North Hill Lanes

Brunswick lanes on West Tienken Road

Avon North Hill Lanes, at 150 W Tienken Road in Rochester Hills, has 32 Brunswick lanes with automatic scoring. The center says it serves surrounding communities from Auburn Hills and Troy to Lake Orion, Oxford, Sterling Heights and Romeo, and it offers open bowling and bumper bowling every day, plus glow bowling.

Leagues for adults, children and families form each fall, and the site has sign-up forms for leagues and parties, with fundraising and youth pages. Birthday packages include bowling and pizza.

The rules for reservations are strict and worth knowing. Every booking is prepaid, a group must reserve one lane for each five guests, no more than five bowlers share a lane, and prepaid reservations are not refunded. Rates and the current open-bowling schedule are given by phone or text by phone.
