Welcome to the Buninyong Bowling Club Website

(We are currently recruiting new members for the 2024-25 season - click here for recruitment flyer)

We are a medium-sized bowling club with about 90 full (affiliated) members and about 20 social members.  The Club is located in the beautiful township of Buninyong which lies at the foot of Mt Buninyong, about 11 km south of Ballarat.

Currently, we have two grass greens (see picture below), however, our smaller Bill Innes green will soon be replaced with a brand-new synthetic green. We hope work will commence on the new green early in 2025. The Club is a member of the Ballarat Highland Bowls Region (BHBR) and has 4 x Saturday pennant sides (Divisions 2, 3, 5 and 9) and 4 x Tuesday pennant sides (Divisions 1, 3, 4 and 5). Both pennant competitions are open competitions (i.e., they are open to women and men).  If pennant is not your go, we also have social bowls, Corporate Cup (Feb-March each year), tournaments, and Club games.

We have a very strong social environment. We usually catch up with other members every Friday night for drinks (4.00 pm - 9.00 pm) and the Stone Real Estate Ballarat & Buninyong Member's Draw. We have trivia nights, regular BBQs, and a punters' club during pennant season. Our relatively new clubrooms are a popular choice for weddings, parties, wakes and other such functions. Our afternoon teas during pennant season have become legendary within the region.

We have a lot to offer new and experienced bowlers and we would love to hear from you if are thinking about joining us. Just go to the "Governance' page to learn more about who and how we run the Club, or the 'Membership/Contact Us' page to see our membership fees or download a membership form. Go to the 'Gallery' page to see more pictures of our Club and members.
