Sports for couples - easy to learn, cheap to play?!

Looking for ideas to get active, burn calories, and have some fun (while not feeling like I am working out). What are some fun games/sports for couples - thinking easy to learn, cheap to go get some used equipment, can play year round, and has accessible fields or courts around.

I was thinking maybe tennis or pickleball might be good.

We do play frisbee golf in summer/spring.

Any other ideas?

    It's been a few years but my wife and I use to go play/practice tennis on a somewhat regular basis which was a lot of fun. I tried to get her into golf but she lost interest before she finished her first bucket at the driving range.

    Hiking? I see TONS of couples climbing together. Any racquet sport. Dancing?

    I just played pickleball this last week for the first time. I think I could enjoy it. Also, I don't mind golfing, but would not go to the driving range. That doesn't interest me at all.

    My husband and I go ice skating, hiking, play tennis, throw a frisbee or a football around and play one on one basketball.

    We also took a boxing class which was wasn't for me, but I'm glad I tried it.

    badminton can be quite fun and you could do it on a tennis court.
