text: If you're going here for some fun, then by all means have at it!  If you're considering this place for a league night, run the other way as fast as you can and NEVER look back. \n\nI have been on a league at this center now twice, first time was just a fun BS league and this time is a more serious, prize league.  The people that I have bowled with on both leagues have been lots of fun and very down to earth friendly, and the staff, well for the most part are wonderful.  However, there is this bartender that works who is a complete you know what and I'd rather literally walk out of the bowling center and go get another drink before having to deal with this guy; he is not friendly at all, I wish I knew his name, all I know is he works Thursdays.  \n\nAnyhow, the lanes themselves- let's talk about this tragedy that is Santa Fe bowling.  On my first league  I had to switch lanes I believe a total of 9 times in a 10 week league, and three times were in one day!  It was absolutely horrible, pins kept getting knocked down by the machine, the machine broke, the ball return didn't work, the computer system froze up- anything you can possibly think of went wrong.  One time myself and three other bowlers literally almost wiped out on the lane because of grease on the lane (one they moved us to after the other two didn't work) and I suppose they forgot to check it to make sure everything was fine.  This was on the fun league, but had it been on the prize league and I threw my ball in the gutter because of that, I would have been furious.  I'm not some psycho angry going to get you if you mess my game boup bowler either (I shudder to think how they'd react) I'm just a normal guy trying to do my best and win that prize fund!  \n\nAnyhow, lets flash forward to the new prize league I'm on.  The very first week, on the very first persons turn a pin knocks down.  We reset, it knocks down again, and again, and again, and again. Literally almost 6 or 7 times, finally we call them, they take almost 10 minutes to fix it.  She bowls, then my turn and guess what, it falls again, and again, and again! The people next to us were having the same problem, it repeated for them almost 25 minutes.  Finally the nightmare of an evening had ended.  Now I'm looking at going for my second week of bowling when I get a call from a teammate, \"Oh hey the lanes are broken, they said that we would need to reschedule for another night to bowl\"  So now, they have screwed up my whole schedule because I have fit things around Thursday night bowling;  I was livid and so were my teammates.  We start playing and guess what happens! You got it, pins are falling over, again and again and again; another twenty minutes there.  Just yesterday we had to make up a day for this Thursday because a couple of us will be out of town, so we start and about 15 minutes in right around the 5th frame first game, guess whaaaaaaaat! Oh yes, again!  I have another 29 weeks of this crap and its REALLY getting old.  After this league is over I will never come back to this place to bowl again until they fix their lanes.  I don't pay 15 bucks a week plus outrageous alcohol prices to deal with this, people have lives and work and we don't have 4+hours for what shouldn't be longer than a 3 hour set.  \n\nSanta Fe check yo stuff!
