WOW what a great time I had with my friend. We started with mini golf hard holes and then were in arcade for hour. Skee ball and basketball are fun. Lots of racing games and shooting. Karaoke was happening Can't believe this is in Jackson read more

See all

The person behind the counter doesn't know how to work the machine for a credit card. And then she tried to make me feel like I was dumb. And then she said I still have more games. I said "you know what I'm out of here". You've lost my business. read more

This place is great! My son and I were in Sutter Creek for the night and we were told of this bowling alley. We went on a Thursday afternoon and we had a blast! Prices were very reasonable and we bowled three games each. They do $20 unlimited arcade on Thursdays. They have a great selection of games, including several fun pinball games! They have a full bar with great beers on tap. They do food as well, but we didn't eat. My son already asked to go back. read more

I can't say enough good things about this bowling alley. The staff goes out of their way to make sure you have a great experience each and every time. The place is clean, food is good, and the beer is cold. What more could you ask for? Friendly people? They have that too! Thanks Tia, Jessie, Nick, and the whole staff for all that you do. read more

Updated: I have updated my review based on my actual experience at this bowling alley, and because the business responded below saying they will look into the text issue. I appreciate it. Original: Can't believe I'm leaving this review. The place is decent. But whatever you do, don't sign up for their text alerts. I've unsubscribed a million times now for a couple years and continue to get texts from them from new numbers. It's driving me insane. read more

This bowling alley is the very worst bowling alley I have ever been too. The owner and the manager couldn't care less if the lanes work or the approaches are clean. They care that they suck the money out of your pocket. They are the only bowling alley in Amador County. The owner does not have the balls to talk to me because he is scum. This will be the last league I bowl there and I would quit but do not want to let down my teammates. read more

We had a party coordinator name Tia she is so great with kids. Seems like she really enjoys her job and she made everything smooth and wonderful for event. Anyhoo we love Tia she's amazing!! read more

super fun crowd and a surprisingly great bar. I never run out of things to do there and the workers are super nice!

The service provided and the games available at GCL are excellent. Nick was our bartender and he really stood out in his professionalism and ease to talk with. Really made our night! read more

Went day after Christmas with 4 adults and two toddlers. Place was VERY busy. Played mini golf while we waited for open lane. Good course except for the hill like collars around the holes. Very frustrating for adults as well as kids. We had NEVER seen these before and hope to never again. Kids love the large bounch house with the basket ball size rubber balls to play with. Lots of arcade games. The kids used automatic "bumpers" and the ball slide. Caught on quick. Modern scoring. Group next to use did not have any bowling etiquette. Very distracting. Had hot pretzel, fries and drinks. All goid. But only 2 small chicken strios in order. Didn't match the picture on the menu. Staff friendly. Bathrooms clean. Handicap accessible. Nice place to take the family. read more

Family friendly! We love coming here. The food is great, bowling is fun, arcade is a blast! Haven't shot pool yet but will next time we go! The staff is helpful! read more

Gold Country Lanes - Fun for the whole family! - Bowling Near Me - Sutter Creek, California

Great staff, always clean, good food, fun environment! One of my favorite places to spend a Fri/Sat night.

Food is not the best but the ambiance is good and the drinks were good! Customer service was good We come here on e a year and we enjoy it every time! read more

Service I got up to the front and the lady was super rude/dismissive every time I come in I have to wait 10 minutes just for someone to come up and talk to me. read more

Just had my granddaughters birthday party here and I must say I was impressed! The place had a lot for the kids to do. The party deal was good. The kids loved the laser tag! Pizza was not bad at all. I think overall they did a pretty good job. The only thing was there wasn't enough seats for everyone but given the space it was understandable. I will come back. read more

I love bringing my family here. Price is decent. Food is a 5/10. Employees are friendly and helpful. Cleanliness is a 8/10.

Clean house and well kept lanes would go back for sure. Lots of games and good bar to drink at as well

Stayed out close to there and this was the best place to have fun and relax. The staff was great and food was delicious!

We'd never been here before and thought we'd give it a try. What a fun time! Went on a Thursday night and they had a league going, but got us right in. The place looks new inside and we were told it had been recently remodeled. Comfortable seating, friendly staff any good fries/pretzels. Plus, they have gutter bumpers you can set to pop up for only the bowler that needs them. It's a drive for us, but I'm sure we'll be back. read more

Went there last Sunday afternoon for my sons birthday. Facility is clean, plenty of seating at each lane, the kids loved the animated score screens. We ordered food from the bar & even played some laser tag before leaving. Good pricing, helpful staff, and overall a nice facility! The people working (esp. the guy at the check-in desk... he was amazing!) were very helpful. For as busy as they were, they definitely could've used extra hands on deck. They were all busting their butts to make sure everyone was taken care of. read more

