Barefoot Bowls Suppliers, in One Place
See real options for lawn bowls, compare, then enquire – free.
Barefoot bowls is one of the easiest group outings on the Central Coast: shoes off, a jug on the bench and a game nobody needs to have played before. Bowling clubs near the beaches run social sessions on their greens for birthdays, work teams and family catch-ups, with the bowls and a quick lesson supplied.
Terrigal Bowling Club takes these bookings on its outdoor green, and the same questions apply to any club you compare.
What to sort out with the club:
Clubs don't publish a set party price, so ask for a quote with your date, numbers and food in mind. Daytime sessions in the warmer months fill first, especially on weekends.

No. Clubs supply the bowls and someone to explain the basics, and most groups are playing within a few minutes of arriving.
Each rink takes a small team, and bigger parties are spread over several rinks. Ask the club how many rinks it can give you, or whether the whole green is available.
Often, yes. Some clubs keep smaller bowls for younger players, so mention ages when you enquire.
Clubs quote each group based on numbers, how long you're on the green and any food or bar tab, so ask for a quote with those details.
Most clubs have a bistro or catering for groups, and some offer set menus or platters for parties. Ask what's available when you book the green.
Bare feet or flat soles, light clothing, a hat and sunscreen. Heels and grippy sports shoes can damage the green.
