Sky Valley Croquet Club Year founded: 2018
Type of grass: A-1 Bent grass.
Interestingly enough, we had a meeting in 2017 with about 40 people attending, and by the end of it, we had enough money pledged to build our lawns. After architectural plans were drawn, construction began soon after.
Number of members: 130
Overview of club schedule: Our season starts off with a big party in the beginning of June, followed immediately by twice weekly Wine and Wickets Social Croquet, plus Men’s Play and Ladies’ Play once a week each. We have our closing party mid-October, but our lawns are open all year, weather permitting. We play in 6-7 InterClub matches each year, we have a three-day Club Championship each year and we participate in the Mountain Challenge, a 2-3 day tournament between 11 clubs in the mountain area.
Number of courts: Three 3/4 courts or they can be made into one regulation and one half size.
Open tournaments: We don’t have anything like that, but it’s a good idea and something for us to think about in the future.
Location: Sky Valley, Ga.
