Why Sandy Bay Croquet Club?
More open conditions of play from 17 June 2020
As the government has increased maximum numbers at a sporting venue to 80, there are effectively now no limits on members and visitors at the Sandy Bay Croquet Club, provided distancing is still observed.
Please note: All hygiene and social distancing rules are still in force. Please do not break these rules, for everyone's safety.
Only a ten-minute drive or bus ride from central Hobart, the Sandy Bay Croquet Club offers an excellent experience. Set in the picturesque recreational area of Lower Sandy Bay, the Club offers social games, competitions and social events. We have three superb playing lawns, full clubhouse facilities and all croquet equipment.
We play on six days of the week with Sunday free for coaching and practice. Our Club plays both association and golf croquet and there are opportunities for all levels.
