BOWLING AND CROQUET DURING WINTER MONTHS

Extra care must be taken by all bowlers and croquet players throughout the winter because the greens are much more delicate. Bowlers must use the green mats. Everyone must wear footwear without sharp heels and without heavy ridges or grooves.

If there is snow or frost on the greens, the greens must not be used because the blades and roots will be damaged.

After heavy rains, the greens should be evaluated in several areas checking for vulnerable spots and everyone should stay off:

  • If there are visible puddles anywhere on the greens
  • If the grounds is visibly soft, especially if walking leaves footprints
  • If water gushes out underfoot or if there is a squishing sound
  • If it just seems very wet

On even numbered days of the month, croquet will be played on the lower green. On odd numbered days of the month, croquet will be played on the upper green.

Lawn bowling will be played on the opposite green.

Please note calendar for exceptions (tournaments, events)
