Barefoot bowls is one of the best earners a club has — birthdays, work dos, hens and bucks, Christmas parties and fundraisers, all paying to roll a few ends and have a drink. But it's usually run the hard way: the phone ringing off the hook, deposits chased by hand, a paper diary that double-books, and no-shows on a Saturday that leave rinks empty.
Club 360's barefoot bowls booking system puts the whole thing online. You publish a booking form on your website; groups choose a date and time, pay a deposit by card, and receive a confirmation and a reminder automatically. The right number of rinks is held for the group's size, catering and add-ons are built in, and your weather policy is handled — so your team can get back to running the club.
From enquiry to paid, without a phone call
Here's what your customer does — and what happens automatically behind the scenes.
They book online
The group picks a date, time and party size on your booking form. Rinks are reserved to match the headcount.
They pay a deposit
A card deposit is taken on the spot, straight to your bank, and your terms and conditions are agreed.
They're reminded
An automatic SMS or email lands before the day, so far fewer groups forget or fail to show.
They pay the balance
The balance is settled from the same secure link — no cash on the day, no chasing afterwards.
Everything a barefoot booking needs
Your own booking form
Publish a barefoot bowls form on your website with the fields and questions you choose.
Deposits & balances by card
Take a deposit at booking and the balance later — both straight into your club's bank account.
SMS & email reminders
Automatic reminders before the day mean far fewer costly no-shows on the green.
Group-size logic
Set your own rule — for example one rink per sixteen guests — and the right rinks are held automatically.
Add-ons & catering
Offer BBQ packs, platters, bowls hire, a coach or a bar tab as optional extras on the booking.
Weather policy built in
Handle hot-day and washout cancellations on your own terms, agreed up front by the customer.
Fewer empty rinks, more revenue
Online deposits commit the group, automatic reminders cut no-shows, and add-ons lift the average spend per booking. The hours your volunteers used to spend on the phone go back into running the club.
Built for clubs, not a generic booking app
You keep the money
Payments are processed securely and settle into your club's own bank account. Club 360 never holds your funds.
Functions, all in one
Bigger group? Run it as a full function booking with room hire, quotes and contracts in the same system.
One shared calendar
Barefoot bookings sit beside your member rink bookings, so a green is never double-booked.
Made in Australia
Built for the way Australian clubs sell barefoot bowls, with Australian support behind it.
Barefoot bowls booking FAQ
How do online barefoot bowls bookings work?
You publish a barefoot bowls booking form on your website. A group selects a date, time and party size, pays a deposit by card, and agrees to your terms. The right number of rinks is held automatically, a reminder is sent before the day, and the balance is paid through the same secure link — all without a phone call.
Can customers pay a deposit and balance by card?
Yes. You can take a deposit at the time of booking and the balance later. Payments are processed securely and go straight into your club's own bank account — Club 360 never holds the money.
Will it reduce no-shows?
It's designed to. A paid deposit commits the group, and an automatic SMS or email reminder before the booking is one of the simplest, most effective ways to cut the costly Saturday no-show.
How many rinks does a group need?
You set the rule that suits your club — many clubs use one rink for every sixteen guests, including non-bowlers. Club 360 then holds the right number of rinks based on the party size the customer enters.
Can we offer catering and add-ons?
Yes. Offer BBQ packs, platters, bowls hire, a coaching introduction or a bar tab as optional extras. They're added to the booking and the total, lifting your average spend per group.
What happens if it's too hot or it rains?
Your weather and cancellation policy is shown and agreed when the booking is made, so hot-day and washout situations are handled on your own terms, clearly and in writing.
