I called the Cal Oaks Bowling Center last weekend, because I needed to put together a last minute bowling event for a family gathering. I spoke to Jackie, who was very helpful, told me I could reserve a group of lanes for a couple of hours, told me the per person charge and took a small deposit to reserve the lanes.
We had a group of about 25 people, of which 17 bowled including my 80 year old grandma. I was really pleased with the process, reserving the lanes made it totally easy and worthwhile to take everyone bowling and removed the hassel of waiting for a lane on a busy weekend.
As far as bowling alleys go, this was nice, in good condition, etc. Modern-ish computer equipment, pinsetters, and ball returns. Staff was friendly and pleasant, and I would totally have another function or event here based on this experience. -

Mr. Ninja: Fun place for bowling. Great deal at 3:30pm which includes shoe rentals and 2 hours of bowling for around 9 dollars.
Mrs. Ninja: Only issue was that they did not volunteer the information until we asked... -
Review from Nino R.
I remember when bowling was my life. I bowled in 4 different leagues during the winter and entered numerous tournaments, placing in most but not winning any of them. I loved bowling, but moving the SoCal took that love away from me.
For one thing, the leagues here aren't as competitive and the pay outs aren't as high as I'm used to. The league options at Brunswick are no different. I was hoping to find a high pot 4 or 5-man league but didn't see any to my liking.
The open bowling options are ok. Rent-a-lane specials and single per game specials abound. The lanes are synthetic so that means the shot will hold true depending on the oil pattern. But something tells me that this house doesn't utilize a sport shot...ever.
Great fun for the family but if you're league vet looking for a house with serious money-leagues look elsewhere.
Like New Jersey... -

This bowling alley has a relaxed atmosphere, beer on tap, and reasonable prices. It's a fun place to go for a few hours with your friends or that special someone. My husband and I have been gong for many years, and we have many fond memories. They have a small arcade, which we sometimes use while waiting for our lanes or our buddies. It's no swanky joint, but it's a cheap option for a great evening.

speakers are way too loud when the animation on the screen plays. i like how you can set the bumpers on per specific bowler though. decent place to bowl.

Checked online for this exact location and "$1 mondays, and now thursdays!, games, etc." came up...we drove over on a Thursday, waited 20 minutes for a lane, only to be flat out refused by the clerk. No talk from a supervisor or compromise. We were just told, "Corporate puts that stuff on the site, but we dont honor it." Horrible!

I consider myself to be an above average bowler.... ;) I met my husband during a bowling league where I was not only his team captain, but beat his azz on a regular basis. So, when we moved to Menifee last August, it was just a matter of time before we needed to find our neighborhood 'Cosmic Bowling' center for some late night (what I used to call, ROCK N BOWLING) family fun. As usual, since Cosmic Bowling is 12 midnight - 2am, I would LOVE to see the parking lot lit much better for safety reasons. ANY place that has teens gather that late at night needs to have not only GREATLY lit parking lots, they really need lot security!!! BOTH of which they do not have. Anyway, having said that, once inside, league play is usually ending up when you arrive for Cosmic Bowling and the teenie boppers are giving their dates/friends their 'kisses goodnight' while you're wishing they would leave so the ADULTS could get to PLAYIN'!! Plenty of different size bowling balls for EVERY bowler. Lane scoring units are staggered so that you don't need to be UBER friendly with the people on the next lane which is nice. They do have security in the house and I do understand they cannot discriminate due to age, but I swear the security guards are at LEAST 70!! Now I'm no spring chicken, but I CAN TAKE THESE GUYS!! Also, they sit on their butts watching people bowl when they should be supervising the multitudes of 'KIDS' that all just so happen to be turning 21!! Yes, I say that sarcastically, because EVERY SINGLE TIME I'VE TAKEN MY FAMILY THERE FOR COSMIC BOWLING, WE'RE NEXT TO SOME STINKING DRUNK KIDS (Who to me are NOT 21...DO MORE THEN CHECK I.D.'S, SCAN THEM THROUGH A MACHINE!!!) and bowling like drunk idiots. Ball THROWING, practical sex acts on the lanes between KIDS and inappropriate language!! The staff is UBER nice & knowledgeable and will help you with whatever. The DJ will take requests (throw him a buck or two if you're requesting something special besides what's on his play list) and the lanes are fairly maintained. I would like to see better food served at the snack bar as well as pitchers of beer being served TO RESPONSIBLE ADULTS after the 11:30pm hour. I would also like to see the security guards get off their behinds and actually police the tools who are disrespecting the lanes, disrespecting other bowlers, usually families, and kick out the 'kids' that have OBVIOUSLY drank too much so that the rest of us can have a fun time without having to babysit drunk bowlers who may just take their revenge in the dimly lit parking lot!!!!
