AMF Land Park Lanes

Wish I could give this place negative stars. We paid $ 100 for seven of us to bowl two games. Their computers seize up, pin resetters don’t work reliably and employees lie when asked about getting assistance. More interruptions to request service and repairs than time spent bowling. When we complain, they demand to see our receipt. What for? To prove how much money we wasted? How about making sure that your machinery works, AMF? We’ll never return.

Not five stars because we constantly had to keep asking someone to help us restart our game because the scoreboard wasn’t registering our scores after bowling. We later found out that we had to press the enter looking key (looked like a back space symbol) instead of the check mark to start a new game.
However, great place to bowl with plenty of lanes and a bar and food as well. Went on a Sunday night and only paid $ 2.50 /​game/​person and $ 2.50 for shoe rentals. Only about 60−70% of the lanes were taken up that night and it wasn’t too loud. A little bit of a drive from where we were but well worth the cheap bowling prices and no lines.

Food is pretty good. But they need to get their ducks in a row, myself and a few girlfriends joined a league that started last Sunday. The person working the front had no idea, blamed everything on the manager, and then we had to wait 45 minutes to see if others were going to show up to get a lane. After we bowled the gal said there may not even be a league? What? Anyway they get 3 stars only because she didn’t charge us to bowl and redeemed a tiny bit a positive customer service back. We will see what happens! Btw where’s the Manager?

This place has the worse customer service ever. The manager is a bitch who careless about costumer. I never really care about writing reviews but this place is so terrible to the point I had to say something about it. I Do not recommend anyone to go.

They seriously need to close one day to maintain their equipment. Every times go there, I have to call for service at least 2 – 3 times. 2hrs bowl end up having 20 mins waiting for them to figure out the problem. Staffs are not too friendly. It can be understood since they try to help everyone else who has the same problem as i did.

AMF is a pretty fun place to go bowling. It is easy to get a lane and the atmosphere is nice. There are usually not too many people and every time I’ve gone it has been pretty peaceful and not too loud. However, the line is always very slow. It was also remodeled recently so it is a bit more modern and nice. I always have a good time whenever I go there.

i was disappointed with the service… our lane kept breaking down… and we had to have a service call at least 5 times… don’t bowl on lane 28… the cashier at the food stand gave me a horrible attitude because i didn’t know what i wanted… i was looking at the menu on top of her head when she greeted me… but i was the only person waiting there at the time… well, our lane finally broke down for good 10 minutes before closing time… 5 minutes after they tried fixing it the manager came and told me and my family that its down and its not coming back up… its 5 minutes to closing time anyways gave us a sideways smile and walked away… the only good thing was the everything pizza that takes 30 minutes to bake… never coming back here again…

I had a lot of fun, there’s a pool table for the cost of a $ 1 in tokens. You have to get the cue ball from the front desk by giving them your Id. The lady with the nose piercing at the food court has no manners she doesn’t smile and she seems annoyed like she hates her job. :(I would have expected better customer service because we spent like $ 50 on two large pizza and three large soda cups. The pitchers are not refillable. The pizza was good but it Took about 45 min to get it. They only supplied us with two napkins and there’s 9 of us. Also while bowling the balls kept getting stuck so they weren’t able to recycle and pop back up. This happened twice. And the last time they didn’t even fix it we had to leave because it was about to hit 1am. Also if you want the bumpers up for your kids you have to tell them and they do it manually. Which means we all had to play with the bumpers. All in all it was fun, but I don’t think it was really worth the money. $ 80 for three hours of bowling when they clearly state unlimited bowling. Its not unlimited if we only get to bowl till 1am. Also their credit card system was down so we had to pay in cash. Had a long line to wait in and only 1 lady was helping. Smh. Don’t think I’ll be back anytime soon.

This place has been here forever! When I was little, my aunt would take me here because it was close to grandma’s house and it was cheap. To carry on the tradition, I took my brothers here for a game. When I first got there, I was surprised to wait in a huge line. I was talking to the party in front of me and they told me the worker had been on the phone for 10 minutes while ignoring the several parties in line waiting to bowl. In the additional 10 minutes I stood in the line, she never once put the phone on hold to help anyone else out. Other workers came in and out of the booth, making us think they were here to help, but they all would grab something and leave. After waiting for an unnecessary amount of time, I finally paid to bowl. It was about $ 35 for 4 people, including shoe rentals.
My brothers were having fun bowling because it’s all fun to them regardless of what’s going on. In this alley, you don’t get to choose who gets bumpers and who doesn’t — everyone does or everyone doesn’t. This is because it’s an older alley and once you pull the bumpers up, it’s up for good. After figuring this out, everything else went pretty smoothly. until the end. It is my understanding that a bowling league was coming in to practice an hour after our game started. During our last round, however, they shut down the lanes. We were one of two games left in the rink at this point and they turned off our game before we finished. When I tried to ask someone to turn our game back on, no one was around.
It seems like this place is deteriorating from the inside out with poor customer service, old lanes, worn equipment, etc. I think if they’re worried about keeping the place open, they should consider getting better workers and possibly bringing back that welcoming atmosphere that families loved before.

