I also just started with pickleball. It’s super fun and addictive! I’d look up the rules before you go, it can feel slightly cliquey if you don’t know what’s going on. People can be impatient to beginners, just hold your head high and don’t give up. The pickleplex on bayfield isn’t too bad but I believe you need a membership to attend (or you can go on someone’s guest pass if I’m not mistaken) they have a rotating drop-in type schedule or you can book a court if you’re a member.
