Brunswick Zone Sands Bowl

Great alley, lanes left beautiful oil rings on my ball. friendly staff fantastic pro shop .my family lives in the area and we made the mistake of going to brunswick vista in palmdale yikes if only they had it together like this place we will be coming here from now on

Third time in three months that we have come in after calling and trying to make reservations. We were told we couldn’t. Then when we arrived an hour before open bowling started only 4 lanes were available and league was going on. Not once not twice but three times. Management staff was on their phones and very rude. Apparently open bowling isn’t available for this location at any time. And why would you take a reservation when they don’t allow for it. Recommend the alley in Palmdale vs this one. Employees on their phones. Horrible service overall.

Great place to bowl! I usually go with my friends to play pool. They have plenty of pool tables and are usually open most times I come. Cool atmosphere and good customer service. Only down side is that it’s sometimes difficult to find anyone at the front desk.

I come to this place once in a while to spend some time with friends when I’m in town. The décor is boring, food is meh, but the bowling is fun! If you’re only looking to have fun with family or friends but don’t mind the décor or the food, this is definitely the place to go!

Husband and I went here for date night last weekend. Walked in and instantly a smell I’ve only smelled in the early 90’s hit me. Oh, this was gonna be some good old fashioned bowling. When we paid I found out that they don’t keep one of your personal shoes at the front desk, which made me so happy: D (I’ve always hated having a shoe held hostage just for bowling). We only wanted one hour, but they said they were only doing a two hour pay that night, so we paid for a full two hours, knowing we weren’t going to be there that long. :/​
The place is kinda out dated, I saw that the bumpers on the lanes had to be pulled up and down manually by employees, I thought all bowling alleys had switched to pushing a button and having bumpers come up.
My husband had never been bowling before, and he totally got a kick out of it. Usually a homebody, I was surprised to see him get so into the game. He dug the whole atmosphere, and said he wants to play the little arcade machines next time. Overall, we both had a great time. :)

Great price for bowling !
2hrs plus rental shoes for $ 8.95 .
What a deal!
I saw the sign that Tuesday will be cheaper than other day.
We will come and play on Tuesday next time.

Very rude manager paid to bowl for four hours and got kicked off the lane for some league that was coming in. Didn’t mention it to me and my friend when we started bowling. Got two hours then he complained about giving us a refund and kept insisting we shouldn’t have paid for that cause he had a league coming in with no schedule posted or signs stating that they wouldn’t have any lanes available after a certain time to accommodate a 32 lane league I’ve been here a few times and this is by far the worst experience ever will not be coming back.

ok well there arent many other places to go bowling to so ive been here a lot. i would say its a nice place to hang out with friends, shoot some pool or bowl but theres always a lot of immature teens hanging out. the food sucks and it all tastes microwaved. the pool tables get stuck sometimes. when its cosmic bowling time, good luck finding a ball you are comfortable with; unless in a 13lb then youre SOL on finding smaller balls, they are either mixed up in the racks somewhere or being greedily held by people who need 4 or 5 of the same size balls at their lane. also when i think of cosmic bowling i think of loud music, fog machines going off, darkness but with crazy lights going on, ummm nope not here. the arcade is nothing special. very small and boring. and also i wouldnt waste my money buying anything from the bar here. bartender is super stingy with the alcohol, and you can only get 1 drink at a time which sucks. overall i think i need to try BEX i heard theres an underground bowling, maybe itll be more of the atmosphere im looking for.

Went there today Nov 28^th to go bowling with mine and my wife’s family since they were in town visiting from Joshua Tree for Thanksgiving. The bowling staff were friendly and bowling was great. For the most part the place is clean and the bowling staff are quick at fixing stuck pins. However, the biggest issue I had was with the lady in the snack bar Dawn Peterson. I noticed they didn’t served beer in pitchers so I ordered four Coors Lights; two for me and two for my wife, and two Heineken’s for my father-​in-​law. Dawn asked to see my ID so I showed her mine and my father-​in-​law showed her his. However, she asked to see everybody’s ID that was drinking and I said they were for my wife and I. She rudely said «No! There are fours beers, I need to see more ID’s for everyone that is with you». I said fine I’ll get my wives ID and once again she became rude and said no there are more people with you, and once again I said no two are for me and two are for my wife, once again she said she needed to see everyone’s ID and I said they are for my wife and I and she pretty much called me a liar by saying no there are more people with my group which there was but they were all underage, but the Coors Lights were for my wife and I and the Heineken’s were for my father-​in-​law.
So then she said she was only going to give me one beer because it was some law and blah blah blah. So then I asked if I could pay for them and she said no that she had to hang onto my card and I could start a tab. By now I was getting upset dealing with Dawn with her attitude and unprofessionalism. So I told her fine I’ll start a tab but I just wanted my four Coors Lights and the two Heineken’s. So then Dawn goes in the back to get the beer and I went to my lane to get my wife to show Dawn her ID and my father-​in-​law came down with two Heineken’s and my wife said she’d be up there in a few minutes because it was her turn to bowl. So I go up to get my Coors Lights and she said she already gave me two beers, I said no you gave my father-​in-​law his two Heineken’s, I don’t drink Heineken’s I drink Coors Light. So instead of apologizing for her screw up, she wanted to argue with me again so I told her I wanted to cancel my tab and that I’d pay for the Heineken’s but I didn’t appreciate her attitude. So said she couldn’t do that so I pretty much said eff it and walked away. She eventually came down with the Coors Lights but only gave me two after she checked my wives ID.
I then had my parents show up and my mother ordered a soda and came back and said that Dawn was rude with her as well. I ended up canceling the last two Coors Lights because I didn’t want to deal with Dawn anymore. As I was there closing my tab Dawn was eating her lunch on the other side of the wall and just starred at me standing there. Once, she stuffed her face she came over without washing her hands to close my tab. Now, last time I worked in a restaurant, we weren’t allowed to eat our personal food where we serve customers food and everything we did we always had to wash our hands. Dawn’s attitude and unprofessionalism killed the environment for my entire family spent good money to bowl, food, and drinks since there was at least 13 of us there. I highly encourage anyone to eat and drink either before or after bowling because not only is the food overpriced but the crappy attitude from Dawn is not worth it.