Nice, Clean and friendly place to have some fun. They offer good deals on certain days, and have a food court with good pizza. They also have a full bar which I love! There usually isn’t any wait time to get you lanes (at least the times I’ve been here). They have a change Pool table for they guy to have some fun too and some arcade game as well.

Came in with a group of 20 of my friends on a Friday afternoon. We were taking advantage of a group and bowled for 2 hrs. Shoes were in good condition. The lanes we were on were ok. The computers that were tracking our scores were not perfect and it had some issues, but overall ok.
Food was pretty good. I had a coney dog combo which included fries which I swapped for a vanilla shake. The shake tasted kind of diluted and plain, but it was ok. The coney dog combo was a pretty good deal because I had 2 hot dogs. so good value and tasted good.
The establishment itself seemed ok. Seemed like the bowling alley is out of place and not near any other establishments. Bathroom were clean and well stocked. They have a nice bar and billiards area. I did not drink any beers but I guess there were a good deal because our group had about maybe 10 pitchers. Their arcade area is small too. Had an air hockey table and a basketball game and some other small games.
Overall good place, decent food, ok lanes.

Spent over $ 200.00 in this place trying to help out the local bowling spot for a employee staff event. Never again! First I’m told I couldn’t bring in cup cakes for my staff. They would need to be packaged from a bakery or store do to lability! Wow really and I’m ordering over $ 100.00 of food from your sorry snack bar. The assistant did her best to accommodate us. But it got worse from here, the lanes broke down throughout our session. It took two hours and 30 mins to bowl one frame because of the broke down lanes. Next time I’ll just take my business to Strikes in Elk Grove!!! Bowlers beware I would not recommend this place for any type of group event or party. For one person to bowl its approx 16 bucks an hour. The manager did provide free 2-​hour bowling passes to my entire staff however none of us will be back to use them. This place sucks flat out!!!

Great family friendly bowling alley with a food court, arcade, bowling leagues, and private rooms available for parties! Although it isn’t as new as some of the other places (i.e. Strikes, Country Club, etc.) it still remains one of my all time favorite places to go for a night out with friends! :) The crowd is usually calmer and more reserved versus those frequenting Country Club and Strikes – which is always a good thing! Lanes are kept in fairly good condition and I see them waxing them at least once every few hours. Their bowling balls are a bit outdated (i.e. have indentations, aren’t perfectly round, finger holes are dirty and misshaped, etc.) so it’s always a good idea to bring your own if you have one!
Food is pretty good considering this is a bowling alley – they serve pizza, hot dogs, burgers, chicken wings, fries, wraps, a 550 calorie or less menu, etc. I usually opt for the handcrafted burger with fries which literally puts me into a food coma! Their burgers are big and juicy and the fries resemble steak fries – thick and crispy! I’ve had their Xtreme pizza before (Italian sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, black olives, and peppers) it was decent but it’s not my top choice.
They have various specials throughout the week including:
1. $ 1 Mondays-​Beginning at 8PM there’s a $ 5 cover charge with $ 1 games and $ 1 shoe rentals with discounted drink specials
2. $ 2 Tuesdays – $ 2 games, shoes, and PBR beer after 8PM
3. College Night Thursdays – $ 7 unlimited bowling w/​shoes by showing your college ID. $ 2 PBR beers and $ 10 pizzas from 9PM-​1AM
4. Sunday Fundays – $ 6 Unlimited bowling for two hours after 6PM
5. Play Pack – For four people – $ 12.30/person – and includes unlimited bowling for two hours, shoe rental, one large pizza, and a pitcher of soda
I would highly suggest utilizing the above specials or a Groupon, otherwise, it can get expensive! They usually charge $ 17.19/every two hours all day on Saturdays, Friday nights (4PM-​1AM), and Sundays from 12−5PM. Aside from this, their usual two hour price is $ 8.19/every two hours. They also changed their hours on Saturdays and now close at 12AM!
Overall, a safe neighborhood bowling alley frequented by more experienced bowlers versus younger crowds. They offer good deals and workers are generally nice quick to answer any questions you may have. If you’re in the mood for a calm night with friends this is definitely a safe and fun place to bowl!

Horrible service! Why do you offer groupon & cry about it. They told me I couldn’t use my groupon because it wasn’t prime time? The coupon doesn’t even say anything about a certain time. It only said not valid on Saturdays after 6pm. The same lady told me 2 different days that I couldn’t use my coupon. 1^st time was because the lanes were reserved and the 2^nd time my code was invalid? It was a total waste time of my time driving there and back home, VERY disappointing!!! I will be getting my refund tomorrow and refuse to come here again. And «shift leader» whatever you’re name is, you’re a rude ass person!
*they don’t deserve my 1 star.

