    If you're thinking about buying a family pass at Country Bowl next year, DON'T. As someone who runs…read morea business, I can tell you this place is a blueprint for bad management, poor priorities, and disrespect toward paying customers. We bought the family pass hoping to enjoy the summer, but almost every single time we tried to use it, we were turned away. Not once. Not twice. Every time. The lanes were packed with league bowlers or regular-paying customers. It's obvious they favor leagues and pros while treating pass holders like an afterthought. That's not just bad service, it's a slap in the face to families and beginners. Their hours are ridiculously short, and the season ends in August, giving you barely three months to use the pass. Compare that to Shasta Lanes, which runs May through October and has 24 lanes (Country Bowl only has 16). At Shasta Lanes, we use out family pass and bowled every single day, no drama, no excuses. That's how you honor a pass. And here's the real kicker: - Shasta Lanes opens earlier almost every day and maintains consistent midday hours. - Country Bowl has sporadic hours, often opening late during league hours or closing early, especially problematic for families trying to plan outings. - Shasta's season is twice as long, giving pass holders far more chances to bowl. - Country Bowl's setup is poorly planned in comparison, and it shows. Let's talk about customer service? Country Bowl's staff literally grabbed my phone to "verify" who's using the pass, like I'm trying to cheat. Hands all over my device, every visit. It's invasive, rude, and completely unnecessary. Meanwhile, the place is crawling with drunks, making it uncomfortable for families. Seating is cramped, the food is overpriced frozen junk, and the whole vibe is off. Now let's talk about Shasta Lanes. The owner personally checks in with us, says hello, and makes sure we're having a good time, every time. Their fries are actually good, the menu is fresh and fairly priced, and the staff treat you like a valued guest, not a problem. They even honored my wife's coupon from our pass, even when she wasn't bowling so I can practice my shots. That's real customer service. That's respect. Country Bowl is outdated, overcrowded, and clearly built around league favoritism. If you're not a pro or part of a league, you're invisible. That's not how you build loyalty. That's not how you run a business. And that's exactly why we'll never go back. If you want real value, longer hours, better food, and a place that actually respects your money, go to Shasta Lanes. Country Bowl? It's a waste of time, gas, money, patience and worst of all, it disappointed my daughters, who just wanted to bowl with their friends. So yeah, I'm disappointed too.

    I was very pleasantly surprised by this bowling alley. I was not expecting it to be updated and…read moremodern inside, and it was very nice! Clean and bright with comfy couch like seats at each lane. The floors were bright and look brand new. It was very refreshing to bowl at an alley that didn't have technical issues, meaning our ball never got stuck and nor did the pins. It wasn't busy at all on the Thursday afternoon when we went and we ended up staying for 3 hours. We ordered a pepperoni pizza and it came pretty quickly and was quite good. On the screens they advertised meal deals and bowling deals that I wouldn't be opposed to going back and trying. Every staff member that we came on contact with was very friendly and helpful. We had a great time here and are looking forward to coming back.

    The Lounge at Foothill Bowl is an absolute gem in Auburn!…read more I have to admit, I never even stepped foot in the bowling alley itself, I only visited the lounge, and I had such a great time that I didn't feel like I missed out on a thing. The vibe is fantastic. It feels like a true local hangout, warm, lively, and welcoming. The bartenders were incredibly friendly and on top of everything. Even when the place was packed on a Friday night, service was quick and smooth. One of the bartenders even flattered me by calling me "honey," which instantly made it feel like home. That kind of genuine, down to earth hospitality really stands out. The beer was cold and frosty, exactly what you want after a long day, and the pizza was seriously delicious. Add in a TouchTunes jukebox and a full crowd of happy locals, and you can tell this is a well loved, popular spot. I was staying right across the parking lot at the Foothills Motel, and the 10 percent discount I got at the bowling alley was a really nice bonus. If you're in Auburn and want a fun, relaxed place to grab a drink, enjoy some great food, and feel like part of the community, The Lounge at Foothill Bowl is the place to be. I'll definitely be back.
