I rented space for my daughters graduation open house on what I believed to be such a late date that I would be lucky if there was any availability. Well, not only did they have the space but they also provided the food, complete setup other than the "Grad Table" and our own decorations such as balloons and streamers, etc., complete cleanup service, food and beverages including open bar with individuals to stock as needed but at an incredible price much below what Ive heard of friends and relatives spending. The only area I felt they could have done better with was communicating with me on the day of the event. When we arrived to do our own setup, there wasnt really anyone there to talk me through what and how they were going to be there in the background. I felt like I had to seek someone out to get that information and wanted to know before guests arrived so I could mingle with them rather than look for someone to answer my questions. We rented the bar area which included several small tables and chairs as well as the food table with all serving service included, the table for the cake and the table to display the graduation items of our choice. This also included a patio outside with tables and chairs that we were able to decorate if we chose. I would recommend that if you choose this, look for bees nests under the railing around the patio. I did find a few which I brought to the attention of staff. They kind of looked at me like I was nuts but if you have an allergy or children in the area, I think that information is quite relevant. With just a couple of heads up ideas, I think this is an ideal place all around to rent for such an occasion.

A small group of my friends decided to join a bowling league this fall and we decided on the vampire league on Friday nights at Lincoln lanes. I will never join another league at this place. Almost all the staff have poor personalities if they have a personality at all, dont go here looking for outstanding service because you wont get it. Knowing that it is a bowling I wasnt expecting outstanding food to begin with but we had ordered a pizza and couldnt even finish it. There were for of us adults who hungry and we couldnt even finish it. The waitress hardly came around and the bartender couldnt help us because the waitress had our tab so between us four adults we tried to just eat what we could. Two of us felt sick after eating the pizza and we left about two and a half pieces and then told our waitress about our experience. She said we had to talk to the manager because we only left two pieces, and that manager said she couldnt do anything because we ate all but two pieces. That is one piece per person and half of us got sick......they refused to even discount the pizza. We are league members on a 16 week league that only has three teams on it to begin with....cant imagine why. Theyd rather turn away my business for the next two months of eating and drinking there because of one bad pizza that made me sick and they wont take responsibility for their bad food. Dont ever eat there and definitely do not go there with anywhere near minimum standards for service because they will Gail you miserably.

The bowling community wonders why the sport is almost DEAD. The reason is COST. I took my 9 and 11 year old to bowl today. To bowl JUST 1 GAME for me and my 2 kids cost $28,00 BUCKS. Really. I told the staff and manager (Clover) that $28,00 was a crazy amount of $$$$ for 1 game of bowling with shoe rental. They have at least 30 lanes and I was 1 of 2 lanes bowling on a Sunday at 2:00 in the afternoon (All the rest of the lanes were EMPTY). The other bowling allys (Spectrum, and Fairlanes) have "Kids bowl free" for 2 games with the purchase of a shoe rental. It took me longer to drive to the bowling alley then to bowl 1 game. My frame of mind is Im going to spend $40+ bucks on a outing with the kids. If the shoe rental was NOT 4.50 a pair and a game similar a "Family" could bowl more than 1 game. Most people would spend their $$$ on pop or pizza or a couple more games. I will NEVER return to such a GREEDY establishment. The sport will die and so will Lincoln lanes in due time at those prices.

I walked in on a Saturday night at 12:30 PM, 30 minutes before closing and they denied me service. Doesnt make me want to come back, especially being my first time coming to this alley. After I left the alley I promptly called asking when they close and I was told "We close at 1 am". I continued to ask if they had a lane available. I was told "no one is here"...??? The lady at the front desk then continued to tell me that I could come back and play a game if I desired. At this point I was already a well 10 minutes away and very calmly told the woman on the phone that they would not be seeing my business back at this establishment. *TO ESTABLISHMENT* : If you say your open until 1 AM, you should probably have someone working until then, if not just close. You made my friend and I very disappointed in your establishment.

This year I have had the opportunity to gold and bowl at Lincoln. The golf course is in pretty good shape. This is by far the best price for golfing in the area $20 for 18 w/ a cart! Its not a fancy golf course, but then again Im not a fancy golfer. I have also bowled there a few times with my kids this summer since they have free bowling for kids during the summer (which my wife signed them up for) The alley looks great, the staff is very friendly, and if you are a pretty serious bowler the lanes play very well. Overall I really enjoyed myself.

Walked in at 1130pm on a Saturday. Prepaid for 2 games and rented shoes. Could not get a beer, let alone water/pop because the concession stand was already closed. Tried to pay for a thrid game at 1215, but was denied by the pissant behind the counter, since he already closed out his register. Google AND the corporate website indicate they are open until 1am on Saturday. Not sure how you are expecting to stay in business when there are several alleys within a 10 mile radius and dont sell concessions on a Saturday night. Will never be back.

The staff was very friendly and courteous . They would be a reason to go back. The drink prices were reasonable as well. However I was there for a party and we were told that there would always be pizza available so long as we kept eating it. The pizza wasnt anything to write home about to begin with, but we ended up with some people who never got a slice. That obviously cheapened the experience for me.

Terrible service and the place is a dump. Tonight after being told 5 times that it would be 20 minutes for a lane and to just have a drink at the bar we left without bowling. The best part was there was plenty of open lanes when we left. Used to bowl on a league here and left because of the bad management. Dont waste your time, there are plenty of better places to bowl in West Michigan.
