Forest Lanes is now open for private reservations.

Ready to bowl?

RESERVE YOUR LANE NOW

 

Dear Forest Lanes team, friends, family and valued guests,

The health and well being of our loyal team and guests is and always will be our highest priority. While there have been no reported cases of COVID-19 at Forest Lanes, today, following the guidance of the Orange County Health Department, we have determined that we must temporarily suspend the operation of our bowling center until further notice.

We will closely monitor the circumstances and make further adjustments as necessary. While this is certainly disappointing news for us, our overriding concern is for those directly impacted by this potentially deadly disease, our community and the dedicated members of our team.

Is Governor Gavin Newsom doing a good job?

We know that our community depends on us to provide an escape during uncertain times and we feel that responsibility deeply. We are forever grateful for the amazing efforts made by our team during these past few weeks to ensure that we safely continued to deliver the joy of bowling to our guests as long as possible.

We are profoundly grateful for the loyalty and support you have shown us throughout the years, and especially now. Our hope is for everyone to stay safe, stay healthy and be kind during this time.

Please look out for one another, and we hope to see you back on the lanes very soon.

Best wishes,

Forest Lanes

    I miss it terribly and when you go from bowling 5 days out of 7 to zero it’s a lot of things but mostly heart breaking. Please let us come back soon.

      Hi Mary,

      We want you to bowl as well! As soon as the CDC mandate is lifted and we are allowed to reopen, we will update this page with the date, and be ready to welcome you all with open arms!

      Looking forward to that day as much as everybody else.

      See you soon!

      We miss you as well, Sue! All is well, and we are one day closer to reopening. When that is will be up to the CDC and when it lifts its mandate. You will be the first to know on this very page.

      See you soon!

      Hi Ed,

      We are ready to welcome all of our seniors back the minute our doors reopen! Patti may have communicated it to you guys, but she has multiple leagues with 20 teams full of senior bowlers who are ready to hit the lanes hard when the CDC lifts its mandate and we can open our doors to everybody again.

      Really, we can’t wait, and miss all of our bowlers and look forward to seeing everybody.

      Hope you’re staying safe, and we will see you on the lanes again soon!

      We’re still closed until further notice, unfortunately. But the outlook seems to be getting better. We hope to have an update in the next week or so.

      See you soon!

      LMAO!

      This is the actual Dave Sanders… Shelby and I are still ready to roll!!!!

      We’ve booked a room at South Point for Vegas’ opening day, but strategically placed it to miss Monday or Friday of the week so that we can enjoy Forest Lanes’ opening day for our leagues too, whatever week they may land on.

      You’re going to see a couple of the happiest people ever, once we can get back on the lanes. Rolling balls in our hallway just ain’t cutting it!!

      Can’t wait to see our Forest family again!

    I see your lane reservation is $69.50 for one lane and 1 hour 50 minute of bowling for up to 5 people. What if it’s just me wanting to shoot a series or so?

    I had a reservation for a birthday party back in March and paid the deposit. The weekend of the birthday party was when the shutdown began. I would like to reschedule the birthday party as soon as when available.

      Yes it is.

    So disappointed you’re closed down again. Both Tuesday and Thursday senior leagues were carefully following all the safety guidelines and really enjoying getting back to bowling. Just think this is overkill and overreaction by government.

      We agree with you, Ken. We’re hoping they let us reopen soon!
