Palm Springs Lanes

Old school bowling alley! Had a fun night! All of the staff was very friendly!!!

This place sucks. No food until 5 pm. Lanes are fine, but the sitting area for bowling lanes is tight. They had one person working and he was rude and lazy. I was not impressed at ALL.

Kind of a bust. The place is definitely needs an overhaul. When you walk in it smells like bowling shoe. Then you get the shoes and you know why. They’re so old and floppy that I had to go from a size 10 to a size 9. Same with the kids and my wife’s had a hole in hers.
They scoring system switching between bumpers on and off for kids and adults was key. There were black lights and effects later at night, but the music was terrible.
Probably the biggest downside was there was a real shortage of decent bowling balls. I read other reviews while there to see that the lanes were dry (not enough oil.) Makes sense. They’re obviously not reinvesting much if any of the profits to keep up with the times.

The lanes are alright we went on laser night so it was 15 $ a head the food is pricey but whoever made the chavelas (cheleda)made them bomb restrooms are disgusting very disgusting

The lanes themselves are in good shape. The building itself has probably seen better days. This place could use some maintenance.

Upbeat employees, good bowling, and patrons. My husband and I usually bowl about four to five games, so for $ 10 unlimited bowling, not a bad deal. I have my own bowling ball, so I can’t really comment about the quality of their balls, but my husband usually has to pick out two different balls to use due to his hand/​finger ratio. This is usually the case at any bowling alley we go to, but he did bowl his best game here!
I do wish they served pitchers of beer here. Otherwise it would be 5 stars.

Wow, this place really sucks. I love old school kitch and charm. I even like rustic places which boarder on outdated and in need of some care but this place was just DOWNTRODDEN and SKETCH. Think of those methy chicks that you see in run down parking lots of 7−11s. This is the bowling alley equivilant of that chick. I felt like I needed a shower just by walking through the doors (I left promptly).

When the guy working the desk tells two of you that it’s $ 10 to bowl — know that he means $ 10 per person. We love to go bowling and have been doing so since my daughter was little. Today’s experience with the slimy deception on price, has soured us for awhile. Teach your employees to be clear when quoting prices.

I LOVE Palm Springs Lanes! Allen and Chris who work the front desk are so nice and helpful! My family and I come here to bow every weekday with the Kids Bowl Free summer program. Both gentleman move the line quickly and are happy to help novice and expert alike get their best bowling experience. While the lanes may be a little older, they are vigilant in addressing both short and long service issues to keep your access to quality lanes and a great time! The in alley food service is good with typical bowling alley fate available for your consumption. The gentleman working the food service counter are equally personable and helpful. Finally, don’t miss out on their great unlimited bowling deal. Weekdays from 12 – 5 you can bowl unlimited games with shoes for $ 10 per person and the same deal is available on weekends from 12 – 5 for $ 12. Come on down, check them out, and bow a game or 3. You won’t be sorry!

Customer Service questionable. The Gentleman started out polite, but turned rude. Tell parents they can’t bowl with their kids for free before hand. Don’t walk over and say you can’t play and delete from screen. I’m sure I could have paid for myself, but was never asked!

Ursula, and the team treated us awesome. We had a blast and this is a must see place. Ursula is awesome ask for her.

Went bowling with the family and we missed our pizza order. The employee working there said no problem and got us a new one fast! Sorry again for missing the Pizza. Every employee was nice and very professional. 5 STARS!

We had my Daughters 12^th Birthday Party on March 18, and I must say we did have a good time, everyone was very friendly, we rented out two lanes for 2 hours, all the kids had fun, we ordered food from the snack bar and it was greasy snack bar food but it was good.
So why the reason for only 3 stars!!!
Well… I had my friend which is a professional Photographer come in and take pictures of the kids while they were bowling. The employee gave him a hard time about taking the pictures, He said that the people doing the league play were complaining! My friend did not want to cause a scene so he put his equipment away, but i just felt it was rude and uncalled for.
Other than that everything was great if it would not have been for that incident i would have gave it 5 stars

28 lanes pretty dry which is not bad since you can maneuver your ball better.
Today was $ 10/​person all you can bowl which was a cool deal. Bowling alley has all the amenities any bowling alley needs including food stand and bar with dart boards!
It’s good clean fun at the desert, with a twist ;)
Staff are nice no issues.

Great value for family fun. Inexpensive way to spend some quality time with kids. We had younger children with us and the staff were very accommodating and helpful. The bowling alley could use some TLC but the lanes are in great condition. Make sure to stop by the snack bar … if the fries were any indication of the rest of the menu, you won’t be disappointed.

Lane kept getting stuck the whole time w we’re playing. We had two lanes. Just because you’re the only bowling alley in the area doesn’t mean you have to suck.

We were in town for a wedding and this was one of our events for the day. It was a good time and the price was right. They brought us buckets of beer (which everyone loved, I dont like beer, but I was happy to see everyone else happy).
The lanes are very clean. There are plenty of bowling alleys that are dark and smokey and just old. This one just felt classic. Workers were friendly.
The arcade games were lame-​O though. I love a good bowling alley that has some air hockey and some legit arcade games and this one fell short.
But the bowling was great and they have some fantastic animations that come on the screen after your turn.

I am a beginner bowler, and my buddy is quite excellent.
We moved to the area 10 years ago.
We were excited to find Palm Springs Lanes so close to our home. (we live in Cathedral City) Unfortunately, we tried Palm Springs Lanes once and have never been back. We each bowled 2 games and rented shoes, and it was 25.00.
Too Bad. We would have loved to have made the bowling a weekly event for us,
but it was way too expensive for our taste. I see current reviewers quoting different prices now, but we were burned so badly that first visit that we never returned.
Thank you kindly, Paul

Their website advertises open bowling on weekdays but doesn’t say they have leagues all through Thursday. I went in on Monday and staff was rude about the whole thing! They wouldn’t admit their mistake or even apologize!!! Just go to Morongo or Fantasy lanes! At least their staff members are held to standards.

This is a fun place to go, especially when the mercury in the thermometer outside creeps past 100. $ 5 for a game seems a little spendy, but it’s okay.
If you go, you absolutely must order the pizza from the snack bar — no lie, it is one of the best pizzas in the entire Coachella Valley.
