Croquet
Ocean House’s championship croquet lawn overlooking the Atlantic Ocean offers a beautifully manicured course ideal for traditional six-wicket croquet. Our Croquet Lawn is championship quality bent grass greens and has been laser leveled and designed according to regulation standards.
With guidance from our on-site croquet professional, Stephen Morgan, our Croquet Lawn is a magical gathering space for family and friends to participate in this timeless Rhode Island activity that can be enjoyed at every age and skill level. With the sea below you and the gentle ocean breezes to keep you cool, the Ocean House Croquet Lawn is the ideal location to practice or polish your croquet skills.
We ask that guests observe traditional croquet attire of white collared shirts, and white or khaki shorts or long pants and flat soled shoes. Croquet whites are requested but not required.
