2010 Season - May 14 - October 3 

The Newport Casino Croquet Club is a membership Sporting Club offering championship croquet play on Newport's legendary stadium grass and horseshoe court facilities to members and the public on a seasonal basis May through September. The multi-course setting is on the very same grass as the first US Tennis Nationals held in 1881. NCCC is a member of the United States Croquet Association. The club is dedicated to the development and enjoyment of authentic American six wicket croquet and is the past host of the regional championships. Croquet at the Hall of Fame has proven to be an excellent addition for corporate outings, social events, weddings and competitive recreation or non-competitive recreation.
