play, and send their share of the cost to whoever booked.
Once courts are live, you will be able to browse them, sort by price or by whether they are covered, then send the booking link to your group and lock the slot before someone else does.