Gold Country Lanes - a group of people playing a bowling game - Bowling Near Me - Sutter Creek, California

We were introduced to this bowling alley by some friends. We've passed it several times and never thought to visit. We had the best time! It newly remodeled, they have food and drinks and music from the digital jukebox. We were there a Saturday evening and they started the glow bowl which was really fun. The food is pretty good considering its bowling alley food, what you would expect. The drinks were very good, greats margaritas. I'm looking forward to visiting again as we had the best time! read more

The staff were EXTREMELY NICE AND VERY FRIENDLY!!!!!!!! The loaded quesadilla was amazing. i just wish they had grilled cheese sandwiches or hot ham and cheese. ATM is available for use. Parking ample. Restrooms immaculate. read more

I love bowling here. Especially after 10pm because it's only $10. Everyone is really polite and nice however the newest bartender named Ashley is beyond rude. Anything I said to her or asked her, she responded with such a rude tone as if I was stupid for not knowing. She had a matter of fact and smart ass attitude. The people with me even noticed it too. Shes very rude. We are locals and word of mouth is everything. The rest of the place is great but she is horrible. read more

Plenty of parking....went on a Saturday afternoon, busy but we were able to get a lane with no waiting. Under $50 for 3 people, 3 games each which I think 2 hours of family time is worth the price. Clean place, including bathrooms. We didn't try the food but we did get beer at the bar. We had a blast and we will be back. read more

Had our daughters Birthday there yesterday. Had booked her party for noon, they called back and said they already had a party and had to move us to 1pm. I told them we would need to eat first and they stated that was not a problem at all. Well we got down there and checked in and was told we were not eating till 2pm and they wouldnt change it because they were to busy. When the kids pizza came they were supposed to get 3 and only 2 came out. They just put them on the table and left. We served the kids ourselves and then also had to go ask where their drinks were as they didnt give them any(the girl said we had to go order them some but they were supposed to come with). When I went up to the manager he said oh ya they get 3 pitchers what do you want...(not sure why all this was not gone over or asked when I got their early and placed an adult food order 1 hour in advance. The 3rd pizza came almost 10 min later. The same thing happened for the adults food, got our pizza but no nachos till over 10 min later! Had to wait in line to ask where the kids drinks were, had to wait in line to have them fix multipal issues with the lanes(enough that 1 group of kids didn't get to finnish their game(I told them they could finnish after presents but they shut off their lane 5 min into gift opening so oh well I guess). Staff was friendly but we had to do everything ourselves, find out where our food was, get our kids drinks well after their food was served, had to stand in line everytime and wait for someoe to help with our booked party :( Waisted about 30 min of our timed party waiting in line to constantly get issued resolved or help for our party. They never called to go over anything. Manager said he called me yesterday and that I answered but the connection was bad...ya I never got 1 single call the day before. Wasnt me they called, his response to all our issues was just "oh sorry". We wont be having another party there nor will be going back to just bowl with our family. It was a complete mess! read more

very sad service at the desk. Restrooms were dirty five girls behind a desk talking and on their phones instead of helping customers or cleaning in the city area. Spilt drinks, tacky floor they do not come around to make sure it is a clean place. I've been bowling for 40 years and this is probably one of the dirtiest and unprofessional staff at a bowling alley, not very good management. The owners need to have better management and better supervision. I know they're all about making money. read more

This place just got updated and it is so much nicer now! They have comfortable seating with couches for when you bowl, fun arcade games, good food, nice bartenders, and laser tag to come soon! Overall such a fun place to come hangout now. read more

Excellent service. Very accommodating with our group of 36. Amazing charcuterie board! Thanks. Everyone had a great time!

Came here for a quick game with family while I was in town.(There were only six of us in total.) They assigned us lanes and then moved us twice. Once before we even started bowling and a second time in the MIDDLE of a game. All because we were there on a league night. I get that the leagues are how you make money in a small town bowling alley.. but you can't tell me you don't know how many lanes to set aside when it's a tournament night. The technology on the lanes was cool, though. Better than most back east. read more

Worst bowling experience EVERYTIME! My most recent visit turned from a fun family activity for my stepsons 11th bday to a disappointed and wasted evening. Save yourself the frustration and money and go elsewhere. Not only do most of the lanes break every 2 bowls and you spend your paid hour waiting for a technician or any employee to care enough to help you but the disrespect that you get from the tween girl Alexis at the front makes it obvious that the low standard of professionalism is why this place has gone down hill. Once this place has your money they think they can talk to you however they want and you have to deal with it. Well no thank you. My family and I will not be returning. We prefer to drive the additional 30 minutes to Black Oak from now on. read more

