This place is awesome.  Not much in the way of competitive bowling but if we are just talking "nice" this takes the cake.

Fireside lanes in Sacramento(Citrus Heights) CA. Every time i've been they have never had any short oiled pattern. It's always been a medium/heavy oiled pattern with good backends which I like, and so does my Smokin Inferno!

Creekside Lanes in Winston-Salem, NC.  Home of  our very own Magic Carpet and host to the Annual BR Gathering.  It is kept up very well, awesome staff who treats everyone as family.

Creekside is very good to people. I've not bowled league there so I can't speak to that but I'd be shocked if it was anything other than top-notch.

Smyrna Bowling Center in Smyrna, Tenn., is the best "big" house I've ever bowled league in, thanks to the ownership.

Bama Lanes in Prattville, Ala., is the best for small houses. In addition to everything else they do during the year for league bowlers, they have a free-food, free-beer "league bowler appreciation party" every year in their bar/restaurant as well as other events during the year. Lots of tournaments, and they support their youth programs big-time.

9 during off hours, 11 fri/sat nights.  6 for shoe rental, prolly not terrible prices if you want that type of atmosphere and want to bowl too.

The heck with posh centers, I'll take Beverly Lanes in Arlington Heights, Ill., any time. Place is owned by Les and Lyle Zikes, they take care of everything well, they'll put out different patterns for you, and the game prices (especially if you bowl league there) are hard to beat.
