The Elwood Croquet Club welcomes new members.

Croquet is an outdoor game that incorporates elements of snooker, billiards, golf and chess all in one game. Variations on the rules allow for Croquet to be played as a casual, social outdoor sport or as a strategic, competitive game requiring skill and forward thinking. It’s a fun and challenging sport for all ages.

At the ECC we play the four most popular games …

Association Croquet

This complex traditional game has been around longer than tennis.  It’s a balance of skill and strategy a bit like a game of fresh air chess on grass. 

Golf Croquet

A shorter game that’s only been around about 15 years that is growing in popularity and frequently played in tournaments.  A good simple social and aggressive game where all players stay together on the lawn. 

Aussie Croquet

The simple popular garden croquet game that people have played in their backyards for yonks. 

Ricochet

The fun new game on the block.  Very similar strategy-wise to Association Croquet but is readily understood and played by beginners.
