Torrensville Bowling Club

Last updated February 2026

Torrensville Bowling Club is a traditional lawn bowls club located on Dennis Mutton Drive in Thebarton, just west of Adelaide's city centre. The club welcomes families and offers an introduction to the gentle sport of lawn bowls on well-maintained greens. It's an ideal spot for a relaxed family outing where multiple generations can play together at their own pace. The club provides a community atmosphere typical of Adelaide's suburban bowling clubs, with facilities that cater to both serious players and casual visitors looking to try something different. **What to Bring** Flat-soled shoes or bowling shoes if you have them. Hat and sunscreen for outdoor play. Water bottle as games can take an hour or more. **Best Age Range** Suits ages 8 and up best, as younger children may struggle with the coordination and patience required. Particularly good for tweens, teens and adults who want to try a traditional Australian sport together. **Good to Know** On-street parking available along Dennis Mutton Drive. Call ahead to arrange coaching or equipment hire for beginners. Club has basic facilities including toilets and a small clubhouse. Games typically run longer than expected, so allow 2-3 hours for a proper session. **Tips From Other Parents** Visit on a weekday afternoon when it's quieter and club members have more time to help beginners. Wear closed shoes with flat soles - no thongs or heels allowed on the greens. Don't rush the kids - bowls is about precision and patience rather than speed.
