United Badminton Club

Pretty clean, its crowded mostly. They have about 8 or 9 courts and is open till 11 PM.
You have multiple passes — Open play is about $ 9 & then there is a $ 81 for 10 games (that you can share with a friend) & other monthly passes.
They sell Badminton shuttles starting from $ 18 & up. You can rent a racket as well, but i suggest you buy a racket before you go. There is a water fountain and a restroom.
Its just behind the Costco, off I880.

UBC Fremont place, The best «worst management» no body speaks English here, it doesn’t matter if your a member or non-​member/​day visit, they will kick you out of the courts with no reason. Never come here please !!

I only go to this location because it’s close by to work and usually go with coworkers. Inside has a number amount of courts, but not a lot. Good times to go is at 5pm when it opens. Get a number of games in before it gets crowded normally around 7−8ish. Costs is $ 8 compared to other places which is $ 10. Staff is very friendly and good with any questions related to equipment.

I think UBC is okay. I would have given it a 5-​star if it had a better queuing system and better air conditioning. I’ve played at a few other badminton clubs and they all have good air conditioning. The queuing system that UBC has is super convoluted. It’s really hard to understand and use for someone who’s there for the first time.
They sell shuttles, badminton racquets etc., which I like. In fact, I bought my racquet at UBC. They also do a great job with stringing the racquets. If they’re able to fix the air conditioning and their broken queuing system, I’d definitely give it 5 stars.

Oof, this place is janky. First, it’s pretty small compared to the badminton courts in Milpitas. Two, the queue system is really inefficient; it’s basically some clipboards where you write what time you want to play. We waited almost an hour before we got to play and not long after we started other people were trying to take half our court. This place seems to be oriented toward more professional/​competitive players, which can be a turn off for people just trying to get some cardio in. I definitely won’t be returning here.

For one, the place is overly crowded and there are not many courts. But that shouldn’t necessarily make a badminton gym bad. However, UBC lacks an efficient way to queue players who want to play. While other places might have electronic queuing systems, here there is an arbitrary smattering of clipboards where players designate 20 minutes at a time for their turns.
We waited over 40 minutes before we could play. And once we started playing others were already hawking for our spot. We are not pro or competitive players at all, but we’re just in it to exercise and get better. As soon as one of our three players sits down for a rest, players from another group immediately walk onto our court arguing that they ought to use half of our space. Soon after that another group walks up to us reminding us that we only have so much time and that they were next.
I’m not saying that the players who come here are necessarily any less noble. Only that the large number of people who want to play and the very limited supply of court space exacerbated by an arbitrary distribution method makes for a rather miserable experience.
If you’re looking for plenty of court space and clean facilities nearby, I would recommend Bintang Badminton in Milpitas instead.

I enrolled my kids for summer camp. My kid was not overwhelmed by this place at first as its small and not too big a place. Its cooler and ventilated well. Flip side: they kick you out after a while as it’s not many courts and want to let others in. Worst con for me: 9:30 camp starts and the coach/​owner does not show up until 9:35 most days. People crowd the entrance with kids. This is bad role model. They should ready the place by 9:20. Parents waiting to drop and get to work. Bad. I am yet to decide if I will continue them here after the camp

What an awful experience for my kids and their friends. We came here yesterday and were having a fun time until it got busy around lunchtime. We were first given 3 courts to play in because there were 9 of us who paid to play. When some of the kids got tired and sat down, we let go of one of the courts (without being asked to do so, but just as a courtesy to other players) as more people were coming in at noon. So mind you by then we had one court with 6 kids and another court with 3 players in it. Then this woman who ran the front desk comes to us and lectures us about «sharing» courts because other people were coming in to play! Seriously?! Ah, hello lady! How
about telling those people coming in that you are FULL! We did not see any notice in bold letters that there was a time limit to play. If there was and we were told that in the beginning we would have gladly given up the courts when our time was up. We certainly were not planning to stay for hours but if there was supposed to be a time limit per court, we would have appreciated the notice ahead of time. We will not be coming back here because of how rudely and unfairly we were treated.

Avoid this place… I took my kids and his other friends to play here around 11am. Around 12:11pm it got
busy and the person working there was telling us to leave so we can give other people to play. The person was very rude, and very unprofessional, and we will not go back there again. That’s why the place only have 2 ½ star… Avoid Avoid Avoid Bad Bad Service. .Not a family oriented place.

I feel like there is a misunderstanding when people come here. The fee you pay isnt bad at all. Its 7 dollars for unlimited game play. It is pretty crowded and probably thats why people are giving this place bad reviews.
Also, this place is a school! so when classes are in session and your playing on a court that they need then… you have to move!!! its only right… I think people are just butthurt when they are in the middle of the game and classes start in session.
There are a lot of hardcore badminton players here… so if your new at this place then I feel like you might get intimidated by all the veteran players.
This place is a great place to play!!!

