Shichahai Sports School 什刹海体育学校

This high-class, centrally located athletics school is where Jet Li learned his nasty kung fu styles. Their badminton courts are a reasonable RMB 30-60 per hour, and reservations can almost always be made for the same day if you're willing to play late. Unlike most badminton facilities around town, the sports school is open until midnight. Perfect place for after supper 'cock thwacking.
