Some bowling alleys give off a feeling of big faceless business: they try to pack as much as possible into their center and there’s not much of a personal feel. At Dunbar Bowling Center in Dunbar, West Virginia, though, it is quite the opposite.
Dunbar Bowling Center has been family owned and operated for over 25 years, since 1982. The 12 lane bowling center doesn’t go for sheer size or flashiness, but rather a cozy, friendly feeling. And this isn’t to say they aren’t up to the task on technology.
There are also some great offers for bowlers looking to seriously improve their game. Dunbar offers a “Practice Anytime Club” where bowlers who are enrolled in a bowling league get unlimited practice bowling! This club is paid for on a month-by-month basis, and the prices appear quite good. It’s $12/month if you are signed up for one league at Dunbar, and $10 if you are bowling in two leagues. For unlimited practice, that sounds like a great deal! You can even buy a 6 month card and pay for only 5, getting the sixth month for free.
Dunbar Bowling Center also offers a variety of tournaments, most recently a “King and Queen of the Hill” handicap format with cash prizes.
The pro shop on site is also top notch. As explained on the alley’s website, the staff consists of “Master Professional Instructor and Senior Tour player Jim Sturm along with Class A Teaching Professionals Bill Dougherty and Andrew Derrick and pro shop specialist/instructor Brad Brannon,” who combine for 74 years of teaching and ball fitting experience.
In addition to experts who can fit you with the right bowling merchandise, Dunbar also offers expert teaching. They have a Youth Director who organizes a youth bowling league and a High School bowling club. The club only costs students $3/week for 20 weeks.
All in all, Dunbar Bowling Center offers a lot of great bowling, and those who are looking to improve their game will be especially well-served.
