About Walkerville Bowling and Community Club
The Walkerville Bowling and Community Club is a community club off Smith Street in Walkerville, known among bowlers for its grass greens. A rebuilt clubhouse with a covered terrace looks straight onto the rinks, and the club hires out its function area as well as its greens. The simplest group option is two hours of social bowls at $20 a head, with a $320 minimum that covers 16 guests and includes the bar attendant. Larger groups can hire one or both greens at $200 each, with room for up to 56 players on every green. Bowls, tuition and supervision come with the green hire, so first-timers are shown how to play. For a full function, the club offers exclusive use of its function area for three to four hours, and the kitchen, ovens and outdoor barbecue can each be hired on top. Birthdays, work parties and Christmas functions are among the bookings it names, and a deposit secures the date. Players wear flat soles, sandshoes or bare feet, as boots and any heeled shoes are not allowed on the greens.

I have been here twice for private functions and both times the hosts have raved about this place as a venue for hire. As a guest, the bar staff have been welcoming and the venue itself is large with easy street parking.…

I held my 40th birthday here and it was awesome. Very reasonably priced and a great night was had by all. I hired out the green in addition to the hall. Excellent facilities and friendly staff.
