NOOSA CROQUET CLUB

The Noosa Croquet Club, one of the finest croquet clubs in Australia, is located at the end of Seashell Place (off Seacove Court which is off Shorehaven Drive) in Noosa Waters.

Croquet is a sport that is played all the year round by persons of all ages (from 10 to 80+ years) and equally well by males and females. It can provide great exercise for your body (walking up to 3.5 kms. per game) and good exercise for your brain as it is a game which can challenge you mentally, and requires you to think strategically (like in chess or snooker and billiards).

Hoop and ball The Noosa Croquet Club has five very well maintained croquet courts situated in beautiful grounds with attractive garden surrounds. The Club has a clubhouse, with kitchen and toilet facilities, at which monthly social events are held right throughout the year.
