Looking for free pickleball court reservation software—or tennis, basketball, and sports field booking? Prime evening slots should not live in a group chat or a clipboard at the gate.

HoldATime.com publishes a booking page for each court or field, applies fair-use rules, and uses QR posters plus printable passes so check-in stays on-site. Start on the Free plan — no credit card — with a free landing page, 50 future reservations, a 14-day booking window, and unlimited amenities and users.

Who can book courts and fields

Choose list-only (invite or spreadsheet import) or open registration from your public page. Use Groups so league players, members, or coaches only reserve the surfaces they should.

QR booking at the fence

Hang a QR poster where players already look. Scanning opens live availability; after they reserve, they get a printable pass to show at the gate.
