Quick Summary
Golf croquet is a variation of the lawn game croquet. In this version, all balls are played for one hoop at a time, and the hoops are played in a specific order. A point is scored by the side whose ball is the first to successfully pass through each hoop.1
Croquet itself evolved from an earlier game called paille-maille, which was played in France as early as the 13th century. The modern game combines hitting a ball with a mallet through a series of wickets or hoops in a set sequence.2
