We provide all members with the opportunity to engage in this traditional sport which has shown, in recent years, an increase in popularity amongst South Africa’s younger generation. The Glen Country Club provides multiple bowling greens with overwhelming views within a peaceful and natural habitat.

These greens are located at both our Clifton venue as well as our Green Point Sports Recreation Centre.
