    Modern upgrades, neon lights, TVs, music, food, drinks, fun!! Order everyone on screen from your lane. Servers bring you drinks, food. Friendly staff!

    Lanes with numbers

    I been going to this bowling alley for years and always had fun! I bowl the most during summer time because of the bowling pass that allows you to bowl 2 games everyday with free shoe rentals! This place offers shots, food, hard liquor, arcade games and a clean restroom! Fun for everyone! I got bowlero giftcards from Costco and was able to use it here! I was a part of a 10 week bowling league here and they would oil the lanes for us before our games. Service is great! The staff here are helpful! Thanks Kathy ! They really took care of us!

    These are turning clockwise instead of counter.

    Lip service. I sent them an email and got ghosted. This is why nothing ever improves here.

    This is a huge bowling alley and yet... there was a 45 minute wait on a Wednesday at 8:45 PM! To be fair, there was a league taking up many of the lanes... HOWEVER, when we waited in line to get an alley - we were quickly told to wait. "There are no alleys right now. Can you just wait on the side until 9:30?" and we were so confused because we saw other people get their names on a waitlist... but not us! They quickly brushed us to the side. We didn't end up bowling until 10 PM. The good: + Clean bowling shoe rentals. Couches were also clean and you see staff constantly wiping down tables. The bad: + The price of rentals is INCLUDED in the unlimited bowling package, so even if you bring your own bowling shoes - you would pay the same price. + Not many different bowling ball sizes. + The lanes were really dark with poor lighting. You can hardly see the markings on the floor.

    The overall service changed since the last time I came here. Everything is much more organized. The cashier greeted us and checked us in and had us meet Princess who would be our server for the evening. Princess was so kind to walk us to our lane and she was super attentive. She's so friendly and got all of our beverages promptly. It was very clean including the bathrooms. Princess also assisted us in getting the balls we needed to play well. I really love the upgraded service and the music was banging! Such a good time!

    This place is horrible and has ridiculous rules, I have been here before and had similar issues with employees being rude, racist and lazy. So me my 36 year old brother and 59 year old husband went to hang out after lunch I asked my husband to go get me and my brother a drink and the bartender refused to sell to him. He stated he can only buy 1 drink at a time and must wear a wristband... whatever my husband bought my drink then shortly went back to buy my brother his drink since we were competition bowling .. the employee refused and then someone came over and asked us to wear wristband.. I looked around and there were two different families of other races drinking beer not wearing a wristband I immediately went and asked for a manager name left a message and left.. of course I have not gotten a response so here I am informing people of this place with racist employees!

    Overall had an easy and fun experience. I called on our way to check if lanes are available (day after Thanksgiving). Upon arrival we got set up immediately. We had consistent great experience from staff on the call and on site. People started arriving upon our arrival. No fuss. No issue. Tips: best to call to check if lanes are available. Online reservation is through a third-party and discount code does not apply when booking on location. Online reservation does not reflect current available lanes.

    Stellar service and fun place! My group got the unlimited Tuesday thing and they let us use two lanes for 5 people since 2 people wanted bumpers but the rest of us didn't The people are really nice and got us pitchers of water and helped us bring it all the way back to our lane! The place is really cool too. I didn't have any food since I wasn't hungry but the bowling and the water was great!

    guestservices@bowlerocorp.com is an inactive email. These people here are lousy.

    Everything can improve. No one answers the phone at the home office or any of the branches. 0/5 stars this place is ridiculously inconsistent with customer engagement, it's nearly non existent.

    best experience ever! Jamie was the best. He took care of us the whole night and literally felt like a homie. i would highly recommend. Nice hangout spot & the food was soooooo good. we got wings and fries and they were bomb. i highly recommend to come here. def more fun then other places

    I attended a birthday event at this bowling alley, and it was such a fun and positive experience! I loved that they have a bar too. I'll definitely be coming back to this location!

    Two lanes for a birthday party - super fun !!!

Plenty of TVs to watch games. The few bowling alley's in the front are meant for parties. Last time we went bowling, the service was nice. They have QR codes on the tables so that you can order when you're ready and it links to what aisle you're in. You can keep the tab open until you're done. Food was pretty good. The platters were way larger than we thought, but I guess we should've known from the price...Beer is about $10 for 16oz. Depending on if there's games or parties, parking can be harder to find. Overall, I do like this place and I'd rather come here than D&Bs.

