LBLBC Membership

About Membership

LBLBC Memberships are per person. There are no family, household, spousal, or youth memberships. Each person pays for a membership.

You do get a $35 break in a full membership fee if you are a primary member of another Bowls USA Lawn Bowling Club.

First Steps

If you're interested in joining Laguna Beach Lawn Bowling Club, but would first like to try the game before committing to joining, we offer one free introductory lesson to give you an idea if you would like to join. Please contact the club and arrangements for the lesson will be made with one of our certified club coaches.

Following the first lesson, if you decide that you do want to join, we will need your contact information, and payment of the dues (by either cash, check, or credit cards). Once payment is received, we'll order your name badge which will arrive at the club in less than 2 weeks.

After your 3 lessons are completed, you will receive a key to the club to use at your leisure.

Membership Benefits Include

access to the greens, clubhouse and equipment
key to the facilities
participation in club activities, division leagues and tournaments
opportunity to play at other clubs all over the world (for the local member fee)
the ability to invite guests to bowl with you

New Member Dues

New member dues are pro-rated quarterly from the yearly $250.00 dues (see fee schedule below). * Includes Southwest Division and Bowls USA dues.

If you join before the 20th of a month, your membership will commence the 1st day of that month and the fee for that month applies. Similarly, if you join after the 20th of the month, your membership will commence on the 1st day of the following month and the fee for that month applies.

In addition to member dues is an initiation fee of $50 which covers your name badge, club key, Bowls USA booklet, and lessons.

Note: If you're a new member and already a primary member of another club, if you pay prorated dues, you cannot also subtract the standard $35 discount for being a member of another club. If you pay full dues, you can. No double discounts...

Renewing Member Dues

If you're already a member, these fees are applicable throughout the year. No prorated fees except for the last 3 months of the year.

One year membership renewal: $250.00
Secondary club membership renewal: $250.00 - $35.00 = $215.00
To pay a secondary club price ($35.00 discount), you must be a full member of another club (primary). Please indicate the primary club name and phone number with your check or in the PayPal information field for verification purposes.
Spouses have to pay full price unless one of them is a full member at another club!
Returning members renewing in Oct, Nov, or Dec of the current year, pay $100 for the current year and full price for the following year. Approved by Board May 19th, 2021 meeting. (Note: Secondary club discount is considered only on the full membership fee.)

Payment Options

For both full and prorated fees, you can pay at the club (after your initial lesson) by check, credit card, or your PayPal account.
For full yearly renewals: The club can send you an invoice where you can pay by credit card or from your PayPal account.

Or, you can pay at the club by cash, check, or credit card. If nobody is in the office, simply put your cash or check into an envelope with 2022 Membership Renewal and your name written on it, seal it, and drop it into the mail slot at the club.

If paying by check, make it out out to LBLBC and indicate fee type (primary or secondary club) on the check.

Age Restrictions

Persons aged 12 – 20 years of age (youth) can join the club as members only if a parent or parents are members.
Parents must accompany their youth while at the club. Adults other than parents are not qualified to supervise youth at the club.
If any youth breaks the rules, the parents are responsible and depending upon the incident, their membership could be terminated with no refunds.
Youth are not allowed a key to the club until they become 21 years old.
Youth must complete at least 1 lesson from a qualified club coach and be certified by said coach before they can become members. (It might take 2 or 3 lessons before that happens. Up to the coach. We want to be sure the youth is bowling properly.)
Membership and renewal fees are the same for everybody at the club.

Guest Fees

Guest Fees are $3.00 per guest per day, which include access to clubhouse facilities, club bowls and the greens. A guest must be accompanied by a LBLBC member with a maximum of 6 guests per LBLBC member group. Fees are to be placed in envelopes provided in front of the office and deposited into the adjacent slot. A particular person may be a guest for at most 3 times during the year, after which that person must become a member to again utilize the club.
