Oak Ridge Bowling Center

I have now rolled here twice. My impressions: overall the facility is clean. I didn’t see too many people there to bowl, so it is really easy to get a lane. The prices are good. Excellent value in my book. I haven’t tried the café, nor have I tried the pro shop, so I can’t comment on that. I can comment on the lanes. They are the driest I have ever bowled on, period. There doesn’t seem to be any oil on the lanes at all. The approaches are clean and well-​maintained. No problems with sticking at all. But wow, can we at least have some oil on the lanes? I couldn’t even get a bit of oil on my towel. This a be why the place is so deserted. It’s not like I didn’t do well, shot a 192, 278, 232, but I was a full dot and a half shifted to find a strike.
I can’t see how they could be ABC sanctioned. BTW, I’ve rolled in a lot of houses and last time I bowled league, I carried a 200+ average.

Been a while since I have been inside a bowling alley, like most others this place has the weird stench of rented shoes in the air. It costs something like $ 7 for two hours. It wasn’t crowded at all and everyone that worked there was very nice. It didn’t blow me away, but it’s a bowling alley.
