AMF Alpha Lanes

Me and a friend came and Bowled 10 games and were charged $ 151.00, would be better if they charged by the hour, won’t be back here anymore

WAY OVER PRICED… me and one other person, both of us rented shoes, $ 124.00 was the total for just the bowling… Are you freaking kidding me!!! We bowled nine games and at six bucks each person each game that racks up quick… Won’t be back on a Saturday for sure, kinda upset that they don’t offer an hourly rate.

Great food and fun! We make Saturday nights fun! Center has been remodel and looks amazing! Friendly service and happy people. Always a fun time!

Great cheap priced night out with family!!! My cousins and I came here for a ladies night, because main event was charging $ 34 per hour To bowl. Here we paid $ 5.95 a piece per game plus the $ 4 for shoes each. Adding in our food and drinks we still saved immensely. It was very easy to get a lane, everyone was so very nice and helpful and to top it off the music was fantastic. We had a whole dance party to our selves in our lane, food, drinks, save money and bowling. It was an awesome cousins night we will definitely go back.

It’s ok for a bowling alley. Don’t expect anything to cheap. That’s how they make their money. If you want deals you have to check their specials. That’s really the only way to get around it

My family and I have been going here for years but we have taken time off and have not been back for the last six months so we decided to go bowling for the memorial holiday but however we will not be back. The employees and management (Amber Mccrea) is very rude. I just can imagine how many other repeat or new customers that this place is losing on a daily basis with the current staff and management that they have. We witnessed several incidents at this location one in which the food was sent back three times due to it being cold and stale. The bathroom was worse than any outhouse. Word of advice if you have a coupon please make sure that you let them see it prior to checking out because usually they have no knowledge of specials going on. When we first arrived they did not have lanes. We requested 2 lanes and the manager said she would accommodate us however after waiting 25 mins she said she could not give us 2 lanes. She was very fake in her response and kept cutting me off when talking and was acting and responding in a very smartallic manner. Needless to say we left.

50 $ for 3 games /​two people, no hourly rate offered I asked for any deals. I don’t mind paying for quality however that was not to be found here. Not to mention being greeted by being told they were doing a shift change and I was left standing there. I’ve done customer service this was annoying.
I’m not from the area so there won’t be a repeat trip.

In three trips here the past year, I have had a positive experience on each occasion. The staff did a good job of managing the crowd vs. the lane (on two of the three occasions, it was near capacity). There were never issues with the lanes malfunctioning (i.e. score not kept right, machine getting confused over what frame it is, etc.). The premises is clean, well kept, and has a variety of other entertainment options about (several TVs, a traditional bar, and small arcade).
The staff is friendly and helpful, if you have an issue, there is someone to take care of it.
At the crowded times, it was difficult to find some size of balls. We had a younger kid with us and had to scour the whole place for a size 8 (once we found it, he got three strikes in a row, LOL).
At times, the bar can get slammed and move slowly. That happened once of the three visits, the other times they were able to keep up.
I did not try the food, I would not be surprised if it isn’t gourmet, but there were options.
This is a great, local place that can be counted on for good service when you want to have a bowling night out. There’s not a lot of frills (they do have rock and bowl late). Prices seem reasonable ($ 7 per game plus shoes or something like $ 20 for two hours and that includes shoes). I personally prefer this venue to Main Event, ME would have a lot more non-​bowling options, obviously This is more a old school bowling alley.

Stay away. They aren’t clear about prices and what’s a better value. The guy up front is rude and you will wait a long time to get in or questions answered. The bathrooms are dirty and the food mediocre. Not worth it at all.

I think this alley has a lot of great features. Tons of lanes, adequate equipment, concessions and a bar. However, the 2 girls working the counter during our last visit were some of the rudest folks I’d ever run across. The place was practically empty and we had a group that included 2 kids under 5. They stuck us in the middle alleys even after we requested to be moved to an outside lane as to not disturb the other groups around us. «No can do» your lanes have already been reserved. We had difficulty getting the games started as they set up the two lanes in league play. When we asked for help the comment I got back was «we’ll just start over. I’ll erase your scores.»
I felt like I was interrupting her personal conversations with two other gentleman who clearly were not there to bowl. All in all we made it work. Sorry to the bowlers around us!

I wasn’t that impressed with this location but its the only thing in the area so we had to settle. We went with a group and headed to the bar to get drinks and noticed that the drinks were pretty weak. I thought it might have just been the round of drinks that we ordered but the second round came out the same way. So you end up paying premium price and get half the alcohol. The bowling party was pretty fun but it ended a little too quick and was a little pricey. It took us awhile to get our lane because it was really crowded. Overall I think there are better options out there you just have to look for them.

Decently priced, average bowling. There really isn’t anything spectacular about this place, but the games are a lot more affordable than Main Event.
$ 6.50 per game, per person. $ 4.50 shoe rental. And this was for a Saturday night.
The place smells funky and looks really dated, so don’t expect much when you walk in. There is a bar there though, in case you’re feeling hungry/​thirsty.

