description Krolf Overview

Krolf is a Danish lawn game that combines elements of croquet and golf. Players use a mallet to strike a ball toward holes, applying a simple outdoor format that can be played on informal courses rather than on a conventional golf course. The game has been played in Denmark since the 1970s and is commonly associated with twelve-hole layouts. Krolf is intended for recreational players who want a low-contact stick sport with golf-like scoring and croquet-like equipment.
