Green Bowling in Nairobi Club

Not all amazing bowling should be done in the conventional mall bowling alleys. If you’re looking for a different bowling experience altogether, then The Nairobi Club should be way up on your list.

In green bowling, the objective for each player is to roll the biased balls (wood) so that they stop close to a smaller white ball called (jack). The person/team whose “wood/s” (bowling ball) rolls nearest the jack, wins the round. Sounds fun, right?

This also gives you the chance to enjoy your favourite game outdoors! Charges are Sh 150 for members and 200 shillings for non-members
