Carnoustie Bowling Club was founded in 1875 and has been operating continuously at the same address since then. Although the clubhouse has undergone many changes over the years the green has changed very little apart from being upgraded to conform to the rules of the modern game. The green is still one of the biggest single greens in the area and can accommodate 8 full size rinks with space to spare. At 43 metres it is also one of the longest playing surfaces in this district.
