Thread: how much do you pay for practice?

  1. #1

    Default how much do you pay for practice?

    I don't remember if AMF still does it, but we get 3 free games a week. Then it's $2.39 a game. There is one day a week when bowling is unlimited for $11.

    At a privately owned house, it's $1.50 a game for non league bowlers early weekends and $0.50 for league bowlers.

    At a house I used to bowl at, Shadow bowling (bowling without pins) was a buck an hour. The best practice sessions came without pins lol....

    Anyway, I was just wondering what prices are like across the country...

    NorCal here and practice for league bowlers is $1.50 a game and about $3.50 a game for non-league bowlers.

    I once joined a short bowling league (12-14 weeks) and we got 3 free games a week out of it, but maybe that was just a one time deal because I've never seen it happen again.

    I bowl at a Brunswick Zone here in NJ and I get 2 free games per league with a max of 4 games and then it's $3.99/game for league but I usually come after 9PM on weekdays to take advantage of the specials, either $2/game or $8 for 2 hours depending on the day.

    There are few places here in Vegas where you can bowl for $1/game during the day, and most of them between midnight & 8am.

    I have also been very fortunate to have made some friends here, and there are times I can bowl for nothing, but I never bowl more than 3 practice games.

    LI, NY- AMF league bowlers get 2 free games per week with a 4 game max. One house is $2.35/GM & the other I use is $2.90/GM league member rates. Non league rate is about $4.50/GM weekdays and over $5 on weekends. 2 private houses I bowl at have various specials like $2/GM on fresh oil Sunday mornings.

    The most I pay is 2.00 a game, they also have specials, 7.00 for unlimited bowling, or 5.00 cover and all games are .25.
    I am usually able to bowl on fresh oil.
