About Mount Albert Croquet Club

Mount Albert Croquet Club is a small social croquet club at 50 Lloyd Avenue in Mount Albert, Auckland has been running since 1913. The club plays Golf Croquet, a modern version of the lawn game, and has an enthusiastic mix of players of all ages. Members also enter small teams in competitions run by other clubs in greater Auckland. The club house and lawns can be hired by small to medium groups for corporate, social or stag and hen events, or a lawn picnic.

The lawns are open all year, and the club's play is set out by day. Saturday mornings from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm are for competitive play, using handicap rules or 'Levels'. Sunday afternoons from 2:00 pm to 4:30 pm are social play, and newcomers are welcome to have a go. Wednesday is social play, followed by wine, cheese and crackers. Open days are held on the first Sunday of each month from 2:00 pm, when all equipment is provided and flat-soled shoes are recommended. The club offers two free coaching sessions to people who are new to the game, and the website suggests emailing first to check that a Sunday is not blocked out for competitions.
