McDuffie County's own Facilities page lists "Thomson Tennis Courts" with 2 lit outdoor tennis courts AND 2 outdoor pickleball courts. This is a different, real venue from the two Thomson leads in this batch ("Thomson High School" and "Sweetwater Activity Center"), neither of which the county's own site confirms has pickleball — see skipped list.
Our picks from the pickleball buying guides — chosen editorially, never by the venue and never by spend.
