ABOUT PIRATES BOWLS

One of Jozi’s finest and most established bowls clubs!

We are a medium-sized, vibrant and friendly club enjoying both social and competitive bowls. As typical Pirates we are highly regarded for our friendliness and sporting approach to the way we play, although we remain competitive at all times. Our greens have recently undergone spring treatments as well as upgrades done inside the bar, the deck and the roof! We pride ourselves on balancing the traditions of the game with the need for the game to change and attract newer, younger bowlers.

A member-club of the  Johannesburg Bowls Association (JBA) we currently field three sides (Mens’ and Mixed) in the Saturday Leagues and a further two in Wednesday Leagues. Tabs are Saturday afternoons and Sunday mornings and you can generally catch a social game any given afternoon. We have two qualified coaches on hand to help you on your journey to greater bowls and our facilities boast one of Johannesburg, with a great bar as well as The Green Room for some delightful food.
