Kick off your shoes and try our barefoot bowling
With 10 lawn bowling rinks available to hire 7 days a week, we'll be sure to have your group baring feet in no time. No matter what age or ability, our social bowling green is accessible for all to play lawn bowls!
Our social lawn bowls green is situated right in front of the clubhouse, meaning you'll have prime access to our bar and public beer garden area. Please note our top green (Rinks 1- 8) is for members only and not available for public or event use.

Specifics
Hire times
2 hour duration, on the hour bookings
Rink Capacity
Each rink may have 8-10 people playing at one time. Groups must hire an adequate number of rinks for the expected amount of guests. This is to ensure your group has enough space on our bowling banks, prevent damage to the green and walkways and doorways remain accessible.
Requirements for bowling
The only requirement is footwear - you can have bare feet, socks or any flat soled shoe (no heels, wedges or spikes allowed). Strictly no drinking, eating or smoking on the green.

“Thank you events team and the bowling club for allowing us the use of the green and marquee area for our crackerjack function. Everything went very smoothly and everyone had fun. We raised over a thousand dollars on the night so successful all round”
-Review from Patricia Morton - Rotary, March 2021
“I wanted to thank-you for having our group this past Friday. Everyone had such a great time, and the catering was really well received, very delicious!”.
-Review from Karolina, March 2021
“I just wanted to email to say thank you for your help in organising the function for my birthday party last Saturday night. My guests and I had a fantastic night. The quality and variety of the finger food provided by Jack of Clubs Catering was excellent. The bar staff in the club rooms did a fantastic job. They made us feel very welcome and they were very accommodating.”

“As visitors to Melbourne we first tried Flagstaff Bowling Club. They were unwelcoming and inhospitable. Not what you expect to find. We went on to Fitzroy Bowling Club. What a contrast....a warm friendly welcome from the staff and club members. A far nicer club house and green. A great venue for a group party or just a roll up”.