Cheap prices for bowling. The staff is decent. The area isn’t very nice. Definitely recommend coming here in a group. It was very fun.

Bowling here can be interesting at times. As land park lanes seems to attract an eclectic diverse bunch of people from the community. This alley has a classic kitschy Lebowski-​ish feel with antique ball returns and a settee seating area that seems to be circa 1950. I enjoy bowling on the lanes and love the real wood approach which provides an excellent glide. Especially since a solid wood approach seems to be rare on most west coast lanes.
This is a great place to enjoy a Saturday with the kids. Check online for groupon deals

My friends heard about their Sunday afternoon $ 5 bowling special, so we went tonight to check it out. $ 5 gets you two hours of bowling (shoe rental is an extra $ 3). Overall a great deal! We stopped going bowling because it was always really expensive, but with this, we might start again. We showed up at 4 and had no problem getting two lanes. The cashier was friendly (like bowling ally friendly — do you really expect top notch service from a bowling alley?)
The place is old, but their shoes are all new and not gross. The bathroom is clean. Our lanes did freeze up once or twice but a quick call to maintenance had them fixed quickly. My friend ordered pizza and it came out hot, in a timely manner and was edible. For a bowling alley, I would say this place is pretty darn good.

This place is OLD. I bowled here in college which was more than a few decades ago. Doesn’t seem like much has changed. For 2 hours of bowling w/​shoe rental was $ 8+ on a Tuesday afternoon. Had a Groupon for 2hours of bowling and shoe rental for 4 that cost $ 30. So we saved a whopping $ 3? They weren’t too busy and there were a number of lanes open, why would they put us right next to somebody. On the plus side they had lots 6 pound balls for the little kids and the shoes were new.

Came here on a Tuesday Night around 7:50pm. The place was busy but there were clearly some lanes free. When we inquired about getting one lane, we were told the wait time would 45 minutes to an hour. First thought was WOAH?! On a Tuesday night?!
The clerk explained that most people reserve lanes, since we didn’t have a lane reserved we’d have to wait for one to be available. So we took a seat in the main aisle that is parallel to the bowling lanes. While we sat I noticed 2 lanes open next to us. Around 8:10 when I saw they were still open, and we’d been waiting for 20 minutes, I decided to inquire about these lanes. We were informed it had been reserved for 8pm. Also that the lane next to it was down. Fine so we sat, after 5 minutes we noticed two lanes open up next to the original open two. We waited and waited. It’s now 8:40 there is no one on said RESERVED lane, and still the other 2 lanes remained open. I decided to inquire how long they wait for someone to show up for a reserved lane. Considering it was 40 minutes past the reserved time and still NO ONE was there.
I was informed the two lanes that opened up most recently were reserved for league bowling at 9pm, the one next to it was now fixed but no one can bowl next to LEAGUE, and that the one reserved was paid for already they were just waiting for the party to show up.
SO BASICALLY. 4 lanes open for almost an entire hour, and we still havent been assigned a lane, and neither has anyone else on the wait list (we were 3^rd on this said list).
SO FORGET IT. we left… No bowling for us.
I understand some people have reserved lanes and all, but seriously how long do you hold a lane open for people? and when MULTIPLE lanes are open, you’re just going sit there and let parties wait up to an hour or more for bowling lanes? I mean come on, all the emails I get about the great deals, and to go bowling there, and the one time I actually go and this is how it is? If you don’t have enough lanes to accomodate the general public AND LEAGUE then it shouldn’t be open for the public and LEAGUE on the same days. Also, maybe you should add a disclaimer at the bottom that says «in order to avoid ridiculous wait times, on weeknights where we advise great deals such as $ 2 games, call in advance, otherwise you probably won’t be able to bowl.»
From now on I’ll go to Strikes or Cap City Bowl, I’ve never had to sit through such ridiculousness at either of those places.

3.5 stars, but I rounded it off to give it 4 stars.
I come to AMF every once in awhile to cater to my Greenhaven folks that don’t like to explore places further out of their little cocoon (the Pocket area). It’s a nice place to bowl, but to me the place looks a bit aged, but it does gets the job done. Granted, not everything is old since they do have flat screen tv’s for score keeping. Bowling here is relatively cheap. On a recent Friday night, for four people, we each paid about $ 16 for two hours of unlimited bowl, including shoe rental.
Fair warning: while the area surrounding the bowling alley may seem unassuming, it can be a little ghetto at night so park at your own risk and try to hide all valuables in your car. They do have a security guard outside, but they can only do so much!
