You are welcome to contact the Club Captain, Graeme Roberts 027 609 3400, if you would like to arrange a time to come and try croquet.

​​​​​​​"Have a Go" Days: The club organises occasional "Have a Go" days to enable you to try the game out with family and friends.

There are two forms of croquet played at our club.

Association Croquet (AC) is akin to snooker played on grass. The winner is the first side to score 26 points (hoops) or have the most points (hoops) when the game time expires. A point is scored when a ball passes through a hoop in order and at the end of a game when both of the players balls, strikes the peg.

Golf Croquet (GC) is simpler to learn and to develop good skills.  It is an excellent game for beginners and social players as well as the more serious competitor. Players each take one colour ball and each turn consists of one stroke each at playing their ball towards the target. The balls are always played in a fixed order of colours. Part of the strategy of the game is to get a ball ready to make a hoop, while preventing the opposition from doing so themselves!

Footwear: Flat soled footwear is required to be worn to protect the playing surface.

Mallets: Club mallets are held in the Clubhouse.  These are available for the use of new members.

For more information you can contact the Waikanae Croquet Club Secretary, Linda Hall, [email protected] or phone 021 0290 3635.
