About Mornington Bowling Club
Mornington Bowling Club has been part of the town since 1917 and sits on the cliff top along the Esplanade. Its greens and clubhouse look straight out over Port Phillip Bay, and the lounge is a good spot to watch yachts, dolphins and the sunset. Barefoot bowls is open to the public with no membership needed. Experienced members show newcomers how to bowl, the bar is open for every session and evening sessions add a sausage sizzle. Bookings are taken online for small numbers, while larger groups of up to 20 can be arranged directly with the club. Groups of four or fewer may share a rink with others on busy nights. For a team building day, a staff reward, client entertaining or a Christmas party, the club hires out rinks between 5.30pm and 7.30pm. Tuition from a club member is part of the session, and the bar facilities sit right beside the greens. The function hall seats up to 120, with heating and cooling, a fully equipped kitchen and smart TVs for presentations. It suits birthdays, celebrations and presentation nights, and the club can suggest a caterer or you can use the kitchen yourselves. Bookings for 18th and 21st birthdays and hens or stag nights are not accepted.

The friendliest and most lovely people. They really enjoy what they do. Great fun, bare foot bowling. Get a sausage and enjoy a beverage. The most incredible views of the bay, too.
