Club Maroochy is a leader in many ways when it comes to the advancement of the game of lawn bowls here on the Sunshine Coast.

The very popular Bare Foot Bowls is played by a younger generation who enjoy the bowling facilities of the club along with the very popular Chinese Restaurant.

A deck at the front of the clubhouse was constructed prior to the club being closed down in March 2020 due to COVID-19.

This new deck provides an excellent viewing platform over the playing area.
