Welcome to Cobham Bowling Club (Surrey)!
We are a friendly club, playing lawn bowls in the summer and short mat indoors in the winter. We take part in leagues as well as internal competitions, but also provide the opportunity to play informally with other team members during the week. There are social events throughout the year. Why not drop in? You can try your hand at bowls, or maybe refresh your skills. We welcome new members to join us whether they are first time bowlers or have experience. Think about coming down as a family, we are happy to introduce young players to the sport. Check out our 'Contact Form' page to get in touch.
There is parking available outside the clubhouse but you must display a parking permit. If you are a visitor we can provide a temporary pass that is valid for the duration of your visit. As a member you will receive a parking permit.

Outdoor bowls:
Outdoor season at Cobham is now closed for 2023. Would you like to join us? Get in touch by giving us a call, or contacting us through our website. We'd be happy to see you.Why not play indoors on our mats until April when we'll be open for outdoor play again.
Play outdoors on our fabulous green from the end of April through to the end of September. Members can play on the green at any time provided that it is not booked for a match, if it is not in use for a roll up, or the groundsmen are not tending to it.
Practice sessions/roll-ups are Tuesday & Friday roll-ups 9.45am or Monday at 2pm. Coaching is also available on Monday afternoon but needs to be booked in advance by calling 01306 887692. Wednesday evenings are club evenings for our members, a great opportunity to play in the warm summers evenings, often followed by supper and a drink from the bar.
League matches - Friday afternoon for ladies, Tuesday afternoon for Men and Thursday afternoon mixed.
Our history:
Founded in 1932 and originally men only. Ladies started to bowl here in 1935 and we are pleased to report that they have done so ever since!
The Club originally had use of a groundsman hut which has long since been demolished. The adjacent park provided the Clubs next facility, which still stands today in the park next door - a brick pavilion. More photos can be seen on our FaceBook page.
Our current bespoke clubhouse opened in 1996. Read more...