Valencias checking in... Let me start out with this is the only family/adult place to go in Amador County. That being said, it's never shy of a good time. Sorry tried for a dramatic intro. GLC provides fun and entertainment for families in Amador and Calaveras counties, especially on the weekends. When you stay "up the hill" sometimes a drive to the city can be overwhelming and tiresome when you just want some good ol fam time. If you want to go out for a night with your significant other, or take the family out for some good times, you can get it full circle at GLC. GLC has arcade games for the kids w/ pool table, they are available for B Day parties, they serve food and have a full bar w/ pool and shuffle board, oh did I mention BOWLING!!! Lol, ok sorry. Cosmic bowl has music, a black light mood vibe, and good company the weekends. This is a perfect family night or a night with friends who just want to stray from the norm and enjoy some fun. GLC also has great energy on their tournament nights. It's always packed and the crowd is always lively. Where your local or just passing through it's worth a stop and to be honest sometimes needed Enjoy, read more

This place is a great one to hang out at and have a good time. One attendee by the name of Stefano helped my family and I out. Very helpful and attentive to us. I needed to write this on yelp, because multiple times has this young man' customer service been great! Your great service keeps bringing us back for a good time! read more

Fun place to hang out, great atmosphere perfect for the kids and the adults too. Food is pretty good the only real downside is the bar could use some help at times it could take forever to get drinks but other then that I highly recommend you go check them out. read more

Our family of 4 went for the first time over the holiday weekend after finding out it existed. We were very pleased with the service we received. Cosmic bowling started at 6 PM and for 3 hours you can play for $14 per person. We were allowed to start a little before 6 PM and even given 2 lanes as our 8 year old required bumpers. Food is inexpensive and tasty. Couldn't ask for more since there is nothing like it in the area. read more

Cool bowling alley! Played arcade games and the games took my money, shut down. The man was nice enough to give me back my money. Overall good and kind people. read more

I'm not a bowler. Went here to watch out-of-market football on Sunday. The lounge is a nice facility, plenty of tables, 15 different kinds of draft beer at the bar. They have regulation pool tables, 3 I think, they have darts. One large and 3 smaller TVs behind the bar. Couple other big screens around the room. It seems that groups would be well accommodated here. There's only one other place in town that has the DirecTV NFL Package. By the way, the other place is Hoot'n Annies and if Dave's not there, the ladies don't know how to run the TV's... pretty sad for a sports bar. ((( Update : My wife and I ended up coming here for the rest of the football season, New Year's Eve and Superbowl))) FOOD HERE WAS VERY GOOD and VERY well-priced. All in all it was a good value. I had the Minerburger and my wife had the Club Sandwich. Both were very tasty and well sized so we didn't feel like we had to stop for food on the way home. Don't think you'll find a better club sandwich anywhere. The onion rings are first rate! Never seems to be much of a crowd here, so if you come in weekly chances are they'll get to know your name. Exception to this is NEW YEAR'S EVE... I don't know if you can find a larger crowd anywhere in the county than this place for New Years. The people-watching was first class! read more

Awesome family fun great staff good food. The kids bowl free program is awesome threw the summer

Horrible! I decided to take my daughter and niece bowling after seeing a movie, and decided to go to Gold Country Lanes because it's close to home. We go in, we pay, we get our shoes and our lane. I then go to the bar to order a drink. The bartender had a person she was serving when I walked up. That person ordered, they got their drink. The bartender went on to ask the man that was already sitting at the bar if wanted anything. Then she proceeded to make 2 drinks for him. At which point she looked at me, smiled and said, I'll be right with you. I just need to make these 2 drinks. She makes the two drinks, and another person walked up. She then helped them. And skipped over me. She did this one more time, and I started to get upset. But held my tongue. I did get my drink. But when I had an issue with a jam on my lane, the girl at the counter rolled her eyes and with attitude asked "What lane?" Like how dare I speak to her. Idk why they were that way towards me, because they weren't that way with other people there. But then again I was the only black person there, so....you tell me. It wouldn't be the first time I have dealt with discrimination and racism here. Not saying that's the case but it makes sense. Would give ZERO stars if I could. read more

Tommy is AWESOME!!!! Came in with the family Late at night reunion...pool was fun, drinks were good, service was GREAT!!!!! Love this place!!! Tommy was the best bar tender. Friendly & knowledgeable... Had a great time. Will definitely come again read more

Gold Country Lanes - a group of people at a bar - Bowling Near Me - Sutter Creek, California

This place has needed help for awhile. It needs updating. Owner is pretty passive. The staff runs that place most of the time, not him. While staff has gotten better. Sometimes its still lacking. The jr league needs more people helping them. Thats what it was suppose to be. And not cater to only the good bowlers. Also rules need to apply to everyone not just when you want to enforce them. Bathrooms need to be cleaner. Im here every week so i know. Most of the bartenders are good. Theres a new gal in there that isnt so great with making drinks. Sometimes wish the casino would of helped this place or built a new one. read more
