Croquet
At Meadowood, we play the grown-up version of the backyard game of croquet that has been played for decades on leisurely summer afternoons. Croquet is the perfect equalizer between players of widely differing physical skills. Everyone starts at the same level, so the consummate athlete has no competitive edge. In fact, croquet is a game of strategy, not unlike chess, which offers the thinking player the true advantage.
Traditional dress for the game of croquet is white attire with flat-soled shoes. At Meadowood white collared shirts for men and white collared shirts or shirts with sleeves for women. White or light beige pants or shorts and flat-soled shoes are required.
Jerry Stark is Meadowood's Resident Croquet Professional
The signature architecture of Meadowood's Croquet Lodge provides a dramatic backdrop for spirited games of croquet. With players in white under a clear blue sky, the scene is reminiscent of a day on a country estate at the turn of the century. Meadowood is proud to offer its guests the finest full-time teaching facility for croquet in the country under the leadership of Jerry Stark.