Had a birthday party for my son over the weekend and it was the worst experience ever! Unorganized would be an understatement for the staff here. Party was scheduled from 3 – 5, but didn’t get my lanes until 330. Only had 2 booths for people to sit when we really needed 4. Had to ask for balls for the kids, bumpers, and things that were supposed to be included in my party package that weren’t given to me. Let’s talk about food, our party hostess told me when she put the pizzas in and I went and ordered extra food at the same time so it would come out together. First 2 items came out, then the last 3 items came in 15 minute intervals behind the last. When we get to checkout time, we gave our card to the hostess to pay for the bill, 20 minutes later we still hadn’t received our card back so I went to the counter and waited another 10 minutes for the manager to figure out what the heck he was doing! The ONLY redeeming thing about this place was that the staff was nice, but when you’re paying for a stress free party experience that only goes so far. WILL NEVER HAVE A BIRTHDAY PARTY HERE AGAIN… EVER!!!

I have been bowling at Brunswick Sands on Sierra Highway since I was still in single digit age. It really hasn’t changed much in that time. It still smells the same. It still has the same old arcade. And the same old bar that never seems to be open when I am there. The scoring system has been moderately updated to conform to the times. And I am sure the floor has been replaced a few times as I am sure is true with the courtesy balls as well. There is a certain charm being so consistantly classic. It is my home alley and I try to get back there every so often when I am home in the AV. Las Vegas can have their fancy mega lanes. I am one for nastalgia so I go for where I learned to bowl. Seriously, I took a bowling class at AVC as a PE credit. This is where we bowled all of our 60 plus games that semester. I still stink when it comes to bowling but I have fun. When it comes to Brunswick Sands Bowl, this is where I have the most fun.

This place is fun! Great for the family! :) forgot how fun it was to bowl: D I would definitely go back

I love this place! It is very fun and I don’t have problems with it, you only spend almost 10 $, and the food there is good. The ball lbs. are organized and stacked and the lanes are a little crowded but overall it isn’t very loud, has a little arcade, not to expensive, and a good air conditioner. Overall this place is great and fun…

I had the most fun… Went in on a Saturday w. My bf for there cosmic bowling!!! They lose a star bcuz the food portion was SMALL for what they charged… I ordered chicken wings THEY WERE GOOD only wish I had more or they came w. Fries and my bf had the cheese fries they were also good… It was crowded a baseball team was next to us and there were a few birthday parties but not chaotic!!! The kids next to us. kept getting the balls stuck I kno that annoyed the staff… Oh yea STAFF IS VERY FRIENDLY no complaints

Great place for a kids party! Plenty of lanes, plenty of space, the best part is the par with the pool tables! Maaan I’m goin back n gettin faded! ;)

Love this place, grew up here practically. The equipment is a little old, unlike some of the other alleys. One thing I don’t like about this place… is Tasha who works at the snack bar!!! SHE ALWAYS HAS A REALLY BAD ATTITUDE PROBLEM. Get rid of her and this place would be a much better and happier place. Love the positive attitude Samantha, Mitchell, Briana, Brian, Richard, Mike Sr & Jr, and Wiley have towards the bowlers.

Food here is horrible and overly expensive!!! Food sanitation is iffy. Saw the cook grab a raw patty, put it on the grill, and continue to touch other food without washing up or changing gloves. My wings were under done. Pink and bloody and cool to touch… just how animals in the wild would like their meat. Garden salad was a joke. Do yourself a favor and eat somewhere else if you decide to bowl here.
Bowling was ok at best. Maybe go when they have bowling specials. Definitely DO NOT go on a Tuesday– that’s league night.

PERFECT FOR A KID’S BIRTHDAY PARTY!
We are new to the area and were in search of a place to hold my son’s birthday party. This is not easy since he (and his friends) have special needs. Ashley was very helpful in setting up the party and giving us all the tools we needed (on line invites, shoe list etc) to get started. Once the big day arrived, Chelsea was our party liason and did a teriffic job of managing the day. Sands Bowl provided the paper goods, pizza, drinks, goodie bags, balloons and many other extras to make my son’s party a success. Basically all we needed to do was show up. THe best part… the kids all had a blast bowling and using the arcade games!

I have been to better bowling alleys. I have been to worse. This one is clean at least. I don’t order the food so I can’t comment on that. The last time I went bowling here my ball and my friends ball got stuck in the machine that sends them back to us. It took us some time to get some help. That was kind of a turn off. They did move us to a new lane and the rest of the night went smoothly. The lady at the counter was very friendly. The bowling alley should be proud they hired her, she is a dedicated employee.

Hubby and I used to go every Sunday morning for $ 1 bowling. How can you beat that? There was never a lot of people there, and everyone usually very friendly. We really love to bowl, and this is a great place to do it — and the fact that you can do it during their down times is very cool, for cheap!
We need to start up a ritual and start doing this again. :) I would be happy to!
