Book Squash Courts in Islamabad

Squash courts in Islamabad sit mostly inside sports complexes and clubs around G-9, F-8, H-8 and F-6, with a smaller number at academies in Rawalpindi near Saddar and Chaklala. Hourly rates start near Rs 1,000 for a basic court and reach Rs 2,000 to Rs 3,000 at maintained venues with good lighting and a sprung floor. Many complexes sell forty-five minute slots rather than full hours.

Court quality varies more than the price suggests. Check the front wall and tin for damage, the floor for slickness, and the lighting, since a dim court makes the ball very hard to track. Rackets are rarely provided, so bring your own or ask whether the counter rents one. Eye protection is sensible and almost never supplied.

Winter is the busy season, with evening slots between 6pm and 9pm booked two to three days ahead from November to February. Coaching is available at several venues at Rs 2,000 to Rs 4,000 an hour, and juniors programmes run after school. Regular players usually take a monthly membership at a complex, which works out well below repeated hourly bookings.
