About Newbie Bowls

Bowls, but cooler.

Newbie Bowls is the coolest new craze to hit the Cape — a fresh, social spin on one of the oldest games around. Think sunshine, good vibes, cold drinks, and loads of laughs.

Each Newbie Bowls Day is a fully organised event with round-robin action, epic semi-finals and finals, friendly marshals, all your equipment, great music, clubhouse and bar facilities, prizes, and plenty more.

All you have to do is show up, chill out, and have fun!

Bowls is Fun for Everyone

No experience needed — seriously! Bowls is easy to learn, fun to play, and perfect for any age. Bring a pair of flat shoes (or kick them off and play barefoot) and get ready to roll.

  • John hosted a farewell

    A good friend of mine recently left for Australia and we decided to send him off with a day of bowling. About twenty of us enjoyed an awesome day at Mowbray Bowls club.

    The majority of us had never played bowls, let alone after a couple of beverages-lots of beverages due to the dirt cheap prices. Everybody was catered for in terms of having their own set of bowls.

  • Kathy had a 21st party

    After two years people are still talking about the bowls 21st and asking for another one. It was an excellent way of accommodating young and old. Everybody could participate and all who did had fun.

    We were amazed at how people entered into the spirit, dressing up in team colours and arranging teams before the day. The spectacular setting also adds to the enjoyment of the celebration.

  • Coulters played summer league

    Once again we entered 2 teams in your Newbie competition and had a wonderful time Mowbray. Once again the competition was well run and we managed to finish before the sun went down.

    We are looking forward to the next competition in October and perhaps we should arrange to have a couple of warm-ups before then. Newbiebowls is synonymous with the arrival of summer, sundowners and boerie rolls.
