Green & Clubhouse
Situated at the edge of Stone our clubhouse and green are housed in a picturesque setting, enjoying commanding views over Stone, the Shropshire Hills and The Wrekin.
Our modern club house, completed in 2008, comprises changing room, toilets, disabled toilet, kitchen, office and function room, making it a splendid venue for the club’s bowling and social activities. We also have our own private car park.
The immaculately kept green measures an impressive 35.5m square.
The wellbeing of our members is of paramount importance. We have a team of qualified first-aiders and a defibrillator is housed in the clubhouse foyer.
Both Green & Clubhouse are maintained by the voluntary efforts of members.
