Play timesNo charge
Come and try a session or two.
At no charge, with beginner coaching and all the gear provided. Most new players start with Golf Croquet: easy to learn, and a game takes under an hour.
Croquet combines the skill of billiards and the strategy of chess, outdoors on grass.
Hemlines changed. Friendships stayed.
1923
A horse and a plough.
Mr F. Stimpson, Chairman of Stephens Shire Council, obtained the north east corner of Yeronga Park for croquet lawns, and on 15 October of that year he arrived with horse and plough to prepare the ground. Two lawns were laid, and a small clubhouse was erected. The club commenced with a membership of 18. Mr Stimpson's wife became the first president.
1940
Bring your own afternoon tea.
Wartime. Stringent cost cutting had to take place as money was very tight and the club was still in debt. It was decided to stop paying the tea lady, and members needed to bring their own afternoon tea.
1987
Golf Croquet arrives.
Golf Croquet was mentioned for the first time. Previously only the traditional game of Association Croquet had been played. Today most new players start with it.
