Golf Croquet is a game with a long history and a recent resurgence of interest at all levels. Compared with Association Croquet, it has simpler rules and is more interactive (each turn is just a single stroke), but it requires a similar level of accuracy and tactical awareness. For croquet-related games that you can play in your garden, see the Garden Croquet section.

Golf Croquet players follow a course contesting each hoop in turn; as soon as one hoop is scored, all players move on to contest the next - a simple idea that leads to rich tactical thinking.

If you are interested in trying the game, we suggest that you contact a local club or contact the office.
