The club is affiliated with Croquetwest. Croquet at the Dunsborough Country Club is welcoming, active, and available all year round. With two full-size association courts, a friendly community of players, and a range of game formats, it’s a sport that suits all ages and abilities — whether you’re in it for the strategy, the competition, or simply the social connection.
Both men and women participate in mixed competition, and our members are often seen braving all seasons — even in wet weather gear during winter! Beginners and visitors are warmly welcomed, and all equipment is provided, with coaching available for newcomers.
We compete in South West Pennants, and many of our members also take part in Croquetwest tournaments across the state.
