Strike sweetly, and with tact and ruthlessness – the bounty is yours.

Welcome to the Golden Mallet Croquet Competition Page.

These pages provide details of the 2026 Golden Mallet Croquet Competition.  Entrants will be drawn semi-randomly into pairs, matching where possible experienced players with beginners.  The fixtures, results and other details can be found via the links at the top right.

It is the responsibility of the pairs to arrange their own matches and to have matches played by the deadlines.  Please read the rules of the competition before playing your matches.
