Budleigh Salterton Croquet Club

Welcome to Budleigh Salterton Croquet Club (BSCC), one of the premier croquet clubs in Europe. Founded in the late 1860s, BSCC boasts a beautiful location with breathtaking views overlooking Lyme Bay and the town. The club is equipped with 11 international class lawns, meticulously maintained to ensure a high standard of play.

At BSCC, we pride ourselves on being a friendly and welcoming club, extending a warm invitation to new members. Social play is available every day of the week throughout the year, allowing our members to enjoy the game in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.

Croquet is a fun and social game suitable for all ages. Whether you are an absolute beginner or have some prior experience, we offer opportunities to learn and play. We organise open days and provide temporary membership options to accommodate individuals with varying levels of expertise. These sessions are a fantastic way to get acquainted with the sport, and our knowledgeable coaches are on hand to guide you through the fundamentals.

For those interested in trying out croquet, we offer a free introductory session lasting approximately an hour. Simply contact the club through our available phone and email channels to arrange a session. In addition, we offer temporary membership for a six-week period at a cost-effective rate of 30. This membership entitles you to book courts as frequently as desired and includes six complimentary coaching sessions to enhance your skills.

Located on the club premises, we also have a friendly Bridge Club. This club welcomes members of all abilities, and visitors are also encouraged to join. With three comfortable bridge rooms overlooking the croquet lawns, players can enjoy a game in a relaxed and pleasant environment.

At Budleigh Croquet College (BCC), we are dedicated to providing croquet courses to players in the South West Croquet Federation clubs. Through tailored training programmes, we aim to equip players with the skills and tactical knowledge necessary to elevate their game.

To complement our croquet facilities, we also offer holiday lets at the iconic historic pavilion, now modernised as lawnside apartments. These apartments provide guests with comfortable and convenient accommodations, including amenities such as TV, broadband, and wheelchair accessibility. Managed by Sweetcombe Cottage Holidays, the apartments are ideally situated in a quiet location overlooking the beautiful lawns of Budleigh Salterton Croquet Club.
