Welcome visitors
Whether you are from one of the Bay Area’s many fine lawn bowling clubs, one of Berkeley’s many temporary residents, or a footloose world traveler you are most welcome to bowl with us. Our fees are quite modest. Just check in with someone at the club.
The club holds draw games every Wednesday and Friday. We ask that you arrive by 10:45 AM for 11:00 AM start times. On weekends, there are frequently club members on the green during lessons so please drop by and join us.
Of note for Club Members
In this space, we hope to provide information to keep club members informed about upcoming events, parties, and tournaments plus information about the condition of the green or new member photos. Members are encouraged to check in here to get the latest news.

Your Event on Our Green
Our facilities are available for your event! If you are interested in a team building experience, novel reception, or simply an organized, private lawn bowling event, contact us. The clubhouse can accommodate groups of up to 50 for dinners or meetings. The modest kitchen has a gas range and refrigerator.
The clubhouse adjoins the green.
Indoor seating is available for several dozen guests.
If you want to offer lawn bowling instruction to your guests, BLBC will arrange for coaches to give individualized instruction. Basic rules and mechanics of the game can be covered in just a few minutes. Normally, our students are involved in a game within the first 15 minutes.
The basic techniques are easy to lean, and quickly entertaining.
Past events have seen buffet lunches served on the patio or an expresso cart providing just enough caffeine to keep the crowd enthused.
Folks enjoy watching the games from the veranda
Rental pricing is $25.00 per guest (non-bowling children are not charged) with a $300 minimum for the event. This pricing is based upon facility rental of three hours and includes instruction for lawn bowling, all equipment, volunteer BLBC coaches, private use of the clubhouse, kitchen, patio, and bowling green. Add $50 for each additional hour after 3 hours. There is also a small cleaning deposit.
If you would like more information , send an email to: [email protected] (Subject: Events Coordinator). Please contact us at least four weeks before the date of your event. We’ll do our best to accommodate you!
