Lawn Bowls: What to Look For

Barefoot bowls is one of the most relaxed group outings in Perth: a club green, a bar a few steps away and a game anyone can pick up in minutes. It suits work socials, Christmas functions and birthdays where people want to chat more than compete.

Club bowls is usually booked as a package of green time with food and drinks from the clubhouse, and clubs quote per booking, so ask for a price.

Points to compare between clubs:

Location – one club sits in North Perth close to the city and another faces Fremantle Park, so pick the one nearer most of your guests.
Group size – larger clubs can handle a crowd well into the hundreds across several greens, while smaller ones suit a team or a family gathering.
Lighting – lit greens let you play after dark, which is welcome in summer once the worst of the heat has passed.
Indoor space – a hall or function room gives you somewhere to eat and somewhere to retreat if the weather turns.
Catering – ask whether the club offers a BBQ, platters or a set menu, and whether you can arrange your own food.

Clubs on this page take corporate bookings, and one also hosts birthdays. For more ideas, see the team-building guide or Christmas party venues.

Hot, dry afternoons make a twilight start the more comfortable choice, especially on a lit green.
Bring hats and sunscreen, keep water on hand and ask the club where the nearest shade is.
Near the coast the afternoon sea breeze can cool things down, but it also nudges a light bowl off line.
Late spring and summer are the busy season for social bowls, so book a green well before end-of-year functions.

What to ask the club

Ask how many greens and how many hours of play the booking includes.
Check whether a club member will show the group the basics and keep an eye on the rules.
Confirm the bar trading hours and whether there is a minimum spend on food or drinks.
Find out the wet-weather plan between May and September, when most of Perth's rain falls.
Ask whether children can play, since some clubs welcome families on the green.

Clubs on this page quote per booking rather than listing a set price, so send your numbers, preferred date and food needs and ask for a package price.

No. Barefoot bowls is designed for beginners, and clubs usually give a quick run-through of the basics before play starts.

Is lawn bowls a good choice for a Christmas or team function?

What happens to a bowls booking if it rains?

Ask the club about its wet-weather policy. Winter is when most rain falls, and a hall or function room gives you a fallback.
