University Lanes

Denton's #1 choice for bowling on University Drive, between Texas Woman's University and Nottingham Ln; when I was in the TWU Demonstration School in the late 1960s, I bowled in a proper league that practiced during the week.All these years later, I am blessed to have such great memories of competing with kids who were my age and ability level, which was optimal for an excitable but promising student who ended up in Christchurch, New Zealand teaching organizational behavior and management to the fine students who studied the professional skills development of its young people.My time in Godzone was cut short by a deadly disease Meningoccemia that I contracted during the data collection phase of my research at CEDENCO Foods, LLC, which is located in Gisbourne, on the North Island. A keen teaching assistant named Steve McIntosh who helped me write case studies on New Zealand businesses, such as MacPac Outdoors Company, in Christchurch aided me by getting true nuts and bolts live access to a complete food processing system in the center area for agricultural products.Steve lives with his wife and two children in the Auckland, the City of Sails, and site for competitive America's Cup Sailing Syndicate, "Black Magic."Cheers,Mark C.

Okay, I have read the reviews and have not come across the owner and I started bowling there every week. The alley is old but the lanes are pretty good. I absolutely hate the seating but I can deal with it to not have people all over me while I practice. I try to go in afternoon since I am trying to re-learn to bowl since my torn ACL and broken right hand and this place is perfect for what I need. The staff...well I have had mixed experiences but no one has been rude or overly friendly. My guess is they are overworked but over all I really like this place for what I need it for. I have my own shoes and balls so have no advice there and the price is fair based on cost of operating. I would say the hours are listed to open at 3pm on some days and this is wrong, its 4pm but other than that, I like it here.

Have been here twice in the last couple months with some friends for Cosmic Bowling. Literally perfect for the price. It's $15 all you can bowl from 10 pm-1 am. Don't be expecting Brunswick, it's more run down but they did some remodeling a couple years ago. But honestly for the price you can't really beat it. They have a bar, but it isn't a full bar. I have been on a Friday and Saturday and it was never overcrowded but almost the whole time the lanes were full. Music is loud, they have the black lights on. It's honestly just a good way to hang out with friends for a decent price. I will definitely keep coming back more often, especially since I work the night shift.

I've been to University Lanes a handful of times, but tonight I had the best service from the staff! Giovanni & Briee were very helpful, polite, and had great attitudes! Made the experience so much better with their help! So if you go when they're working, you'll have a very enjoyable time! Thank you again Giovanni & Briee! :)

Don't go here. Their website says 4.50 per game not per person plus 4.25 for shoes. There were three of us and it was 57.00 to bowl. We also got three small drinks for 11.00 total. Oh yeah and if you want a refill for a soda you have to pay the same price again. I paid like 70.00 for everything for three hours of bowling.

Incredibly rude staff. Cheats, thieves. Wanted to play two games with the family, front desk guy Updike us to "all you can bowl till 11 pm" machines turned off 15 minutes early and when we went to ask about it they said they didn't care and we should not be worrying about the 15 minutes. Would not give money back and made fun of my kids. $5 for 4 cheese sticks that were worst I've ever had. Rude food lady gave kids a hard time ordering. Lane equipment old and broken. Avoid this place at all costs. Cannot believe they are still in business. Drive a little farther so your night is not ruined

Unless you're desperate don't go here. No idea why an old place like this thinks they can charge similar prices as Main Event. $4.50 per game per person plus $4.25 per person for shoe rentals. Either going off their per person price or their hourly packages, they are only slightly cheaper than places like Main Event. 5 of us shared one lane and bowled for about 2 hours and paid $92. If you have just a few extra bucks then use it, drive 15 extra minutes, and go to a clean, well taken care of place like Main Event!They put us on a lane with a keypad that didn't work whatsoever. You clicked one button and it bounced all over the place. To type in our names, to fix the scores it jacked up, and any time we needed to do anything on the pad we had to walk up to the front counter to have them do it. Why they didn't just switch our lane I'm not sure since for a while we were one of the only two families there. The lane messed up and reset a couple times every game we played. Between the keypad and the lane not working, it was just a big headache. They don't mind charging you full price though!The toilet in the men's room didn't flush. Paid $14 for a pepperoni pizza, but it was more like a cheese pizza with a couple pieces of pepperoni on it. The beer was a decent price though. That's about the only thing I will give this place.

We had a fun experience, however there were significant issues that need to be addressed.Their website lists a package for 1 hour of bowling for just a little over $30. After calling, they said "Our website's old, the price is actually $40+". We asked if they could honor the website prices, to which they said no.Some of the bowling lanes are glitchy. They wouldn't detect pins, they would reset randomly, give free strikes at random, etc.Most the bowling balls were old and scratched up, and it was impossible to tell what the bowling ball sizes were.They got our food orders wrong, and had strange issues with money transactions.The bathrooms were terribly maintainedI wouldn't recommend this place for bowling until they fix at least the pricing issue. Andy B's in Denton is cheaper, nicer, and more professional. Bowlero nearby may be a bit pricier, but is more professional than University Lanes. There are also options in Lewisville, which isn't a far drive.

Bait and switch! The prices on the website, supposedly updated ~ a month ago are "outdated". We wanted to go bowling with my son, so chose thhis location as it was close to UNT and ended up paying the higher price per person per game and for the shoe rental, even though it was a Monday. The glitchy lane and the resetting didn't help. The balls are in really bad shape...on most its hard to tell the number. The only reason I am leaving three starts is because we ended up having a good time as a family and didn't have to drive too far. The staff person there was also helpful and came by quickly to reset, so theres that for a positive.

I looked on the website & they advertised great prices. When I arrived I noticed the sign on the door says the website prices are incorrect. I asked the young man at the front desk & he said the website is wrong. I drove all the way up to Denton with my family so I asked if I could have an even number lane because my husband is left handed. I was informed they didn't have any lanes available even though I saw several open. The young man was rude & the bowling alley is filthy. I decided to take my hard earned money to a place that knows how to update their website, hire polite people and clean. Don't waste your time or gas on this outdated dirty place!
