Visitors

Visiting players are welcome, please refer to our playing times. We have a large membership and accordingly we restrict the times visitors may play. At St Heliers we play only Golf Croquet and the cost is $10 per session and you must play with a club member. We normally play 2 games per session with a cup of tea between the games. If you don't have your mallet with you we are happy to lend you one. Although stated above that we have 3 playing lawns we only have 2 full lawns, one of which we split t provide us with 2 smaller lawns, 3 playing lawns in total.

Prospective Members

As at 1/7/2026

Unfortunately we have a full membership and a waiting list on pause. Sorry to say for those on the waiting list it may take longer than expected for you to be contacted to begin the membership process. Please keep an eye on this website for any change to our situation.

Visiting with a club member does not allow you the right to be put on the waiting list for membership.

The above information may sound harsh but we have a genuine problem with limited lawns and many people hearing of the fun we have playing golf croquet and wanting to learn.
