Become a MemberAbout the Club
Auburn Bowls Club was formed in 1886 and has a long history in Boroondara. It was established by Augustus Fritsch and a number of former members of other clubs, with the Fritsch-Holzer brickmaking firm leasing the club its grounds in the early years.
Today, we are ideally located in the heart of Hawthorn East, close to public transport and local shopping villages. While honouring our rich heritage, we continue to welcome new members of all ages and backgrounds to join our friendly community.
Whether you're here to compete in pennant, enjoy a social game, or relax with friends at a barefoot bowls event, you'll find a warm welcome at one of Melbourne's most historic clubs.
