What is AC and GC?
Association Croquet -
This form of croquet has been played for many, many years and is generally referrred to as "croquet". Asscociation croquet and golf croquet do have similarities - playing on a lawn with six hoops, hitting a ball with a mallet, and attempting to run a hoop - that is croquet talk for hitting a ball through a hoop! But, that is where the similarity stops....
Takaro Croquet encourage both forms of the game and members are willing to pass on their experience and knowledge to beginners.
Golf Croquet -
This is a relatively new and exciting sport in New Zealand and is becoming very popular in all age groups all over the world.
Golf Croquet is a quick and easy game to learn, without having too many rules.
Both games are a healthy way of having lots of fun.
It is not too energetic.
It is intriguing, fascinating and addictive.
Strategy and a bit of luck are useful for both singles and doubles in both GC & GC games!
Our season is from 1st September through to 31st August. Winter croquet can be played but this depends on our members, weather and the green keeper!!!!!
