About KCCC

Kactus Creek Croquet Club was completed in August 2007. On Sept. 1, 2008, it became an official USCA club with 8 members. The full sized court, located near Kansas City, is a hybrid Bermuda grass that is maintained to a fast golf green quality.

The initial work on the court began in 2000. Because we are on a hill, the first step was to build a wall with thousands of blocks with one corner 7 feet tall. Over the years we brought in dirt to fill and rock to back fill the walls. A fence was installed around the perimeter of the court and drainage was installed. The water for the sprinkler system is rainwater that is caught using 4 three thousand gallon tanks. We are truly a "green" croquet court.

Finally, in early 2007, the finishing touches of bringing in over 300 tons of sand to begin the seeding process. We tilled in peat moss and hand-raked the court level. With club members help we finished the process and seeded July 1, 2007. We were able to play in August 2007. Lights were installed in summer of 2008, which allows us to play into the night.

The courts are open for beginners and experienced players to learn and play. There is always someone available to instruct you in the basics of the game.

Play is going on through out the week and most every weekend. Check the calendar to find out when the court is available for play. Many Saturdays throughout the summer we hold open play where we do a pot luck meal and everyone brings their beverages and is a good way for new people to play and learn.

The only rule of the court is flat soled shoes only are allowed. No heels, no bare feet.
