Brunswick Zone Deer Park Bowl

So incredibly disappointed the way our bowling league was treated tonight at Brunswick Deer Park. We have been bowling there for at least 10 years and have paid a lot of money the bowling alley was sold to a different company and the employees treat you like crap. They had a large party so threw our league to the end of the place, had people screaming into the microphone even though we asked them not too because of people we bowl with who have hearing aids, were refused service at the concession stand because they were too busy with the party. And when we complained we were told we could leave. Can’t wait to call the GM on Monday and let them know how horrible their bowling alley is!

Went on a Sunday and surprisingly it wasn’t to busy. So, it was frustrating when the food service was slow and the lady was no where to be found. There was staff that wouldn’t even ask if you needed help with anything so, either you had to go find someone or go without. Also, frustrating when I went to go pay and use a coupon the lady wouldn’t take it because she said it had to be presented at the time we were getting our lane. I explained on the coupon it does not state that but, she just smiled and said come back next week and use it. Obviously not wanting to grant my coupon. I should have reinforced the coupon but, it wasn’t worth the fight. So, instead I just rather not go back to this location.

When I’d been waiting at the counter for over 10 minutes and the counter staff proceeded to serve the three people in line behind me, I left. To pile insult upon insult, as I was waiting for my would-​be bowling companion, a staffer who’d seen the man she opted to serve ahead of me flagrantly cut me then noted that her grandfather had belonged to the group that he was there bowling with. That’s positively insufferable.
On the other hand, the physical plant is excellent, with all the modern amenities. The lanes are well-​maintained and clean. The «cosmic» atmosphere is somewhat oppressive when in operation, but that’s easy enough to schedule around and is a general feature of alleys these days.
In summary, I guess this is a nice place to go if they already know you; if you have a large group, especially of children; or if it’s not busy — I enjoyed my other trip here under the latter circumstance. But stay away if you just want to get a few games in. It’s hard to find much to critique beyond the service, but discourtesy is an absolute deal-​breaker for me. I know I’m not alone in that.

The bathrooms are gross! The lanes have so much oil on them, the balls come back covered. The place needs a good scrubbing.

Love this place! Great pizza, too! Except they got rid of the cute little animations with the mean pins on the screen. I miss those :(

A previous review is totally false. I personally have 3 children that bowl here on leagues and 2 of them were on the same league that was mentioned earlier. The person left out a few key details. One was the fact that the coach did talk to the parents but it was to talk to them about how their child had been doing that night. Two as for the food being served by the coach with dirty hands. The coach didn’t serve the food to the kids. She was luckily enough to have a couple of parents come and help her serve the kids the food so she could stay coaching the kids. The parents hands were cleaned and they never touched the food with their hands. They used a serving utensil and made sure they didn’t fouch it. I personally saw this parent yell at the coach telling her to tell the kids to stop eating an bowl. The parent would then tap her watch and tell the coach to hurry up she had a time frame to keep. Three, it is very hard for a coach to coach a child when a parent tells the child to do something different. It is very sad that a parent would attack someone one whit special needs. I wouldn’t take that review too seriously considering that have the nerve to just write a review with such falsities.

I’ve come bowling here 2 – 3 times per week for the last 2 months and always had a great time. The facilities are clean and well equipped with the latest scoring tech and the lanes are always well groomed. I will admit, I have not bowled in a league here but have come here for late night bowling and the staff is always friendly and attentive. If you’re a night owl like myself you’ll like the 8 $ unlimited bowling from 9-​midnight on weekdays and 12 $ two hour unlimited bowling on Friday nights from 10PM-​1AM. For the money I think they have the best facilities in town!

What’s there not to like about bowling? This place is a little it hidden because it is back from the road but it is still usually busy. I don’t come here as often as I used to but when I feel like bowling I usually come here. The lanes are nice & slick which gives the ball some nice movement. Instead of talking about how balls move when slick I will just say that this place has some pretty nice staff for the most part. Like most places this place can be a little annoying when it is busy. Especially if you walk in & they tell you that the lanes are full. That’s not their fault but it does get frustrating & instead of waiting for a lane to open up I usually just leave.
This place also has a pretty nice bar area. I have never been in there but for a bowling alley it seemed pretty nice. Even though the bar area seems nice & the place seems clean I don’t know if I would ever eat here. I have never had a bad experience with their food but the one time I ate the nachos it just tasted like it had come out of a can that had been processed a few years ago. In other words it wasn’t fresh & I wasn’t expecting fresh food here either.
Overall the staff here is nice, they have a nice bar area & the lanes are nice & slick. This is a good place to come bowling but calling ahead to reserve a lane might be a good idea.

Brunswick is dependable for decent lanes and lots of space. I rarely have trouble getting a lane when I come here.
The kiddos love it, especially with bumpers and a ramp for those who need more assistance. I’ve always had positive interactions with the employees who are very helpful when a kid’s ball gets magically lodged in the back.
Join the brunswick bonus zone if you want some decent coupons. I usually have a coupon every time I go.
The kitchen here can take a looooong time. So just make sure you are not in a rush!

The best experience at a bowling alley. Clean and not as smoke smelling as the other places. A great time with the fam
