New in 2023, Croquet Director/Instructor Jeff Soo and Croquet Instructor Eileen Soo are available weekly to introduce BHI Club members to this lifetime sport. Modern croquet combines the angles and precision of billiards, the fascination of sophisticated tactics, and the fun and challenge of playing shots on BHI Club's world-class croquet courts. Complete beginners can enjoy the game after just a few minutes of instruction, and yet the game offers endless challenges to dedicated players.
In addition to the clinic and lesson opportunities shown below, Jeff and Eileen are often available during Open Play sessions (Wednesdays at 1:30 and Sundays at 10:30) for impromptu tips and instruction at no charge to members.
