Your Local Bowlo. Re-imagined.
Whether you bowl competitively or just want somewhere great to eat, drink, and belong — there's a membership for you.
Why Membership Matters
A Message from Our Secretary Manager
Most clubs on the Northern Beaches are subsidised by poker machines. Gaming revenue quietly funds the cheap drinks, the discounted meals, and the renovations.
The Bally doesn't generate a single dollar from gaming. That's a deliberate choice, and one we're proud of — but it does mean our memberships cost a little more than some venues you might be used to.
We think what you get in return is worth it.
Over the past few months, we've invested over $90,000 into transforming The Bally into somewhere you're genuinely proud to bring friends and family:
A brand new pizza oven and entirely new menu developed by our Hatted Chef
Service buzzers so your food and drinks come to you
A fully serviced coolroom, new ice machine, and refreshed postmix system
New linen, commercial fairy lighting, and 18 round banquet tables for functions
Expanded outdoor seating and upgraded membership systems
Green 1 overhaul - yep she’s looking mint!
We're not done. On the list for 2025: upgraded female bathrooms, better lighting, more outdoor seating, and additional outdoor fencing.
Every membership goes directly back into this club — for bowlers, for families, for the whole Northern Beaches community.
We think it's worth it. Do you?
If you've been in recently and noticed the difference, this is how you help us keep going. Thank you for your support.

🏆 NEW MEMBERS ENTER TO WIN
Lifetime Membership + Hatted Chef Private Dinner for 15 guests.
New Membership Promotion T&C’s
New Social memberships!
We have introduced two new membership tiers providing more value and discounts than ever.
Can’t find your card…
Visitors can enjoy The Bally up to three times before membership is required. At $25 a year, Bronze is the easiest way to keep the good times going — with 5% off food and drinks and Barefoot Bowling at $15 for 1.5 hours from day one.
Spend more than $13 a week? Silver pays for itself — and enters you in the draw to win $4,750 in prizes. Spend $30+? Gold is the smarter choice.
BRONZE BENEFITS
-
5% off all food & drinks during regular trading
-
$15 for 1.5hrs Barefoot Bowling
At $50 a year, Silver pays for itself if you're spending just $13 a week on food and drinks — with 7.5% off every visit and Barefoot Bowling at $12.50 for 1.5 hours.
But the real headline is the prize draw. Every Silver membership includes an entry to win a private Hatted Chef dining experience for 15 guests (valued at $3,750) and a Lifetime Membership (valued at $1,000) — $4,750 in prizes, from your local bowlo.
Spending $30 or more a week? Gold gives you 7x the draw entries, 10% off everything, priority seating, and a complimentary Bally T-shirt.

This is what it means to be a proper Bally regular.
At $150 a year, Gold pays for itself if you're spending $30 a week on food and drinks — with 10% off every visit and Barefoot Bowling at just $10 for 1.5 hours.
But Gold is about more than the discount. Priority seating when you book, a complimentary Bally T-shirt, and 7x entries into both prize draws — seven chances to win the Hatted Chef private dinner for 15 guests and seven chances at a Lifetime Membership. That's $4,750 worth of prizes, with the best odds in the room.
Currently discounted to $150 until end of April — usually $250. Lock it in now.
