BOWLING FOR EVERYONE
Alvor Bowls Club welcomes bowlers of all ages and abilities and are always looking for new members. With us you can enjoy playing both socially and competitively.
The "Santo António Bowling Club" was originally founded in 1995 by José Martins da Silva aiming to promote a sport that was not well known in Portugal. This family owned green has a maximum capacity of 9 rinks and provides a wide variety of bowls experiences, from competitions, to tournaments and social bowls.
Much more than a business, our green is home of golden sunsets, spontaneous family dance contests and memorable parties. Here, the only thing blocking that sweet sun light might be a skydiver.
Lately at our club, competitions, Christmas games and community:
OPEN EVERY DAY
10 AM - 4 PM
Roll-up every Wednesday and Sunday at 11am (October to April) and 10am (May to September)
Crown Green roll-up every Tuesday from 2 pm.
