Croquet Mallets

Croquet mallets can be borrowed from the club free of charge for three months after joining. Guidance on mallet selection can be given but new players are advised not to purchase their own mallet until they have become accustomed to the game.

​

The Game of Croquet

Croquet is sometimes described as a mix of chess and snooker – chess for its tactics and snooker for its ball-on-ball angles. This interesting complexity makes the game highly engaging.

 

There are two forms of croquet played at Southern Highlands Croquet Club:

• Golf Croquet: Simple rules, with most people starting here. A game takes between 30 – 60 minutes.

• Association Croquet: More complex rules, with a full game typically taking up to about two and a half hours.
