The overview
Rush is an over seven-acre social club and nature reserve at 10037 Menchaca Road, Austin, an old hardware business and lumber yard. Once complete, the club’s facility and amenity offerings will include:
- Pickleball and padel facilities, including stadium courts
- A clubhouse with lockerooms, showers, saunas, cold plunges and a kitchen
- A two-story bar with a rooftop deck
- A one-acre beer garden
- A three-acre nature reserve with hike and bike trails, an urban garden and lookout spots
“We're offering a lot of different amenities, but really we're very focused on four very specific ways that we'd like people to experience the property, and that's really focused around community and connection; nature, health and wellness; racquet sports; and vibrant hospitality,” Sutcliffe said.

A membership will not be required to visit or play at Rush, although memberships will be available for serious players to book and access certain amenities.
About the project
Sutcliffe said Rush will have several partnerships to deliver on its four experience pillars.
Rush’s coffee partner will be Proud Mary Coffee, and the food and beverage partner will be Robert Drummond of Green Light Social in Austin and Dallas. Sutcliffe said the clubhouse kitchen will serve a menu of “native Texas flavors” with smoked meats, locally sourced produce and greens from the Rush’s urban garden.
Herbs and other garden products will be used for drink garnishes and flavored sparkling waters.

Rush will also be the training base for top Austin-based pickleball pros and will host major tournaments, including the Professional Pickleball Association Tour.

Guests will be able to watch matches at the stadium courts or from the rooftop bar.
Also of note
The final phase of Rush will be completing the 3-acre nature reserve, which backs up to Slaughter Creek. Sutcliffe said they have already had clean-ups with Keep Austin Beautiful to prepare the untouched, hidden ranch land that sits just north of the Sweetwater Glen neighborhood.

What’s next
A limited number of pre-launch memberships to check out the first six courts of Rush are slated to open near the end of summer, with a tentative grand opening set for early to mid-2026.
“You don't have to play pickleball when you come here,” Sutcliffe said. “You can come here and get a margarita, sit on the balcony and watch some play. You could also come, grab a coffee and take your dog on a walk down the trail. This is a place for absolutely everybody, and it's very all-inclusive and open to the whole community.”
