Welcome to the website of the Somerton Bowling Club, one of Adelaide's 'Premier' Bowling Clubs.
Our well-managed club continues to grow and prosper and our membership has passed 350 (and is still growing). Our greens are regarded as amongst the best in South Australia and our newly renovated clubhouse gives us (arguably) the best facilities of any bowling club in Adelaide both on and off the greens. Whether you want to play competitive bowls, enjoy the social activities or perhaps hire the facilities for a special occasion, Somerton is the club for you.

Club Championships:
Each season the club conducts Championship events in Singles, Pairs, Mixed Pairs, Handicap singles, 'B' Grade Singles, Veteran Singles & Veteran Pairs. Championship Singles & Championship Pairs winners can go forward to compete in the Bowls SA Champion of Club Champions tournaments.
