Lawn Bowls: What to Look For

Barefoot bowls is about as relaxed as a group outing gets: a few ends on the green, a drink in hand and a clubhouse for food when the light fades. In the inner south and west of the city, clubs in Belmont and Newtown open their greens to social groups and pair them with function rooms.

Questions that shape a bowls booking:

Green time and bowls. Ask whether loan bowls are included and how long a green is held for the group.
Function space. Check which room comes with the booking and whether it is private or shared with members.
Catering. Clubs vary between in-house menus, platters and outside caterers, so ask what is allowed.
Sun and rain. Greens are outdoors, so plan for hats in summer and ask about an indoor fallback.

Bowls suits a Christmas party or a corporate event where not everyone wants anything strenuous. Pricing is set per group, so ask each club for a quote.

In Belmont, a club with three greens has a licensed clubhouse available for functions.
In Newtown, close to Pakington Street, a club pairs barefoot bowls with three function spaces.
Both suit groups that want an easy-going afternoon without leaving the inner suburbs.

Making a bowls afternoon work

Book a late-afternoon start in summer and an earlier one in the cooler months.
Organise teams of four and keep a simple scoreboard for bragging rights.
Add a barbecue or platters in the clubhouse so the green time stays relaxed.
A minibus or chauffeured car home keeps a bowls Christmas party simple when drinks are involved.

Lawn Bowls FAQs

Where can we play barefoot bowls for a group in the inner suburbs?

Clubs in Belmont and Newtown host social bowls for groups, each with a clubhouse or function rooms for eating and drinking afterwards.

Do we need our own bowls or shoes?

No. Clubs generally lend bowls, and barefoot play means no special footwear. Ask each club to confirm.

How much does a barefoot bowls party cost?

Clubs quote per group, depending on green time, the function room and catering, so ask for a package price.

Can a bowls club host a work Christmas function?

Yes. Both clubs take corporate bookings, and the Newtown club hosts work Christmas parties in its function spaces.

What if it rains on bowls day?

Greens are outdoors, so check whether the club can move the group inside or shift the booking to another date.
