Howick Bowling Club is a bowling club at 33 Selwyn Road in Cockle Bay, Auckland, with a history that goes back to 1907, when a private bowling and croquet club was formed on a property in Uxbridge Road. The club moved to its present site on the edge of Nixon Park, and its clubhouse opened in 1974. It has five greens, three natural grass and two artificial all-weather, and the club says it is one of the largest in Auckland. It has been named Club of the Year in 2003, 2013 and 2016. The women's bowling club shares the facilities. In the 1980s the clubs raised a $1 million plan to rebuild the clubhouse and convert the old croquet greens into two all-weather bowling greens. Memberships for the 2026/27 season are open through the club's sign-up link, and the club posts news, events and member spotlights on its Facebook page. Our pick in Cockle Bay for a bowler who wants a large club with a long history and all-weather greens.
