About LawnBowls.com

Built to connect more people with bowls

LawnBowls.com helps players discover clubs, games and tournaments—and gives bowling clubs practical tools to be found, share what is happening and welcome more people onto the green.

One platform. Two groups.

How it started

A note from Paul

I launched LawnBowls.com in late 2024 with a simple goal: send more people through the doors of bowling clubs around the world.

I had been a bowls coordinator at a small volunteer-run club with effectively no digital budget. I saw firsthand how difficult it could be for a good club—or a great local game—to reach the people who would enjoy it.

Clubs are important parts of their communities. I wanted to build something that could help them be seen, while giving bowlers one useful place to find where to play and what is coming up.

“I built LawnBowls.com for bowlers and for the clubs that make the game possible.”
01

For bowlers and newcomers

Discovery should be simple whether you play every week or have never held a bowl.

Find the right club

Search club profiles by location and learn about greens, facilities, accessibility and visitor information.

See what’s happening

Discover social bowls and tournaments near home or around a place you plan to visit.

Keep clubs close

Save clubs, follow their updates and build a private record of places where you have played.

Learn the game

Use plain-language guides, formats and the bowls glossary to make the sport easier to understand.

02

For clubs and volunteers

Useful digital visibility should not depend on having a marketing department.

A place to be discovered

Every club can have a profile with its contact information, facilities, playing details, photos and the local information visitors need.

Tools to publish activity

Club representatives can claim their profile, keep it accurate and add social bowls and tournaments to reach nearby players.

More reasons to visit

The richer a club’s information and event listings become, the more useful its profile is to bowlers deciding where to play.

LawnBowls.com today

More than a directory

The platform now connects club discovery, What’s On Near Me, member relationships, event publishing and the LawnBowls mobile app. The work continues, guided by what is genuinely useful to bowlers and manageable for club volunteers.
