Barefoot bowls and function rooms at a North Bondi club dating from 1933, with rinks for up to 10 players each and a bar and kitchen on site.

Lawn Bowls: What to Look For

North Bondi is the quieter, residential end of Bondi Beach, and a game of barefoot bowls suits its pace. Bondi Bowling Club sits at 1a Warners Avenue, next to Barracluff Park off Old South Head Road, and has been part of the local community since 1933. These days it is a relaxed spot for a group to roll a few ends, share a meal and have a drink, with verandah seating and outdoor picnic tables for anyone who would rather watch than bowl.

What to know before booking bowls in North Bondi:

Getting there: buses run from Bondi Junction, and parking around North Bondi gets tight on weekends, so allow extra time if you are driving.
The experience: all bowls are played barefoot to protect the greens, and the club is set up for a casual game rather than serious competition.
Group size: each rink takes up to 10 players, bigger groups can take several rinks, and the Main Hall holds 100 to 150 people for a function.
Booking ahead: rinks are booked online, and if the weather makes play unsuitable, management may credit your booking to another date or put it towards food and drinks.
Food and drinks: the club runs its own bar and kitchen, with weekly specials such as Taco Tuesday with margaritas and a Friday curry night.

Rinks cost from $150 per group for an hour, or $200 for two hours. Bowls are for guests aged 16 and over and children are not permitted on the greens, so check ages before you lock in a date. It suits birthdays, work get-togethers and casual celebrations where the group wants something easygoing at the northern end of the beach.

The Green Room holds 20 guests, or 50 when opened to the adjoining games area, with a private balcony over the greens and a fireplace.
The Piano Room takes 50, with big windows, a working fireplace and views of the bowling green.
The Main Hall is a public area for 100 to 150 people, with a stage, microphone and projector included.
Each space has a $500 minimum spend on catering.

Planning a bowls day in North Bondi

Book one rink per 10 players and add more for bigger groups.

Pick a night with a weekly special, such as the mid-week burger and beer deal, for an easy group meal after bowls.
Catch a bus from Bondi Junction on weekends, when parking in North Bondi is tight.
