Super fun night at Sandhills Bowling! I had my bday party there with 16 of my friends...the new manager, Steve, went above and beyond to create a great event for us. Kudos for awesome bar service and food. We really really enjoyed the party!

The man at the front was nice and he has a really round head so hope this found the right person

Great place! I cannot recommend this place enough. the staff is more than accommodating, and the overall establishment is well-kept.
We had My Son's birthday party here, & we ended up taking up about four lanes and the staff did nothing but ensure everything went smooth. The only downfall, you cannot bring it outside food to support your party. But overall, this is a great place to go for family fun or to get together with friends.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - candace c.West End, NC02211Jul 23, 2022
I had a great time with my grandson on a weekday! We bowled three games and afterwards played air hockey in the arcade room and he loved it !

Excellent Pro Shop. Adam knows his stuff.
Three leagues a week. Lanes seem to always be wet. Not sure of the pattern. Seems like easy street.
Ball returns could use some work. Multiple lanes and still get nicks in my ball. Not happy about that hence the 3 star review.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Seth H.Fuquay-Varina, NC014Jan 24, 2022
This is outrageous!!! The deals have been the same for over 2 years now. This was once my favorite bowling alley, but whoever is managing now is hiring scum. Don't do this to people man! What's the point? After I was charged this much for water(6.50) I asked for a dr.pepper instead of water to try to get my moneys worth. The guy doesn't pour out the water (mind you I had no where to dump the water or else I would have myself) but instead just puts the dr.pepper in with the water. The guy at the concession wouldn't have been hired if it were my business, but I guess it's not, so I downloaded yelp to at LEAST get some disciplinary action going on here. I knew the price it should have been, so I handed the guy my card without him reading the total out to me first. I saw the receipt, gave a hefty tip, and forgot about it....until it ringed later. Not only did I spend double the price it should have been for the bowling which was 10 dollars a person for unlimited after 6!!!!! Or 5? I can't remember but it's never been 7!!!!!

Okay it's been a year and things have improved greatly. The new owners have really begun to try to step it up a notch. They are trying improve the appearance as well as the lanes themselves. Since my earlier reviews with all the damage to my bowling balls I have to save nothing is coming back with craters anymore! Adam in the pro shop is top notch as well as coach Greg. The staff is competent and best of all super nice which makes bowling here enjoyable. If I have two complaints they are that the balls are coming back filthy with black rubber on them still. But rubbing alcohol gets it off fast, although I have to clean the ball every six shot or so. The other mystery is the oiling routine. I have yet to figure out when and why the lay down oil. Some leagues get oil, some don't. Some days they whole place is drier than the Mojave other days the lanes are slicker than....
All in all the improvements are working and leagues are going strong.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0May 22, 2018Previous reviewSince my last two reviews things have gotten better. It has new owners, which actually happened before my first review but I needed to give them time to make changes. How much better, well it's still one of the worst if your an avid bowler. If you just want somewhere to bowl with the kids it does the job. They have been oiling the lanes more consistently but the lanes are quite dirty so have your cleaner on hand. The pin setting is okay but the pin setters as well as as the returns break down a lot. Less balls coming back with big dings and very nasty grooves in them. On the very bright side, everyone is very nice who work there and the pro shop is pretty good as well. It appears to be going in the right direction and hopefully will continue to improve.
Aug 15, 2017Previous reviewI have since looked into having the bowling alley decertified. It won't make any difference to the kiddie bowling but this place should have no certification until they make lane improvements and clean the lanes on a regular basis. It has new owners and I truly hope that they get the message. This may seem harsh, but my bowling equipment is not cheap and no bowler should have their balls gouged as bad as mine were. I now bowl at Triad lanes in Greensboro. Very well maintained, Great leagues, very nice and competent staff. Well worth the hour drive for league play.
Jul 22, 2017Previous reviewOur area is not a bowling mecca but I expected better. I went here to try the lanes in hopes that it might be a good place for leagues. First, the lanes are poorly maintained at best. The approaches are dirty, the lanes are not oiled and my brand new ball as well as another ball of mine came back gouged fairly deep after a few throws. It took over an hour to remove the rubber marks and dirt from them and I have since been told if you want the lanes cleaned and dressed it an extra fee.The pin setting looked marginal as well. I had been bowling with my brother in law and his kids and wanted to treat them all.It was a Saturday and when I went to pay I got the sticker shock. Three games for two adults plus one game for each kid and three show rentals was $45. That's steep. Add in the minuscule hotdogs for four and it came to $66.00! So basically I just payed $66 to have two balls damaged. I won't even think of having the pro shop try a repair on them. Who knows what I'd get. So it's going to have to be league bowling an hour away up in Greensboro.

My beau and I went to bowl on a Sunday evening at around 730pm and we were able to get a lane without a wait. There were still several parties around but it wasn't packed or rowdy and overall it was a good experiecne. I'm no bowling expert and I've only ever gone a couple of times but it seemed like the equipment and lanes weren't as well maintained as it could have been. It seemed a bit dingy.. I'll be back at least one more time to get a better gauge on the bowling alley. On the plus side, they provide more services than bowling. They have a concessions stand, an arcade, and billiard tables. The prices are reasonable or at least it was on a Sunday and they have daily specials. Furthermore, I don't know if they raise the gutters upon request, but they do have dinosaur assist slides for kiddies who may want to play but aren't able to throw the balls themselves.

Center itself is in good shape. Bowling is reasonably priced. Food is priced well for a bowling alley. But the food is actually terrible. Hot dogs were cold with stale buns. Chips tasted stale. Wings were freezer burned. No ranch. No pickles. It was awful.

We have come to this bowling center on a few occasions and each time we were able to get a lane without a wait. The facility is really clean and most of the employees were very friendly. Except for the lady working the concession stand tonight. She was extremely unprofessional. From slamming pitchers down, throwing said pitcher in the sink and basically yelling at customers. I was highly disappointed. Unfortunately, her behavior put a cloud over our evening but all in all, we enjoyed our session.
