Holmesdale Bowls Club provides all the necessary equipment for playing lawn bowls, including bowls, mats, jacks, and scorecards.

During the winter season (October to March), the club is open from 10am to 2pm, seven days a week. The club tends to be busier on weekends, especially on sunny days, but there is usually plenty of space for members to play during the week. We recommend booking a rink in advance to avoid disappointment.

    Lovely people. A very friendly club. Decent amount of parking right by the Clubhouse. The green was better than decent, but not excellent, though I am comparing it with my own Club where I am spoilt by the standard of the green. I had a very enjoyable afternoon's bowls at Holmesdale.
