About Glenelg Bowling Club

Glenelg Bowling Club has been playing on Partridge Street since 1905, and its teams are known as the Buccaneers. Members play pennants, social bowls and the Night Owls evening competition. The club also hires out its clubhouse to the public for celebrations of all kinds, including birthdays, engagements and weddings. If the group wants to bowl during the event, the club supplies the bowls and helps everyone get started. No experience is needed. Members are happy to show beginners how to roll a bowl, which makes a casual game an easy way to get a mixed group of family and friends talking. The clubhouse has a bar, and the club is smoke-free both inside and outside. Party photos from the club show groups bowling on the green under lights after dark and celebrating inside the decorated clubhouse. Green times depend on the club's own fixtures, with pennant games on some days and Night Owls on some evenings in the summer season. Hire dates, numbers and bowling are arranged directly with the club's venue hire manager, who quotes each event.
