This set up needs exact measurements and is used in tournament games. This court isn’t typically used by backyard recreational players. The official 9-Wicket croquet court has more stipulations than a family 9-Wicket croquet court. This form of croquet is the most popular in the US, because it’s more of a social game for gatherings and fun. The 9-Wicket croquet court is sometimes to referred to as the double diamond court, you’ll see why once we get to setting it up.
I’ll show the 6-Wicket croquet court later on, but for now, let’s focus on the most popular play style in North America, 9-Wicket croquet.Ī 9-Wicket croquet court can be used to play the official 9-Wicket croquet, or the more laid back family style croquet, which allows some flexibility to the court.

Nine wicket croquet is the most popular for backyard games with families or groups just enjoying the game as a recreational activity. American croquet, association croquet, and golf croquet all use six wickets and have similar court layouts, but use different rules and standards for game-play. You can group most forms and variants of croquet into two categories, six wicket and nine wicket croquet. There are also a lot better ways to play croquet than using the international court layout, which I’ll show you next. That’s a little confusing to just read it that way, so I’ve made some charts and diagrams to show the exact layout. Six wickets will be used in total, two set 21′ feet from the center stake, and the others 21 feet from either edge in the corners of the court.
No wicket may be within 21′ of the outside boundaries of the court. The international rules of association croquet state that the court must be 105′ long by 84′ wide. So after hours of research, this is what I’ve come up with. But I wanted to know more about the official size of a croquet court, and how I could scale that to fit in the space we had. When we first started playing croquet, we set up the court to fit in our backyard.