Our group had a private area roped off and a plethora of food laid out for a buffet feast. There was salad, chicken kabobs, plates of antipasto, cheese, peppers, hummus, and of course nachos. Everything was delicious, as well as being lovely to look at. In fact, I think it was the first time in my Yelp history that I was so busy eating and having fun that I forgot to take photos! *eyes crossed* The area we were in had pool tables and shuffle board. I think there was pingpong too. I didn't interact much with the servers since it was a buffet and I was there for a function, but we had everything we needed while there. Be prepared for a lot of noise when you go. We had to use a karaoke machine in order to hear our main speaker. Lots of TVs blaring sports, video games and music. It's a great place for families or groups.

Came here with the Fam for a birthday party for one of the Little One's school friends. I swear I haven't been to Golfland in probably 20+ years (maybe even closer to 30. That's how old I am). Glad to see it's still up and running and still a lot of fun. Young children are still a bit too small to really enjoy mini golf, or laser tag, but they had a blast running around and playing the video games. It's great to see that some things about this place haven't changed. The host of the party also purchased game cards for everyone, and each card came loaded with 100 credits. Dang! that's a lot. They were only valid for the video games, and none of the ticket or prize games, which honestly makes sense, as buying in bulk probably comes with a big discount, and no arcade wants you racking up a mountain of prizes off a party package. Still, it worked out fine because the little ones had a blast on the video games, and I even snuck in a round of Space Invaders myself ;) Even for Golfland, I can't write a review without mentioning food. Yes, it was party food, but I'll try to be nice: - Pizza: Cheese, chicken, and Veggie. Choices were great. However, the pizza quality was pretty mediocre. Akin to Little Caesar's. I'd say Chuck E. Cheese, but honestly I've never tried theirs so can't really say. - "Famous Thick Shake": I did go rogue a bit and purchased my own order of this shake that they advertise on the posters. First thing you notice? The size. It's huge! They offer a small and a large, but the "large" is about three times bigger for just $1 more. And that's how they get you to buy the large. At $9 vs. $8, of course you wouldn't order a small! The "shake" is really more like soft serve ice cream in a cup, almost like a McFlurry. I wouldn't try sucking it up through a straw though. That's futile. You get to choose three toppings. I went with two: cookie dough and coconut, which kind of makes a coconut chocolate chip cookie? It was pretty good, though way too much for one person. The Mrs., The Little One, and I together couldn't even finish it. Of note: the receipt labeled it as an "IG Thick Shake," which made me curious. I assumed IG meant instagram. So I hopped onto Instagram and searched "Golfland Thick Shake" to see what the hype was about. Let's just say the search results ended up being NSFW. Not what I was expecting. Overall, Golfland is still a solid spot for birthdays, family fun, and nostalgia. The food isn't why you come, but the golf, games, and sweet treats definitely make it worth the trip.

That was what the charge was about. I had no problem paying another 16, but this shift leader failed to prove that she was responsible for noticing that my time was up. It was 30 seconds to have someone coming up telling me, "Hey, time's up, pack your shit and leave." Then I'd be happy to pounce, but no. She argued that it is MY responsibility to have my time managed, and their employees indeed wrote down the time I have to be out ON THE RECEIPT. Well, I never pay attention to my receipt but the amount I have to pay. And by that handwritten note on the receipt which was in the trash can 15 seconds after I took it. I have no idea I got overtimed. Well, $16 is not a big deal to me. It might be somebody's wage for an hour, it might be a good meal for a homeless person, but today there is a reason for me to write down this review about having bad customer service at the overpriced place in the arcade. Thanks for spending time reading this stupid complaint. If you are looking for a place for billiards, try Jimmy's or California. Trust me, they might be a bit distant, but they got a cheaper rate of 11.5-12.5/hour compared to what I paid, 16/hour. And got diamond tables ;) To be fair with round1, they got shitty brunswick crown fucking 10-20 years old. Cushions are busted on #2, 3. Clothes are filled with food and drink. TOUCH it, and you will feel sticky :))) Well, it is "well maintained"!!! The ONLY table having no problem is #6. Why? Because nobody wants to be put in the corner, and there is no space at all for the shot :))) but I handled it. Jenny and Chris, this is not just a complaint. I am also a manager and I DO care about my customers, because I put myself in their situations. I do sympathize and learn about my business's mistakes. Finally, this is a trick of trade. If you actually do care, try coming into your place and enjoying service as a customer. Don't let your employees know you were there. Then you can find problems and fix them.

The loco moco was great with the gravy and medium cooked patties, this is "Hawaiian" style. And the ham and cheese omelette was good.
