Why committees of croquet clubs come to us
The same problems show up in every committee meeting. ClubHelix is built to retire each one for good.
- The lawn-booking book at the clubhouse, and the drive over to check it.
- Club points table and pennant results kept by one long-suffering handicapper.
- Renewal envelopes trickling in until August.
- Come-and-try enquiries answered whenever someone checks the club email.
- Newsletters photocopied and posted to a shrinking list.
What ClubHelix does for croquet clubs
The platform mapped onto the moments your season actually runs on.
Lawn bookings
Facility booking maps your lawns into online, clash-proof time slots — members book from home, and the booking book retires to the archives.
Pennant and club competitions
Run association and golf croquet pennant, club championships and internal points tables as competitions: the draw published, results entered lawnside, standings recalculated automatically.
Memberships and renewals
Online registration and renewal through Stripe Connect with paid-until dates the treasurer can actually see — and gentle broadcast reminders instead of envelope-chasing.
Come-and-try days
Publish come-and-try sessions as events with RSVP, so newcomers book a mallet online and the club knows Saturday's numbers in advance.
Club news and communications
Email broadcasts replace the photocopied newsletter, and your public site carries news, results and galleries — with large readable type your members will thank you for.
The annual return
Playing and social members, lawn hire and subs, and tournament entries. A small committee gets the most from a scheduled pack — the monthly numbers arrive without anyone having to remember to produce them.
What is croquet club software?
Croquet club software puts the running of the club online without asking the committee to become technologists. In ClubHelix it means lawn bookings members make from home instead of driving over to check the book, pennant the draw and club points tables that keep themselves current, online membership renewals with paid-until dates the treasurer can actually see, come-and-try days newcomers book themselves onto, and email broadcasts that retire the photocopied newsletter. Admin pages are plain and guided, every screen links to a written help article, and everything works from a phone or the clubhouse computer.
Lawn bookings without the drive to the clubhouse
The lawn-booking book has one great flaw: it lives at the club, and your members do not. Map your lawns into online time slots that cannot double-book, and members reserve from home in a few taps — the booking book retires to the archives, and the person who used to arbitrate clashes gets their Saturday back.
Association, golf croquet and the long-suffering handicapper
Association and golf croquet pennant each run as their own competition, alongside the club championship and internal points tables — the draw published on the site, results entered lawnside on a phone, standings recalculated automatically. The one member who understood the points table is relieved of sole custody of it. Renewals move online too: members pay through Stripe in a minute, the treasurer watches paid-until dates instead of waiting for envelopes to trickle in until August, and a gentle broadcast reminder replaces the chase.
A croquet club website in large, readable type
Your public site carries the draw, results, news and galleries in generous, legible type your members will thank you for — built and edited with the page editor, no code involved. Come-and-try sessions publish as events with RSVP, so newcomers book a mallet online and the club knows Saturday's numbers in advance, rather than enquiries waiting in an inbox nobody checks. Start from the template gallery, or wander through the live demo first.
Free croquet club software to start
Every ClubHelix club starts on the free plan — your croquet club website and core admin at no cost, with no time limit on staying there. Paid plans carry a 14-day free trial and bill on a 28-day cycle you can cancel any time; the current tiers are on the pricing page. Subscription and renewal payments settle straight into the club's own Stripe account — ClubHelix never holds your funds, and the platform fee is never surcharged to your members.
A gentle changeover
There is no need to move everything at once. Import the member list, put the lawns online, and run the booking book in parallel for a month if it reassures the committee — most clubs find the drive-over-to-check habit fades within weeks. ClubHelix runs croquet clubs in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, the US, Canada, Ireland and South Africa, with payments settling in your local currency. When questions come up, talk to us — or begin with the complete guide to running a croquet club, which walks through lawns, formats, committee roles and growing membership. Neighbours at the bowls club or the pétanque piste are equally at home here.
