    Pickleball Country Club to open first facility in Houston - Houston Business Journal (bizjournals.com) "A Houston-based partnership is getting ready to open a 31,000-square-foot pickleball club on the northwestern corner of the intersection of Interstate 69 and the Grand Parkway in southwest Houston."

It would be in both if it were on the other side of the access road that runs between the feeder from the Southwest Freeway and Ransom Road. Unfortunately, that's not where the business is located. The one mentioned is on Kinghurst Drive, just west of the Southwest Freeway & Beltway 8.
