Newcastle
Established in 1892 and located within walking distance to the Newcastle CBD and harbour, Lowlands Bowling Club is one steeped in history. The club’s interior has been transformed into a modern and trendy venue for drinks and food, perfect for one of the busiest barefoot venues in Newcastle. With two synthetic greens, you can enjoy year-round bowls, plus a great undercover barbeque area.
Situated upon the waterfront of Lake Macquarie, Australia’s largest coastal saltwater lake, the Valentine Bowls Club can boast one of the best club views across the nation to compliment their modern facilities. They have a strong bowling membership of just over 300 and offer both grass and synthetic playing surfaces.
Hunter
Another picturesque location with a home in Maitland Park, ‘The Park’ was established in 1902. Continuing to modernise its facilities, Maitland Park offers great food and drink as a very popular barefoot location.
