 Over the years Buck Hill has achieved national and international fame for its lawn bowling facilities. In 1931 the first bowling greens were installed. The pairs format was founded at Buck Hill for the American Lawn Bowls Association (ALBA) in 1958, and pairs as well as singles for the American Women’s Lawn Bowls Association (AWLBA) in 1977. The United States singles and pairs championships were held at Buck Hill i n 1997, and in 1998 Buck Hill hosted the U.S. Championship Playdowns. Buck Hill Falls also hosted the 2001 U.S. Championships.
Walt Disney bowled in the Buck Hill Open in 1964 and William (Bill) Hay of Amos & Andy fame was announcer from 1960-1969. SOCIAL/OPEN BOWLING
Residents may participate in open bowling all other times that do not conflict with the scheduled bowling events.
The weather is getting warmer and we will soon be bowling again. We hope our seasoned bowlers will return, as well as those who have never bowled. Our lawn bowlers are an entertaining group, and we look forward to new members who enjoy spirited good times.
