“We held our Golf Tournament at Creekside (6/30/23) and from the moment we arrived Danny, Woody and staff made every effort to make sure we had everything necessary to put on the best event possible. The servers and support staff were the best! Honestly everything from the catered meal to the beautiful golf course was a 10+.”

“Attended our class reunion here, under a tent, on a very hot day. They had fans and tent flaps arranged so it was extremely pleasant inside. Wait personnel were friendly and efficient, and the heavy hor' doerves were fantastic. We all agreed this is a perfect venue for large gatherings!”

“We love visiting!! We stop at carousels often. This is the fastest carousel, it's a bit smaller too. My daughter loves the ring game but all the times she has rode they never have played the game. She is very sad about it. I feel the venue should have more seating options, tables. Also it would be great to have a snack bar. They do popcorn and cotton candy supposedly. We haven't seen them do it. The girl with dark hair that works in the store she is always nice.”

“We camped over night with water and electric hook-ups for $25. I see they have a gravel mound for fixing parking area, would be a great idea. Lots of water holes. Convenient for going to the Ham Radio Rumage sale function.”

“From the moment the phone was answered to the time we stepped out the door, I was very impressed with the level of customer service, friendliness and professionalism we were shown at Starlight Lanes. I inquired about reserving a lane because it was my husband's birthday the following day. Sabin answered the phone and told me they were having a tournament that Saturday but anytime after 3pm was available to reserve a lane. I asked if they needed any deposit. He said no, just my name and phone number is fine. He told me they have an arcade and a full kitchen and bar.
We arrived at the alley on time and were welcomed by Joe. He confirmed our reservation, got us set up with shoes and asked if we needed anything else. He showed us where our lane was and wished us a good time. Joe came by several times during the 2 games asking if we needed anything it if he could get anything for us from the restaurant or bar. My husband needed help with his bowling ball. Done! We did order some sodas and fries. They were cooked to perfection! Not greasy or overcooked at all.
The overall experience was fantastic. Even the other patrons were friendly and nice. It is clean and the equipment is well maintained. Everyone was friendly and respectful. No children running up and down the alley. Lots of families there. It is so refreshing to be able to enjoy yourself in a nice, wholesome environment. Thank you, Starlight Lanes. We will definitely be back.”
