What you need to know

  • We are fully licensed (no BYO) with a great range of popular beverages at club prices.

  • You will be outside and in the sun when bowling. Dress appropriately and make sure you wear sun-smart clothes and sunscreen as necessary.
  • When you arrive, we will make sure you are instructed in the game and, importantly, the safety aspects of barefoot lawn bowls to make sure your experience and those of our other guests is a safe and memorable one. We want you to have fun!
