Our Club

Community!

Situated in Heisler Park over looking the Pacific, our club, established in 1931, has the  largest membership in the USA and the Americas.

Experience!

We bowl with soft ocean breezes and the occasional whale watching opportunity.

Play!

Laguna Beach Lawn Bowling Club members, young, old, novice, or veteran enjoy both social and tournament bowls. We provide ongoing complimentary lessons in basics, strategy, etiquette and team games. We are proud to have 100% Bowls USA membership.

Hours!

As our club has no outside lighting, bowling is restricted to the daylight hours. Members may utilize the clubhouse and locker room from sunrise to 1 hour after sunset.

The Game Of Lawn Bowls

The game of Lawn Bowls is played on a green that is 120 feet square. There are eight rinks to a green. The boundaries for each rink are the two orange markers on either side of the number.


The object is to score points by rolling your bowls closer to the target ball (the jack) than your opponent. Bowls is scored by "ends" (similar to baseball's innings). The player or team with the most points after all ends of a match are played is declared the winner.

 

The basic equipment is a matched set of four "bowls" and each set has a design on both sides that is different from other the sets of bowls. They come in sizes from 00 to 7 and weigh between 3-4 pounds. Traditionally bowls have been black but many players now use colored bowls. Players wear flat soled shoes to avoid damaging the greens.


Teams can be made up of 1, 2, 3 or 4 players. Matches with one player per team are Singles matches and each player rolls 4 bowls each.  Two person teams are Pairs and also roll 4 bowls each, three persons (Triples) roll 3 bowls each and four persons (Rinks) roll 2 bowls each.  


Team positions are LEAD, VICE and SKIP for three person teams. The Skip, also known as the Director, determines the strategy. Bowlers take turns rolling the bowls by the position of the team member.


There are thirty lawn bowling clubs in Southern California, from south in San Diego to north in Cambria. Bowling greens and lawn bowling have been a part of our extended community since the early twentieth century.  Check out our club's history here.

Bowling Activities

Social Bowls

Tournament Level/League Prep Bowls

Tournament Level/League Prep Bowls

Throughout the year, our members have 4 opportunities each week to join one another in a relaxed social atmosphere for a single 10 to 12-end game. These outings are called Social Bowls. These fun gatherings are open to all members without pre-registration. New members are especially welcomed and encouraged to come and learn from the seasoned bowlers. The Social Bowl schedule is as follows:


  • Tuesdays 10:00-12:00
  • Saturdays 10:00-12:00
  • Sundays 10:00-12:00
  • Thursdays 2 hours prior to sunset till sunset. Sunset Pot Luck Bowls. Check the Reserve Page for the exact time.


Always check the Social Calendar to make sure the outing you're interested in hasn't been cancelled due to a special event.
