Pickleball Go Where lists 20 pickleball venues in Vietnam: 10 in Ho Chi Minh City, 6 in Hanoi and 4 in Da Nang. In Ho Chi Minh City most are in District 2, around Thao Dien, An Khanh and Binh An, with a hotel court at the New World Saigon Hotel in District 1. Hanoi's courts cluster in Tay Ho, with others in Cau Giay, Ba Dinh and My Dinh, while Da Nang's are in Hai Chau and near My Khe Beach.

Most venues are clubs with open-air courts, though there are indoor options such as 002 Pickleball Club and BSB Pickleball Club in Ho Chi Minh City and Smash Zone in Tay Ho. Court hire typically runs from VND 100,000 to VND 200,000 per court per hour, with evening rates higher at several venues, for example VND 150,000 rising to VND 250,000 at PickoLand Thao Dien. The largest centre is the 14-court Ariyana Pickleball Centre at the Furama-Ariyana complex in Da Nang.

Several venues open early, with daytime rates starting at 5am or 5:30am, and early morning is the coolest time to play outdoors. Paddle hire is offered at most venues and coaching at many, and open play is available at venues such as Bang Bang Pickleball, Hippi Pickleball Club and Dao Xanh Pickleball. Book evening courts ahead, as after-work slots are the most popular.
