Whitewood Lanes

I just wish the kind of people who came here would watch their kids. Every time I come, there are kids no where near the lanes they belong to, and it’s just rude.

Sad little bowling alley. This place use to be great but now it is just old and outdated. They do have pretty good bowling specials. $ 1 per game on most weekdays, but if you are going there with your own ball DONT DO IT!!! Their ball returns will scratch up and chip your ball. I went there with a new ball and before the first game was over it had an inch scratch on it.

Even though I spent countless hours at this place in the summer of ’07, I can only give it a three star rating. Cause it’s really just a crappy old bowling alley, comparatively. But man I had some good times here.
This place is super nostalgic for me because my husband joined a bowling league there in what would turn out to be my last summer living in Lubbock. At first I didn’t even want to go with him when he went to play, but as the summer wore on I found myself and some great people all coming down every week to watch these fools throw bowling balls, drink beer. and fight with the equipment when it would jack up their game.
I always ordered some crappy food from the crappy concession stand, since that’s just what you do at places like this. It was usually stuffy inside, unless you were lucky enough to be assigned to the lanes near the crappy old fan. And then we would sometimes drink crappy beer in the smoky and stinky bar after the games were over. You know, in one of those bar that is so offensive even a smoker can barely stand it. Gotta love it.
Ah… good times.
Don’t expect much from this place, but it’s cheap, and they have a bowling league going on almost all the time. It is something fun to do, and different than the same old same old the LBK has to offer.
