Where the greens meet the surf, Torquay Bowls Club is Geelong’s beachside community hub that’s as much about good times as it is about old-school bowls. Since opening in Taylor Park in the early 1920s, the club has grown to become one of the state’s largest—with bowling for pros and beginners alike, full bistro and bar services, and a deck overlooking Fisherman’s Beach that’s ideal for social gatherings. Tune into summer’s barefoot bowls sessions, with live local music every Sunday afternoon through the warmer months. The Bistro on the Green serves up modern Euro-Asian fare and great-value drinks against a dramatic coastline backdrop. With regular family-friendly events, barefoot bowls, and expansion plans—including a new green, bigger deck, and clubhouse—Torquay Bowls Club delivers heritage charm and hospitality in equal measure
