Who Are We?
As of June 2023 we are a newly sanctioned club with the U.S. Croquet Association in Louisville, Kentucky.
What Do We Play?
Currently playing both Golf Croquet and American Six-Wicket games, free instruction is given in a family-friendly atmosphere with professional equipment provided for newcomers.
Where Are We?
We are located in Middletown at a private residence near I-265 and Shelbyville Rd. For directions, please contact us to reserve a time slot Monday through Friday. We will also be scheduling two Saturdays a month; those dates to be announced.
If you are interested in learning more about either game, we invite you to play the first time for free. You can play a second and third time for $5 each time before joining the club. The $10 may be applied toward the dues. Annual dues are $75 for adults and $40 for full-time students/youth. This is for the local membership which helps us to cover the cost of maintaining the court and equipment. Membership in the U.S. Croquet Association is separate: $75 for an individual adult, $135 for a couple residing at the same address and $25 for junior membership (age 25 and younger).
