Old Orchard Lanes & Links — Restaurant in Savoy

UPDATE 20JUN2022: Wow! So under new management maybe? Whatever happened, the course has been completely redone with fresh green and all of the brick border was glued back down! It was as clean as could be with an absolutely playable surface. Changes were made to make it more COVID friendly. The counter help was welcoming and enjoyable to interact with. With these changes I'll definitely play more often. 1 suggestion is to develop some shade areas between holes for when you have to wait for the players in front of you.

This review is strictly for the dated and unclean links portion of "Lanes & Links". If I was an employee there I'd figure I'd have really 2 jobs to do- Attend patrons & clean. Looking at the course and equipment, I can safely say 50% of the work is getting done. In addition, the outdoor course is in disrepair and isn't regularly cleaned. Their course prices aren't posted (although beer prices are) so they can charge you anything they want to play. This could be a decent place to play if the equipment, course, and services were maintained. On a personal note I have a hard time taking my kids into a "family" establishment where it seems their priorities are more on beer and gambling sales which is why my business there is often limited to the much higher rated Lanes/restaurant portion of the business. Great pizza and lanes are the...

Great pizza! What happened? Pizza is still great but the service was awful! The gal that was serving our group did everything she could to ruin our evening! We got there at 5. Not busy yet. She took our drink order, then brought a drink or two at a time. We kept waiting for her to take our orders. We walked over to her a couple times and asked her to take our order....while she took the orders of three tables that arrived way after we did! After finally taking our orders, we waited. Not once did she offer to refill our drinks. We had to go to the bar to get a refill. Shrimp arrived. Our friend finished that while we continued to wait for our pizzas. One or two would arrive. The last two personal pizzas arrived at 7:15! (We arrived at 5 pm) The other tables that arrived after us ate and left! Then we had to wave her down so we could pay our checks! Needless to say very small tips, hoping she would get the message! If we didnt love their pizza, we would...

I've been a few times now, and I'm really enjoying this facility. The town where I grew up had a fantastic bowling alley, which I always compare places to, but this one definitely gives them a run for their money. I consider myself an amateur bowler, and my goal is to score at least 100 every game. I love their system where you can change themes and add goofy pictures. The food I've tried hasn't been bad either. I definitely recommend their fried mushrooms and mozzarella sticks. The pizza, however, isn’t really for me. My only complaints are that it can be hard for me to find a good ball (I need large finger holes, and the maximum weight I can lift is 12 pounds), and sometimes they place large groups next to us even if other lanes are open. I normally try to go during the week when it's less busy so that doesn't happen, as I like having some room to breathe, but I have left after just one game instead of 2-3 because of...
