Maldon Croquet Club (MCC) play Golf Croquet which is a friendly game combining ball skills as well as tactics. It’s relatively easy to understand, and fun to play. We welcome players of all ages and experience, from absolute beginners to National Champions.
The club was founded in 2011 playing at Drapers Farm Sports and Social Club in Heybridge. From 2014 until 2022 we played at Forrester Park Golf Club. In 2023 we moved to the Keith Bigden Memorial Ground in Hatfield Peverel with exclusive use of an excellent outdoor playing area, which is large enough for two croquet lawns. We are looking forward to playing there for many years to come.
Please see our About us page for more details about our Club and how to find us.
At present we have over seventy members, who have many opportunities to play at their own level, either socially or competitively. Our ethos is that all members should enjoy their croquet, whatever the level.
Our season usually runs from March to October, and membership is open to people of any age. New recruits are always welcome and we do not have a waiting list for new members. All members have the use of our equipment as well as access to coaching from our more experienced players.
Please read our Taking Part section for more details, including the schedule of our roll-up sessions open to prospective members who would like to try the game first. We have several relaxed roll-up sessions a week, which allow members and guests to play socially. You are welcome to join us at one of these sessions if you would like to try your hand at playing the game. We also welcome spectators so if you would prefer to watch and learn, just come along.
We run coaching sessions and internal competitions throughout the season, as well as entering teams and individuals in regional and national competitions.
We also organise a variety of social events including a summer BBQ and Fun Day, an end of season Presentation Event, and monthly lunch get-togethers over the winter.
We host events for local organisations. Why not book an event for you and your friends to experience the wonderful game of croquet?
