    This place is nice and family even for babies. The only thing was not good was the bathroom the…read morebaby changer was blocking the door for the bathroom.

    If you're thinking about buying a family pass at Country Bowl next year, DON'T. As someone who runs…read morea business, I can tell you this place is a blueprint for bad management, poor priorities, and disrespect toward paying customers. We bought the family pass hoping to enjoy the summer, but almost every single time we tried to use it, we were turned away. Not once. Not twice. Every time. The lanes were packed with league bowlers or regular-paying customers. It's obvious they favor leagues and pros while treating pass holders like an afterthought. That's not just bad service, it's a slap in the face to families and beginners. Their hours are ridiculously short, and the season ends in August, giving you barely three months to use the pass. Compare that to Shasta Lanes, which runs May through October and has 24 lanes (Country Bowl only has 16). At Shasta Lanes, we use out family pass and bowled every single day, no drama, no excuses. That's how you honor a pass. And here's the real kicker: - Shasta Lanes opens earlier almost every day and maintains consistent midday hours. - Country Bowl has sporadic hours, often opening late during league hours or closing early, especially problematic for families trying to plan outings. - Shasta's season is twice as long, giving pass holders far more chances to bowl. - Country Bowl's setup is poorly planned in comparison, and it shows. Let's talk about customer service? Country Bowl's staff literally grabbed my phone to "verify" who's using the pass, like I'm trying to cheat. Hands all over my device, every visit. It's invasive, rude, and completely unnecessary. Meanwhile, the place is crawling with drunks, making it uncomfortable for families. Seating is cramped, the food is overpriced frozen junk, and the whole vibe is off. Now let's talk about Shasta Lanes. The owner personally checks in with us, says hello, and makes sure we're having a good time, every time. Their fries are actually good, the menu is fresh and fairly priced, and the staff treat you like a valued guest, not a problem. They even honored my wife's coupon from our pass, even when she wasn't bowling so I can practice my shots. That's real customer service. That's respect. Country Bowl is outdated, overcrowded, and clearly built around league favoritism. If you're not a pro or part of a league, you're invisible. That's not how you build loyalty. That's not how you run a business. And that's exactly why we'll never go back. If you want real value, longer hours, better food, and a place that actually respects your money, go to Shasta Lanes. Country Bowl? It's a waste of time, gas, money, patience and worst of all, it disappointed my daughters, who just wanted to bowl with their friends. So yeah, I'm disappointed too.
