Bendigo Croquet Club

Bendigo Croquet Club is a long-established club dating back to 1904, offering social and competitive Golf Croquet in a welcoming environment.

The club's historic Barnard Street lawns and clubhouse are undergoing a major redevelopment, including new lawns, irrigation, landscaping and parking. During construction, the club is operating from the former Victorian Railways Institute lawn bowls site at 126 Mitchell Street, beside Bendigo Railway Station.

Beginners are welcome to attend regular playing sessions, with introductory tuition and use of a club mallet available free of charge. Experienced players from other croquet clubs are also welcome.

The club expects to return to its upgraded Barnard Street facilities in early 2027, although this date is subject to confirmation.
