Competition Bowls
We’re thrilled to tell you about our fantastic Tiger Turf undercover green. It’s brilliant for achieving that perfect roll and draw on your bowl.
We’ve also got a high-tech roof and surrounds that are absolutely top-notch. No matter what the weather’s like outside, you’ll always have first-class playing conditions here. Rain or shine, we’ve got you covered!
We’ve got loads of different competitions to choose from, and visiting registered bowlers are welcome . So why not come down and give it a go? We’d love to see you here, having a great time and enjoying our facilities.
Week Day Competitions:
Let’s chat about our exciting bowling schedule!
We host pairs competitions every Monday. 2x4x2 format, with the first game being 70 minutes and the second being 12 ends. With our pairs competitions, we’d love it if you could organise your own team. But we can sometimes squeeze in individual bookings too.
Fridays are our laid-back, social bowling days. Just pop in and sign up by 9:30 am, and we’ll get the bowls rolling at 10 am. We usually play triples, but hey, we’ll mix it up depending on how many players show up. And don’t forget, we take a break for lunch to keep you fueled up for your second game.
Fees
We know every penny counts, and we’ve done our best to keep things affordable while still maintaining our top-notch facilities. If you’re part of our Dandenong Club Bowls Section (and that includes our awesome dual members), you’ll pay $10.00 per player. For our friends visiting from other clubs, it’s $12.00 per player.
Night Competitions
Jack Attack
Jack Attack aims to give novice bowlers a fun, social, and yet fierce weekly competition where everyone is competing for a nonprofit of their choice. It’s triples format on Wednesday Nights, and there are two sections of 8 teams where everyone plays each other once, and then finals. In addition to that, we give out fantastic prizes each week; which may include DC merchandise, vouchers, and more!
Combo Fives
Club Combo Fives was launched by Dandenong Club for players looking for a bit more action on the green in the offseason. Teams require five players and each team is allocated two rinks. Played on Wednesday Nights, the competition features four formats each week, singles, pairs, triples, and fours. The style of scoring in the pairs and triples means that more bowls count each match.

Who can play
Just a friendly heads-up: while everyone’s welcome to enjoy our club, only registered bowlers from a club can join in on the organised competitions or social games. But don’t worry, we keep things casual here – mufti dress is totally fine

How to Book Competition play
Booking opens a week before each event. It’s a good idea to book early so you don’t miss out.
We’ve set up an easy online booking system for you. There’s even a handy tablet outside the bowls shop if you need it. Our staff are always happy to help you use the tablet or your phone to book, but we can’t take verbal bookings. We’re trying to keep things fair and organized for everyone.
The best part? When you book online, you’ll get an email to confirm your spot and a friendly text reminder the day before. No more forgetting your game day!
Team bookings get priority unless we’ve specifically nominated the event as “single entry only”. If you are on your own (except on Fridays), you will need to give our friendly bowls shop team a quick ring on the day to confirm. They’ll let you know if we have a spot for you.
