Lawn Bowls: What to Look For

Lane Cove Bowling Club has been rolling bowls on Burns Bay Road since 1952, when it opened as Lane Cove West Bowling Club, and it is now the only competitive bowls club left in Lane Cove. Non-members are welcome on the greens, and barefoot bowls is how most groups come in: a relaxed afternoon on the grass with a drink in hand, where nobody needs to have played before. It suits a birthday, a team outing or a catch-up where some of the group would rather sit on the patio than bowl.

What to know before you book in Lane Cove:

  • Getting there: the club is on Burns Bay Road in Lane Cove West. Buses run to the city and Chatswood, and parking is easy by city standards, with plenty nearby for the function hall.
  • The experience: barefoot bowls with all equipment supplied, and club members are happy to show newcomers the basics of grip, line and weight before you start.
  • Group size: the separate street-level function hall seats up to 70, and an undercover patio links the clubhouse to the outdoor area, so a bigger group can spread out.
  • Booking lead time: book ahead and set up a bar tab at the same time, then settle it by cash or card at the end. The club does not accept Diners or American Express.
  • Food and drinks: the downstairs bar is fully stocked at club prices, and outside there is a newer BBQ and outdoor bar with a fridge.

Barefoot bowls starts from $15 per person. For a work group, the club can supply a Bluetooth sound system, large-screen TVs or a projector screen, which makes it easy to fit in a few speeches or a short presentation before heading out onto the green. Dogs are allowed in some outdoor areas under the club's conditions of entry, and the BBQ area makes it an easy place to linger once the last end is played.
