Ro-Lin Lanes

I grew up in Maine and I grew up playing candle-​pin. I’ve played 10 pin, but to me that’s just about the laziest kind of bowling you can imagine. This was 10 pin. The places looks run down and feels it too. The shoes were in a disgusting state that made me glad I had on thick socks.
The equipment looks and feels old. The restrooms were not well maintained, meaning they needed repairs and painting badly.
We even tried the «mini golf» in back. No special features, no decorations, no nothing. The water elements along the course were off for the season, but they had pool tools posted around so you could retrieve wayward balls that jumped into the water.
And the prices are obscene for such poor equipment and space.
JUST DON’T BOTHER

This bowling alley is always clean and rarely has problems with fights. Although open bowling and their hours are sporadic, it’s worthy enough to grant me only a game a year (don’t like to play bowling all that much). Bathroom conditions (especially in the guys room) seems to be appropriate to the remainder of the outside of the building. Although not very glamorous, things starting to slide down-​hill there.
They do have a miniature golf course out front. However, I’ve only used this golf course once in it’s whole existence (not many people use this course anymore). Scoring is self-​scored by an automated system.

Definitely off the beaten track, this minigolf course is part of a bowling facility. The course is called «R-​Lin Greens,» and aside from the bowling, there is also an arcade and a snack bar.
The course itself is well constructed — tons of water traps. Par is 54 (I shot 55!) and it’s challenging. Lots of Plants/​weeds surround you in this fenced off course, but for $ 5 it’s a lot better than some other ones I’ve been to. They only open at 1pm on Saturday which I found a little strange, and the place was deserted aside from 3 small groups bowling indoors (it was CRAZY heat). The 12 hole (a volcano-​type) constantly challenged me, but on this one, I made par! wahoo!
If you’re looking to find this place, don’t use the address or GPS cause you won’t get there — just head over the Kingston Bridge and it’s honestly 1 minute north on Route 9G on the right hand side! If you’re in Kingston and looking to play, definitely worth paying the $ 1 toll to cross the bridge, but I wouldn’t drive hours to play on this course.
