We recently relocated to Cookeville and have been looking forward to bowling here, as the lanes in our previous city were disappointing. Unsure of the condition of the lanes and their upkeep, we were pleasantly surprised! The counter folks were welcoming and friendly and the facility, while not much to look at on the outside, was up-to-date on the inside. I did not see any lanes out of commission, and the touchscreens and displays all seemed to work great. The bowling pin mechanisms could be faster, but they worked just fine. They do have a fairly busy schedule. We went around noon, and found a seniors bowling league were there which forced us into a holding pattern, which was not an issue. Just be aware that there are leagues that play and you may want to call ahead to make sure they have open lanes available. Will definitely return for more "strikes and spares"!! read more

We found Bowling World by complete random on our way up to Nashville. A 9 hour road trip deserves a spontaneous trip to bowl! From the outside, you wouldn't expect much, but don't let the cover of the book fool you. Bowling World is huge and well kept! We bought unlimited bowling for $17.99 each which is super cheap compared to where we live. We ended up playing 7 games before heading back onto the road. The systems were functioning well and there were a lot of bowling ball options to choose from. I did use the restroom while we were there and I have to say, they were the cleanest and nicest bathrooms I've ever been to at a bowling alley! We will definitely be back on our next road trip! read more

We had a great time bowling on Fathers Day! This place is clean and great pricing. The food and bar was great too! We will be coming back !

I cannot express more than great great great service from my first visit to this place. From check in to ordering food to receiving our shoes and playing the lanes. Every staff member was kind and helpful. We were a large group of 12 and were accommodated with two lanes side by side. read more

Two stars only for the fact that it's a bowling alley. We waited 45 minutes for a lane and then patrons that walked in well after us were assisted first. Slow service and rude staff. read more

While traveling out West we stopped here while having our truck looked at at the Nissan dealer. We ended having dinner and bowling. My husband had a cheeseburger and fries and I had the most delicious Swiss-cheese and mushroom burger, the staff could not have been nicer or more welcoming. We ended up bowling and had a blast. read more

Not sensative to mentally disabled/Autistic patrons! Please consider no longer spending your money at Bowling World. Today, my severely autistic sister was kicked out. She and her roommate were there (with their appropriate staff),celebrating a birthday. My sister did nothing wrong, she got a little upset over some water - something that naturally happens when an autistic person gets thrown off of their routine. She was not screaming or even crying. Simply biting her hands, as she does anywhere she goes. To make matters worse, the employee who kicked her out kept referring to to her as "a special." When my mom called to speak to a manager, the women on the phone kept talking about how they always look out for "the specials" and how she's constantly cleaning up after "the specials." Absolutely disgusting. Feel free to share. I would tag them in this post, but I don't want to tag the wrong Bowling World. read more

It was ok. The balls are just ok, the food is bleh and the staff are jerks to everyone. The lanes are clean but thats about it. If there was another bowling alley in cookeville, I would go to it instead read more

My companion and I went on a Saturday night expecting a long wait considering the CDC guidelines. Almost every lane was full, well over two hundred people were in the building with no masks on (I could have counted on one hand the number of people who CHOSE to wear masks) and absolutely no one was social distancing. Balls couldn't be chosen along the wall because there were so many people packed in like sardines. We paid for an hour to play but only used 30 minutes because of how awful it was in there and how uncomfortable we became with the number of unmasked people in our personal space. NONE of the workers were wearing masks either. I spoke to the manager about my concerns and she was very nonchalant about it stating that she didn't make the rules that people were to follow in the building. I would not recommend going to this establishment as they (the staff nor the owners) seem to care about the safety and well-being of others. read more

Staff is always rude and act like the customers are putting them out. Today, my special needs daughter and her roommate were celebrating her birthday. My daughter was flapping her hands, asking for water, and speaking loud as she didn't think we hear her over the loud noises. An employee asked her to leave. The employee did not offer a rain check or refund for either of the two customers who were different, but deserveved to bowl. The management told me they clean up after "specials" all day. My daughter had an aide with her. We would have left no mess. read more
