Lawn Bowls: What to Look For

Barefoot bowls is one of the easiest group outings to organise in Adelaide: a bar beside the green, coaching for first-timers at some clubs, and a modest price per head. The clubs sit in different parts of the city, one in the Eastern Parklands at Kent Town, one at Walkerville in the inner north, and one at Henley Beach, where two greens are lit for evening games.

When comparing clubs, ask about:

Price and inclusions. Group bowls start from $20 per person or $25 per person, so check whether bowls, coaching and a bar attendant are part of it.
Food. Options run from barbecues to full catering, so decide whether you want to cook or be fed.
Numbers. One club takes up to 350 guests, so a whole-company day is possible.
Evening games. Lit greens let a summer session run on after the heat of the day.
Shade. Ask what cover there is beside the green on a hot afternoon.

For other relaxed group ideas, browse activities or plan a Christmas party around a game.

Kent Town suits CBD offices, with greens in the Eastern Parklands just outside the city grid.
Walkerville suits Inner North and eastern teams, with a clubhouse that has function space.
Henley Beach suits a western or beachside crowd, with a clubhouse kitchen and barbecues.

Occasions that suit bowls

Work Christmas parties and end-of-year team days.
Relaxed birthdays where guests of all ages can play.
Hens nights and 21sts at a club that takes those bookings.
Client afternoons, where the game breaks the ice.

Heat and rain

Summer is hot and dry, so book late afternoon or evening, bring hats and sunscreen, and keep water on the green.
Most of the rain falls roughly May to September, so ask each club about moving into the clubhouse.
Ask about the club's footwear rules before guests arrive.
