St Martins Croquet Club plays golf croquet, which its website describes as a simpler and faster-moving game than traditional croquet. The club is at 11C Gamblins Road in St Martins, Christchurch. It has four full-size lawns that can be divided into six smaller ones, and more than fifty members with a wide range of abilities. The 2026/27 season opened on 5 September 2026 and runs to May 2027. Club days are Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, from 1pm to 3pm, and the website asks players to arrive by 12.45pm to be sure of a game. Coaching is at 12.15pm on Tuesdays. The club provides hoops, balls, mallets and basic instruction, and an Orbiter bus stop is outside the club.
The fee for the 2026/27 year is $250 as at 2026, and new players pay $116 for their first season as at 2026. Visitors can play for a $5 lawn fee as at 2026. The club can also be hired for team-building events. To try the game or join, the website lists three members to contact.
