Loud sorta sport in venues open to scrutiny (9)

I believe the answer is:

fishbowls

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'venues open to scrutiny' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'loud sorta sport' is the wordplay.
'loud' becomes 'f' (short for forte - 'loud' in music).
'sorta' becomes 'ish' (I've seen this in another clue).
'sport' becomes 'bowls' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'f'+'ish'+'bowls'='FISHBOWLS'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
