We play both Association and Golf Croquet from April to end September on the short croquet lawns at Polesden Lacey. Our members are split into several groups each playing for two hours each week. Members can play additional games when spaces occur through absence in other groups. Visitors are welcome when there are vacancies. New members are welcome at the beginning of each season.  We have a beginners group on Tuesday afternoons.

Various events through the year include a golf croquet tournament, an associate croquet tournament and a group picnic.

There is an annual membership fee to cover the cost of hiring the courts and incidental expenses. In addition any non National Trust members have to pay the standard fee for access to the gardens.