OHHHH hell no!!! I paid $ 7 to play here as a drop in guest and they just randomly kicked me off the court without warning because the class who train with the coach needed that specific court. They told me to take another court that was occupied with people playing a game already. The people on the court were clearly better than us. They said that we challenge them in a game and we can rotate like that. Ok!!! It was our second time playing in 4 years; we’re not gonna beat you sir. We came to UBC just to hit around and get some time to work on our shots… not to get mauled by you. We explained this to the manager and she did what she could. And while we were complaining another group of enthusiasts overheard us and said they were on our side and that they completely agree.

UBC did their investment which means provide good and clean, not bumpy courts a decade ago I think. They might be thinking that these courts are stable for next 10 yours. What a pity… None of the courts are good and clear. No straight lines, very well bumpy. They simply ‘DON’T CARE!!!’ and like «What do you want me to do??» play if you want? C’mon people, you should invest some of your income to maintain the courts clean and clean. change the floor and do something to attract people. Is your owner alive? Or flew back to china once for all? Not sure when they took these below pics. Definitely not new !!!

This place has terrible customer service. We had to wait for 1 hour and we couldnt even play yet. So we asked for a refund which they said we can’t because we just have to wait to play. Dont go here unless you have no other choice.

This place is a dump. Was and always will be a dump. Better gyms everywhere. Hell, even Z is better than this place, lol.
Spend your 7 or 8 bucks elsewhere.

Just went there late last night so there was no waiting. The courts are in decent shape and the lighting is good. As it was a scorcher yesterday, I really got my sweat on in a hurry.

Price is reasonable, its not to bad. The facility is pretty nice but sometimes it gets kind of busy. You end up waiting for courts then you only get to play one game and then wait again. But to avoid all of that just go midday, no wait and play as long as you want. Some people complain that it gets pretty stuffy in there but i like it cuz you can really get you sweat on. They usually have birdies laying around but I’m not positive what the rules are so bring you own just in case.
I dont know about the woman’s restrooms but stay away from the men’s. I feel like someone stays farting in there.

This place is very reasonably priced, but there are other courts with the same price and better facilities. Overall, I agree that this gym was dim and stuffy. I had no complaints about the nets and the floors. Actually, it was very well maintained and clean. However, we did chose a court close to the back door so that we could open it and let some air in.
We went in the middle of the day around 2pm. No one except the kids in the classes was there.
The person (perhaps the owner) working at the front spoke minimal English. He could tell us how much the water cost, but couldn’t tell me how long it would take to string a racket. I guess I should have learned Chinese if I wanted to play badminton.
I would go here if this was the only badminton gym in Fremont, but it isn’t.

Kind of disappointed. Their answering machine indicated business hours are 11AM to 11PM, Mon-​Fri.
I was there from 10:57 until 11:05. The door is still locked.
Why?

I dropped my son at this facility so that he could play practice with his friends. He is on the school team with his classmates!
While at the facility, which is located near a new strip mall, and close to Fremont’s Costco, I walked around the facility! I found that the facilities is O.K. It had the needed indoor courts for the guys to practice and for the weekday admission of $ 5, it was a great way for them to spend an afternoon! The price is higher on the weekends but not but much. It was cheaper compared to going to the movies, and a lot healthier. I was hoping for better lighting within the courts but for the price, I guess they have to conserve the power use.
There was just one attendant in the front entrance to collect the admission fee. He did not seem to be doing much and did not look out into the courts while I was there.
i did see some badmington supplies and snacks being sold at the club but we did not get anything. There were so many other places to dine at the mall that the club is located that we just went to the Wendy’s down the street.
It was a guys place for the guys to practice their game and I just wish it was located in a place my son could go to easier but I do not mind the drive for my son’s game!

This place is located in Fremont, very close to where I live. It is by Costco, so you get lost just look for Costco. There are ups and downs in this place. There seems to always be an issue with ownership of this place. And the floor is not as good as GGBC or Golden Gate badminton. Not all of the floors are like that, just on certain courts, where it is not that even. T
They also have a computer that can help rotate you on the court. But if you are retarded with computer like me then it might not be that fun for you to figure out how to use the system, but if you are computer savvy then it is easy and fine.
The price is pretty good. $ 5 before 5pm and $ 7 after 5pm. If you live close by and you want to play a few games it is pretty good. But if you come during 6ish they have training classes and they take up alot of courts so be ready to wait for awhile before you play.
Their strong point is that they have alot of youth that take classes there. So if you have young children, and would like to sign up lessons, then this is a good club for younger kids to learn how to play, because they will have other kids to play with, that is in their age group.
