Point Chevalier Croquet Club is based at the historic Hallyburton Johnstone Sports Complex at 25 Dignan Street, Point Chevalier, Auckland. The club plays two forms of the game: Golf Croquet, which is quick to learn and usually takes under an hour, and Association Croquet, the traditional game that can run for more than three hours. Players of all abilities play together, with a handicap system and experienced members who help newcomers learn. The club says it is as competitive or as social as its players want.
New players can try four sessions before deciding to join, and the first year's subscription is reduced. The club has added play days, a fourth lawn and a new kitchen, and its club rooms have been refurbished. Its lawns and clubhouse can be hired for events for groups of 10 to 50 people, and it can arrange a mini tournament for competitive groups. Hire is $25 a head for up to three to four hours, as at 2026, and includes the lawns, equipment and a lesson. The adjoining bar is open at some times, and the lawns are available for playing outside those times.
Our pick in Point Chevalier for a first game of croquet with a club that teaches from scratch.
