We have 2 natural greens which are considered to be the best in Nelson. The Club is a member of Clubs New Zealand with our members enjoying visiting privileges to approximately 300 clubs across the country. The Club has excellent facilities which are available for hire for corporate and private functions and this can include playing bowls. 2024 means that the Club is celebrating its 75th anniversary and a number of activities are planned to be held over Labour Weekend in 2024.

If you would like to try your hand at the game of bowls come along during the season (there is usually somebody around the Club most days) or call us on +64 3 5477440. You can be sure to receive a warm welcome. Friday Mufti is played most Fridays and is a good way to learn to play bowls in a relaxed atmosphere. have your name in by 12.45pm for a 1.00pm start. There is a small charge for participation. After you have participated in the Friday Mufti why not stay on at the Club.

Various activities are held on a Friday night including Corner to Corner, quizzes, nibbles to eat and other activities from time to time. It is also a great way to meet other Club members.
