I havent bowled regularly since the mid-1980s when I rolled a 180 league avg. Now that the kids have grown up and moved out, I decided to visit the pro shop with the intent of getting back in the game and buying a new ball and shoes. I went in on a Friday afternoon. Although he was busy with several drilling orders, Jeff in the pro shop went out of his way to listen to my request to establish a PAP. Since we had similar drill patterns, Jeff let me try out a few of his extensive collection of personal balls. I had done lots of research online and was interested in a few Storm models (Super Natural, Hy-Road, Frantic, Lights Out) that matched my rolling style (stroker). I tried out a Tropical Breeze and a Hy-Road. Jeff suggested a slight modification of my delivery, which worked wonders with my ball placement. Having rolled my old 16-lb ball for years, I bought a 15-lb Hy-Road after asking Jeffs advice and trying his one out. I cant wait to give my new ball a try. Jeffs assistance was directly responsible for the sale. Otherwise, the lanes themselves were moderately oiled, perfect for my late breaking delivery. The facility was about half full, not bad for an early Friday afternoon. It was a bit dark, and not overly noisy. The computerized lanes are separate from the seating tables. The cashier staff was friendly. NOTE: the cashiers do not take ATM/credit cards directly. Five stars for Jeff and the pro shop; four stars for the bowling facility.

This place is cheap beyond anything I have experienced. Games are outrageously expensive, food is way overpriced and nasty grease filled bags of pus. Waitresses are okay but counter help is rude and non communicative. The cheap lanes are wavy and not even and oil machine doesnt work right, when they do happen to oil. Pins are sometimes not even set right. Lighting is bad and the place hasnt had a makeover in years. The pop machines even want 1.25 for a 12oz can. The arcade has 4 games and 1 of them hasnt worked in over a year. One time, a pro bowler with national titles who used to live in the area offered to give free lessons to help the business and to bring in customers and to spread interest in bowling for kids. The owner wanted to charge rent in order to do this. Just goes to show how cheap the place is. The whole place is falling apart year by year and the only thing keeping it alive are the leagues it has going on but even those keep dwindling in numbers year after year because other bowling centers have a lot more to offer.

Recently moved to the area and my 5 year old son enjoys putt putt. We noted this place had a decent looking miniature golf course and so I checked out the hours and the sign posted said: - 12-8pm Daily - Cash Only Today we actually went to play some miniature golf only to find out the place was closed. Oddly while we walked to the door, a few people drove by wanting to play, but apparently they were "closed." Found a number, it was busy. I must have called 10 times or more and nothing. I then called the bowling alley. The person who answered told me that course was closed. When I inquired about the hours posted, he said "We will have to change that, we dont have anyone to run the course and had a meeting this morning." While that sounds fine, according to one of the ladies who lives in the area the place is rarely open. I find the explanation, while possibly true, is just a representation that either they are poorly managed and/or dont care. Either way with this type of management, they wont be open much longer.

This place was awful. The lanes are poorly maintained. We had to reset the lanes like every 3 throws. Someone had to go back and get our ball a couple times and reset the lane. The staff is terrible. The man working the counter the so rude! He never looked at us as he spoke, ignored us for a few mins every time we went to the counter, and acted like we were a nuisance. The food was bad, I know its bowling alley food but It was by far the worst bowling alley food out there. Oh and the best part! We called a head and asked when open bowling was, he said it started at 3. We got there around 4. We asked for 2 games and paid. With all the issues we had with the lane it took like 25/30 to bowl one game. The half way through the 2nd game the rude man came to us and said "you were supposed to be done by 4:30, Ill refund the rest of your game". He NEVER SAID WE HAD TO BE DONE AT ANYTIME! He rude and insufferable. I will NEVER go there again.

Games are way too overpriced at $3.80 a game. I liked them better when they were at $2.75 a game cause i could always get more practice in. Service is bad. Grouchy workers. Lanes are RARELY oiled. If were oiled i wouldnt have a problem paying $3.80 a game. The food has more oil than the lanes do. I would recommend this place if you want to practice a line with a light oil ball on broken dowl lane conditions. The approaches re sticky and the chairs/tables are worn down. Investments to the alley go to all the wrong places. They also have crappy oil on the lanes and crappy ball returns and pin reseters.

I Called on the phone for open bowling. Was told to come on in, it starts @ 9.. It took me a 30-45 min drive to reach them. I wait in line for another 15 min. and then Im told there is no open bowling???? Can you say " slightly disappointed?" My advice is not to call ahead for bowling times.

Came here with a large group, used 5 lines. Staff was friendly and quick. Facility was clean, computers easy to use. Bathrooms could use some updating. Would definitely come back.

Great place to bowl, well maintained and clean, usually not crowded but the food and refreshments are a little pricey. Also Bowling Balls are not labeled for weight.

Bowling is fun, but the music overall sucks royally!!!!!! It pretty much ruins the whole night! They need to come out of the stone ages if they want to keep teams.

Here for 30 minutes, chose a table, not a smile, nor wait staff to be had. Walked out, amid the 10 smokers standing there with the door open...trashy.
