Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We come to Trivia every Wednesday night, and I have to say what a fun night that is. We love our team, and the staff are amazing. We started out with just a few teams and now there is many many teams, and it seems to be growing weekly.
Congratulations to Glen and staff for the attention they have given us all you are what make our night so enjoyable. Let's Get Quizzical Team.

We were a large group of 20 who had the best afternoon lawn bowling in the sun. Glenn the Venue Manager was an absolute blast! He clearly explained all the rules and had 3 lanes all set up when we arrived with a sound system ready to go. We also had dinner there and it was delicious! Highly recommend you go say gidday to Glenn and the team and enjoy a classic Aussie afternoon on the greens. We will be back!

Staff were super friendly, lots of easy parking, great location and having recently moved nearby and being a supporter of the small clubs in all areas, I'd really like to support this one, but won't be unless the cook changes or they get a modern menu!
The offerings on the menu are from the 80s - deeply fried fish, chicken schnitzel, nachos and other equally unexciting, boring meals, served with small amount of tired greens. Two vegetarian offerings - nachos and Caesar salad - both very old hat. There wasn't even a pasta dish! Come on, do a bit of research and get some modern food on the menu, include beautiful fresh produce and stop frying everything. It doesn't have to be expensive, just a little imaginative. Hope when I go next time there will be a new, modern and just a tiny bit exciting menu!

We were staying at Surfers and it was a short ride on the light-rail to Southport - the bowls club is a two minute walk from the tram stop. We caught some terrific jazz in the bistro on the Monday night (1st & 3rd Mondays each month) and our meals were excellent - quick, inexpensive, good serves, and above all, tasty. Drinks were reasonably priced. A nice, friendly club offering great value for money.

Get a New Chef!!
If you like dry overcooked chips and unexciting, rubbery, dry fish-then this is the place for you-no wonder it was almost deserted!
We came as a group to listen to the music-we did not stay, and will not be back.

New bowlers always welcome. No experience necessary. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Bistro has yummy very reasonably priced meals. Loads of parking. Short walk to the tram. No need to be a member- simply sign in. Buy a souvenir polo shirt. Open 7 days a week. Club has great loan bowls. Several social comps a week, very well organized

Great little club. You don't get lost and the old members are a friendly bunch. If you are interested in playing bowls there is the Barefoot bowls which will lead you to playing competition is you so desire. Members seem to want to help with a hint or two, some helpful, and you become one of the bunch fairly quickly. Food is also very good .

Control freakish over what you can where and whether you have membership or not. Not for a casual visit.

Great place to hear live jazz from trios to big bands hosted by the Gold Coast City Jazz Club. Meal available and plenty of parking.