Way over priced for children!

i used to go to the bowling alley over on diana ln, but they closed that amf, so i was forced to come to this one instead…
we had a coupon from amf for 2 hours of bowling for 14 bux, shoes included! what a STEAL! welp, no. even though the fine print didn’t say so, the really rude woman at the front desk grimaced at us and informed us that rock ‘n bowling would be starting in an hour. …we didn’t really understand why this was a problem. we just kind of smiled and she said «you can’t use the coupon for rock n bowling so you would only be able to bowl for 58 minutes». So we were like, ok we’ll just pay rack rate so we can start bowling asap! she said we couldn’t do that either, bc we would have to leave when rock ‘n bowling started in an hour. UGH. zero flexibility. so we reserved a lane and headed to the bar for some drank. the bartender was the only redeeming part of this bowling alley. he helped us figure out what the best deal on beer is – (fyi its a bud light or miller light pitcher for 9 bux). we tried to play pool but their one table had been ‘bought’ by someone. and since this is webster, they allow smoking in the bar… what is this?! 1968?! Anyway, since we couldn’t play pool we headed over to their sorry excuse of a game room. Dysfunctional air hockey table stole our money because it wasn’t even plugged in… and someone apparently had a similar issue because there was a giant hole kicked in the side of it. oh and when we told the lady about the air hockey table, she told us «NO REFUNDS» and shrugged her shoulders. wow. great service. she wouldn’t even come over and look at the thing. as for the rest of the ‘game room’ (if you can even call it that), the only other game was some driving game and the rest were all REALLY crappy claw games. wah wahhh.
on top of that, apparently parents think that they can bring their kids to this bowling alley and they can just roam around willy-​nilly with no supervision. these kids were running around like wild banshees doing whatever they wanted, and no one was laying down the law.
we were estatic when 10 o’clock rolled around because we were sick of staring at the stained, outdated carpet for 45 minutes – because there was absolutely nothing else to do. at ten on the button (as we were instructed), we headed to the desk to try to pay for this lane we reserved. unfortunately the line was so long it snaked out of the front door and into the parking lot. they only have one (absolutely unhelpful) person working at the counter, so things were moving at a snails pace. we realized we weren’t going to be able to bowl before 12am at this point, so we chugged our beers and left.
this was an extremely disappointing experience. if you want to bowl in clear lake your only options are main event and amf alpha – both of which suck pretty hard. :\

Ummm. Yes I bowl. Yes, I gave this «hole» a single star. Equipment…1979. Lanes are still wood I think. Which I like. But I wouldn’t throw a «good» ball here. Unless chips are ok with you. If your looking for a hole to go «rock n bowl», get high in the parking lot and start chain smoking when the lights go off while you and your chimp friends throw candy colored house balls at some ragged pins, get you some. Yes the pro shop was ok. But it doesn’t make up for the rest of the problems. Nothing has changed here in 20 years. Good Luck.

Great place and very friendly staff.

Decently priced average bowling alley. Service was friendly. Balls were too nicked-​up, lanes too slick, and décor was old. If you are just looking for cheap bowling, this place will do. Nothing to wow about though.

This is MY alley. I’ve grown up with this alley and make sure to stop by each time I’m in town. It’s clean, family friendly, relatively modern, but know it can get smoky. The bowling balls could stand to be refreshed.
Tuesday 10pm-​1am, Friday 11pm-​2am, and Saturday 11pm-​2am are Xtreme bowling nights. Pricing varies (I think it goes up in the off-​school times) but last time I was there Tuesday was $ 9+tax, Fri and Sat are both $ 16+tax and includes shoes. Xtreme bowling is when they turn out all the lights except blacklights and cheesy disco balls, and also play really loud music. Just a day or 2 ago it was some national bowling radio station that had a good fun variety. A little bit country, a little bit rock and roll, a little bit pop (think: Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy, Baby got Back, I love Rock & Roll, and Poker Face)
All other times prices are reasonable, of course with higher rates on weekends and nights. They used to run a Sunday morning special, but I think they’ve changed it since.
The drinks are okay, but the food is typical bowling alley food, over priced cardboard pizza. Eat before you come since they don’t allow outside food in.

I SO SUCK AT BOWLING!!! However going on a bowling outing with your buds can be such a blast. I really have fun when I go here and I know that you will enjoy it as well. This place ROCKS! Great deals, they even have a bar in a back room if you just want to sit around, relax, shoot the breeze and get your drink on! The bartender hooks up some tasty drinks, I had a huge piña colada $ 6. They have a full menu with plenty of goods to choose from, pizza, sw eggrolls, ect… Specials start from Wed. with Dollar Mania $ 5pp cover but when you go in they have $ 1games $ 1 shoe rental $ 1 snacks and even drink specials. Thurs is $ 9.70pp for 4hr of bowling including shoe rental, drink specials and KAREOKE night in the back bar lounge $ 4 yaegar bombs too with beer pitcher specials. Or Take your game to an unexplored new level with Xtreme Bowling –lights go off! Fri-​Sat from 11p-​2am for $ 17.24pp — an adventure of lights, cranking up loud great music, plus wild bowling challenges, and (of course) your favorite food & beverages. Whether your planning an adults only night out or if you wanna take your kids bowling tonight, check this place out. STRIKE!!! OR GUTTER BALL, your call!
