History

 

The original Bowls facilities in Hughenden were commenced in the 1930’s near the powerhouse.

 

The Club moved to its current site in the 1960’s when the Clubhouse was also constructed.

 

The Men’s and Ladies Clubs merged in the early 1990’s.

 

The original tift-dwarf green was replaced by a synthetic green in 2008 as smaller numbers and the cost of water had rendered the natural surface uneconomic.

 

A retractable shade structure was erected in 2013.

​

The Hughenden Chamber of Commerce (first Monday) holds their monthly meeting at the Clubhouse. The Hughenden Show Society meet on an ad-hoc basis.
