Clubs to visit this summer – Tropical North Queensland
We continue our series scanning the country for the clubs you need to visit this summer, with Tropical North Queensland next in focus.
Mackay
Self-dubbed as ‘more than just a bowls club’, there’s plenty of reasons to visit the North Mackay Bowls Club. Besides their magnificent undercover complex, get great discounts at their restaurants and bars, take part in some fantastic members promotions plus loads more!
Located south-west of Mackay in Walkerston, West Tigers is the latest bowls club in Australia to have constructed a spectacular, eight-rink covered carpeted green. It is attached to the West Tigers Leagues Club and you can be assured of it being open seven days a week for meals and refreshments. Barefoot bowlers and visitors are always welcome.
Cairns
Marlin Coast Bowls Club at Trinity Beach is a fantastic place to take in not only a game of bowls, but some iconic Australian wildlife. Home to countless kangaroos, the club is the perfect location for the animal lovers and families alike, with the undercover venue offering barefoot bowls and a sausage sizzle every Tuesday from 5.30pm. Competitive games are also on offer from Tuesday through to Saturday.
West
Mount Isa is home to two great clubs where you will experience true Queensland country hospitality!
Be sure to slip, slop, slap and have a great time at either Leichhardt Services or Mt. Isa ‘The Island’.

Blair Athol Clermont Bowls Club
A small club with a big heart, Blair Athol Clermont Bowls Club is located Issac Region approximately 275km from Mackay. Home to a beautiful grass green and the fresh country air, it’s not uncommon for people to leave their mobile phones and all their cares outside when they venture into this little gem.
