In 1953 a bowling green committee was formed and the Royal Western Australian Bowls Association was asked for advice on how to best proceed. The piece of land designated for the bowling green was rather wet, so it was decided in August 1953 to try growing a potato crop on it to raise a bit more money.

In October 1954 six inches of topsoil was taken off the green area in an attempt to get rid of all the kikuyu roots. This was a big help but not the entire answer. In the next three years spraying was done on at least two occasions. Meanwhile, the Water Board was sounded out about the chances of using water from the town reserve opposite the club, for irrigation.

In 1957 the bowling green committee was able to get the Roads Board engineer and equipment to come and grade the green fairy level.

In July 1960 the grounds committee, Bill Donaldson, Clem Ryan, Neville Earl, Tom Hick and Joe Fogarty were asked to visit other bowls clubs and draw up a cost estimate. From their research that was one thousand pounds.

In February 1961 it was moved that the club start work on the bowling green, allocating two hundred and fifty pounds as a starter.

In 1962 runners were harvested small pieces of Leeuwin couch, found near Augusta water wheel and carefully sown. Months of care and hand-and-knees weeding followed.

In March 1963 after a final fill, levelling and topdressing with sand from the Earl's paddock, the exciting moment arrived when a notice could be put on the board that bowls play would start on Saturday 9 March. Proud members lost no time inviting Margaret River bowlers to Cowaramup for a return social match on 21 April 1963.

The official opening of the green was set for 1 February 1964. The social club donated five pounds to by trophies for the matches to be held on the opening day. This was matched by Augusta and Margaret River bowls clubs for a suggested competition between the three clubs. A barbecue tea followed the games. Everyone who had in any way contributed to the successful achievement of the green was thanked and had every right to be proud of themselves.

A trip to an evening bowls match in Busselton was so pleasant tht the Cowaramup bowlers began to investigate the possibility of putting lights on their own green. This did eventually happen in the season of 1956 using wooden poles.

A mixed pairs competition was set up in October 1966 and has been held every year since then, making it the club's longest running sponsored competition.

In 1970 the social club allowed the bowlers t erect a small flagpole on the end gable of the club hall. The bowlers decided to get an Australian flag and have a pennant made in the Cowaramup colours of maroon and gold with the initials C.B.C.

In 1974 a small office and storeroom was added on the outside of the south-east corner of the hall with a verandah wrapping around the eastern end of the hall and part way along the northern side.

A lot of work was done on the surface of the green in 1976, and the ditches and plinths were improved.

In 1988, members decided to remove the hedge along the border of the green, as well as the south side's wobbly picket fence and replace it with Super 66 fencing.

In 1993, the Bowls Club registered maroon and gold as their club colours.

In 1995 the bowlers set up a Corporate Competition. Teams are generally made up from people who work tgoether, but are not necessarily regular bowls players.

In 1998 the Bowls Club voted to have their own distinctive club uniform with a pocket logo, adapting the schools logo of the purple crowned lorikeet, known as the Cowara.

The job of preparing the green for play was becoming very difficult, so it was decided in 2003 to remove it and replant with Santa-Anna couch from a turf farm. To make sure that none of the old grass would contaminate the new growth it was first poisoned. Never ones to miss an opportunity for a bit of money raising, the bowls club organised a Cow-Pat Lotto. The dead green was marked off into squares, each square numbered and tickets were sold. When all was ready a cow, on a long lead was allowed to wander on the hallowed turf where after about 45 minutes she obliged with a neat oat right in Square 1. Committeeman Andrew Green carried off the $410 prize money.

In 2004, the dead turf was cut and skimmed off, then carted away by Bill Goddard with the help from some bowlers. A large group of corporate and regular bowlers then turned out to plant the new runners. After alot of water and tender loving care the green was fully functional in time for the summer season that year.
