Club Mooloolaba - barefoot bowls on the Sunshine Coast

From $15pp

Hens and bucks groups often turn up in matching outfits or costumes, since dress-ups are welcome on the green as long as footwear rules are kept.

Lawn Bowls: What to Look For

Barefoot bowls is the coast's most relaxed group activity: nobody needs skill, the rules take five minutes to learn, and conversation carries on between ends. On the Sunshine Coast it centres on a club green in Mooloolaba, close to the beach and the Mooloolah River.

Expect to pay from about $15 per person for a game, with food and drinks priced separately.

To plan a good afternoon on the green, think about:

Timing: an afternoon or twilight start avoids the hottest part of a humid summer day, while winter afternoons are mild and dry.
Shade and cover: ask whether a covered green or rink is available, which helps when a summer storm builds.
Coaching: an instructor-led session gets beginners bowling quickly and keeps a mixed group laughing rather than lost.
Food: club bistros and platters make it simple to turn a game into a long lunch or early dinner.
Footwear: flat soles or bare feet are the rule on the green, so mention it on the invite.

Lawn bowls suits Christmas parties, relaxed birthdays and farewells, and a team-building day for people who would rather not run around.

Work groups with a wide age range, since everyone starts on the same footing.
Birthdays where the host wants something to do without a high-energy activity.
Hens and bucks groups looking for a laid-back first stop before dinner in Mooloolaba.
Families, as clubs generally welcome children on the green with an adult alongside.
