The Pulse Score is Padel Pulse's independent 0–100 rating of each club. It is the weighted sum of six components: Reviews 40%, Facility 25%, Operational Quality & Transparency 20%, Activity 5%, External refs 5%, Recency 5%. The weighting is published and is the same for every club — clubs cannot pay to raise their score.
Operational Quality & Transparency has three sub-components: profile completeness (60%), review responsiveness (20%) and update recency (20%). Each completeness item's credit is scaled by where the fact came from: club-confirmed ×1.0 · contributor-corroborated ×0.85 · crawled-only ×0.7 — claiming earns nothing by itself; confirmed data earns full credit. Pillars without real signal show “not yet measured” and their weight is redistributed across measured pillars.
The Reviews component blends Padel Pulse verified-player reviews with the club's Google rating — 100% Google when there are no verified reviews, shifting to a 70% verified / 30% Google cap as verified reviews accumulate (cap reached at ~20 verified reviews).
A Provisional tag means a club has fewer than 5 verified player reviews. Its score is still on the full weighting; it will simply sharpen as verified reviews come in.

Strong satisfaction with court quality and venue condition, tempered by practical notes on maintenance and amenities.
“Great courts. Great venue. Note these courts are not covered”
“Slippery, moist courts. Lots of leaves.”
Small sample of 5 reviews with positive skew (Google's selection). 4.8 rating from 9 reviews indicates genuine satisfaction. Weaknesses emerge from careful reading: weather exposure, drainage/surface grip issues, and maintenance inconsistency rather than systemic complaints.
Only one photo showing a modern, well-appointed clubhouse cafe area; no courts visible, so court quality cannot be assessed beyond default score.
