The club made the announcement on Tuesday, outlining what visitors will need to do in order to safely attend the centre.
"It is challenging times that we are facing," tenpin bowl owner Marisa Belmonte said.
"These conditions will be the type of conditions that may have to be put into place for any competitions that are held or involve travel from different areas.
"We want to still see bowlers bowl and enjoy competing locally, regionally and at a state level."
Belmonte thinks that the ongoing commitment people show to these guidelines, the more likely it is that events will continue to run in the region.
"We hope with everyone's understanding and show of commitment and support, events like championships and tournaments will continue to go ahead.
"We at the OTBA committee and Orange Tenpin Bowl thank you in advance for the understanding of what we have put into place to keep everyone safe and bowling." There are five components to the new set of guidelines that will be enforced.
The first is that all visitors to the centre - both players and spectators - will be subject to a temperature check at the front door.
Visitors will also need to sign in using the Services NSW app as well as sanitising their hands.
The use of face masks at all times is the second mandatory rule. These will be available for $2 at the centre.
The fourth restrictions is that no more than 100 people will be allowed inside the centre at any one time.
The final requirement pertains to food as no one will be allowed to bring any food into the centre. Hot food will be off the menu during the action but pre-packaged snacks, as well as hot drinks, will be available.
