Went to a wedding reception held here…read more Beautiful area and the building was wonderful inside. Lots of windows, natural wood and stone. The kitchen area was nice with plenty of counter space, two refrigerators and a huge freezer. The only negative would have been bigger trashcans. The ones provided were 15 gallon and didn't hold much. The deck area off the back was covered and it was the perfect spot for the overflow. If I were going to get married again (sorry honey, not trying to get rid of you) I would pick this place!

Note: this review is for the banquet and event services portion of Centennial Oaks -- not the golf…read morecourse or pro shop. We held our wedding reception in the reception hall of Centennial Oaks this October. Though the primary event planner left to take a job about 5 months before our event, the general manager (John) was in contact with us shortly after to assure our reception would go off without a hitch. The size is nice and the room configuration can be switched around to accommodate anywhere from 50-300 guests. There is a nice view from 2 different sets of glass doors looking out to the course. We were allowed access to the space the day before to decorate, and John was on hand to answer last minute questions including table set up, tear down, and serving guidelines. About 105 people attended our reception and it never seemed overly crowded. The buffet lines for dinner were fast moving, and Centennial Oaks provided staff to dismiss tables. For our tasting, Centennial Oaks staff worked with us to arrange a time that fit with our schedule. They were conscious of our budget, provided great suggestions, and were happy to alter our appetizer order as the size of the reception grew. We found the price to be fair, it fit our budget perfectly, and the guarantee cost for liquor and food was reasonable. Staff the night of the reception were very friendly and quick to respond. Several of our guests commented on how surprised they were at the cost of drinks we did not host -- much less than they expected, which was nice to hear. Cons: -We did not receive a proper seating chart and table information until four days before the reception. This caused a bit of a hassle as we had to re-do seating charts based on a number we had been provided earlier in the summer. -At times, the management was difficult to reach and answers to relatively easy questions seemed to take longer. -We received a refund check and when attempting to deposit it, realized the club had not signed the check; thus the bank would not accept it. D'oh! We have yet to receive a response from management about sending a new check. Pros (finish on a positive note): -Fair and reasonable pricing. -Appetizers were excellent. -Easy to work with via email contact. -Staff assisted with tear-down at end of the night, leaving less for family members to take care of. -Great guidelines for decorations -- we were allowed to hang some hand-made decorations from the ceiling and set-up of the reception was a breeze. -Great space that didn't break the bank, way less than other reception sites we priced in the Waverly and Cedar Falls area!

One of the best parks that I have been too! That much is for certain! In this part of Iowa people…read moreare very proud of their yards and parks and therefore they are kept up in a stupendous fashion. The exact opposite from where I come from in Wyoming where people just don't seem to care or the soil is too poor to have a good yard. This park has several playgrounds on of which is a huge jungle gym made out of wood, a great swimming pool, walking/jogging paths, sports fields and so on. You could really spend a whole day here. Apparently lots of people do because everyone from the county seems to at least know about this park or goes there when it is nice out. Definitely a stop worth making if you are in this neck of the woods and need to take a break.

This review is mostly for restaurant only. I have been to the Comet Bowl restaurant now and then…read moreover the past 40 or so years, but it has probably been 8 years since my most recent visit, until my return, which was just a few evenings ago. The food is quite good. There was just a hint of perhaps stale grease in the French fries, but overall, they along with my burger were fine. The menu is large for this type of establishment. It was a weekday evening and the place was about half full, which is probably a good sign, considering the fact it was a weekday and there are several other restaurant choices within a mile. Bowling leagues for the evening were yet to start and I would guess the place gets busier at that time. Service was quite fast and the staff was friendly. The place was clean. I used the restroom, which is part of the locker room area and it was clean too. It has been a long time since I was in the bowling/game area and I could not help how this place seemed quite modern, and yet somehow interestingly retro too. I like the look. I would return to the restaurant again and might just have to try to bowl a game or two.
