CluBarham is the premier destination for bowls along the Murray River, which marks the border between New South Wales and Victoria in Australia.
In 2022, CluBarham significantly transformed its lawn bowls facilities, solidifying its position as a leading spot for the sport along the river. The overhaul introduced two brand-new, world-class synthetic 9-rink surfaces, both undercover, enabling recreational and competitive play year-round. Both greens are covered in Tiger Turf weave carpet, with the A greens running at approximately 14 to 14.5 and the B greens running around 16. This ensures excellent playing conditions with slight variations.
The Barham Bowling Club also boasts fully refurbished clubrooms, including a tournament office, amenities, improved parking facilities, beautifully landscaped surroundings, and gardens. The newly constructed modern complex is poised to host numerous significant bowls tournaments, providing a safe and friendly environment for our bowls club members, guests, and visitors to the region, where they can enjoy a game of bowls, a drink at the clubhouse bar, or dinner from the neighbouring Don’s Kitchen, which specialises in Chinese and Malaysian cuisine.
