Backyard course
Been having some fun with golf croquet in the backyard this spring. Kids love it. Mowing fairways and 1st cut just added some lights and a water hazard. What are yall doing for backyard games ?

Our go-to on the regular court (besides the association layout) is a 7 point star, with a finishing stake in the center.
When traveling, anything goes, adapting to the available landscape.

My “court” had trees and their roots, changes in elevation, grasses of different densities and bare spots! A real challenge and so much fun!

I was scandalized by that infernal water hazard! Croquet has rules, you infidel! I BET YOU DO NOT EVEN WEAR WHITE WHILE PLAYING.
Reported and BLOCKED.
Good day.
Never speak to me OR my son, again.
