Welcome to the website of Wanganui Croquet Club Inc.
About us:
Our club prides itself on being friendly and welcoming to players of both genders and of all ages, from beginners to seniors. We are one of the largest croquet clubs in New Zealand, with eight croquet lawns set in a beautiful location that overlooks the city of Whanganui. Located on the northern side of Victoria Park on Parsons Street.
We invite new members to come and join us for a game of croquet! The only equipment
required is a mallet (the club has spare
mallets for new members to use) and the only dress requirement is a pair of flat soled shoes.
To encourage participation and competition, a handicap system is used so that players of differing abilities can play against each other.
For the start of the 2026-27 season Golf Croquet will be offered on four club days per week: Tuesday (1pm) This is a new session and offers a variation of Golf Croquet called "Two Shot" the previous club days continue as before. Wednesday (9am Singles play and 1pm Doubles play), Thursday (1pm Doubles play) and Saturday (1pm Doubles play).
As the days get longer and we can play to at least 7pm we will be running a twilight session on Tuesday evenings starting at 5.30pm. The greens usually remain open at any time for members who wish to play casually.
The club was hoping to run a twilight business house competition this season, but due to a heavy club calendar this has been postponed and will be lookled at again next season.
