Quick dirty job by Pro Shop without asking what customer wants - I got ball drilled by the pro shop to bowl better in my league. They were TOO fast and never asked questions about what I want, if I want ball to hook, what my bowling speed is, etc. They took some measurements in 2 mins and did not take ANY time to listen. They did not ask a single question and said you will be fine.. Paul I heard is experienced and seems to be a good guy but what is the use if they don't drill balls and decide layout based on the customer's needs? The Result is that - My reactive ball does not hook AT ALL. They did not ask if I want ball to hook because then the drilling style of finger tips would have helped instead of conventional. I have spent all this money on a ball and drilling but now stuck with a misfit drilled ball and get absolutely no hook. When I went to collect the ball - The person just packed it without even showing me the ball and billed me. He did not even ask me to try the ball and handed be the ball in the box. Also they don't work with you and see you throw the ball. They just drill it and hand it to you. I am very unhappy with the pro shop. They have many years of experience but they don't use it to serve customers. The thing with bowling balls is that - if once they drill it without asking what you want out of your ball, and choose layout and drilling without knowing your bowling style and speed, its a waste of ball. I am using an alley ball now because they drilling is so messed up that my average is better with the plastic alley ball. I feel so bad looking at the guys hook same bowling ball...

Randy and Jeff are co-owners and brothers of Wickliffe Lanes, a local institution for generations now. My husband bowled there in a league when he was 12 over 24 years ago and now we bring our 1 year old to experience the simple things in life. They offer more than just bowling with one of the largest and nicest pool halls within 30 miles and a snack bar that serves up THEE BEST wings I've ever had! If that wasn't enough Wickliffe lanes recently had a face lift. Randy and Jeff spent many hundreds of thousands of dollars fully modernizing the facility. From the main entrance, to the seating areas, to the bar, to the game room, and even the locker rooms - everything received a good once over and many upgrades. Wickliffe lanes hosts up to 50 different bowling leagues throughout the week. They can even host special events like large family outings, corporate parties and even birthday parties. Randy and Jeff will accommodate most any request if they have the lanes available. We love these guys almost as much as we love Wickliffe Lanes. They are a huge part of our lives but not just ours also the 1000's of other families they've introduced to wholesome family entertainment and the community at large. We are set to have two birthday parties there this year, one in just a...

EDIT: We came back to bowl after taking a few months break and it was back to the original Wickliffe Lanes that we love so much!!! So glad that things have gotten back to normal and we can once again enjoy bowling at our favorite spot! ORIGINAL: Have been going here for many of years every few Saturdays and have always had a great time. Owners are very nice people however, lately they have put really rude people next to us. This time they put a family with young children that very unruly! I was hit in the leg with the ramp that was put there for a toddler. I don't mind that kids are bowling next to me but keep your kids in check! Very crowded last night and unfortunately the other bowlers rudeness made our enjoyment fizzle. It's a great place to bowl with the family and really love going there but maybe it's time to try another place for a change. Thank you to the owners Randy and Jeff for always making us...
