- Fort Moore Bowling & Entertainment Center

The Fort Moore Bowling & Entertainment Center (BEC) has 12 bowling lanes, an indoor playground with a rock climbing wall, ball shooters, toddler area, party rooms and much more! The playground is reserved for guests 13 and younger (socks are required; we sell them on site.) Ask about parties, group discounts, annual passes and the BEC punch card. The more you play, the less you pay!
The bowling lanes at the Bowling & Entertainment Center received a facelift! We closed down the bowling lanes for the past weeks to give you the best bowling experience possible. All bowling lanes were newly installed and turned the BEC into a top-notch bowling facility. And we celebrate the reopening and invite you to join us!

- Mad Games
-
Now available at the Mall Bowling Center and the Bowling & Entertainment Center!
Many young bowlers find the 10-frame format too long and the scoring calculation rules too difficult and too hard to understand. The traditional grid isn’t appealing or exciting. While they may try a game or two, a lot won’t come back and that’s a tragedy – because bowling is and can be so much Fun!
We are happy to announce to offer Mad Games at the Mall Bowling and the Bowling & Entertainment Center!
What exactly is Mad Games? Mad Games are shorter and easier to understand bowling games for our younger bowlers, ages 12 and under. When you bowl a Mad Game, the scoring system is simpler, and the bowling pace is way faster. We offer four different Mad Games to choose from:
- Monster Factory
- Character Factory
- Bowlin’ Hood
- Battle on the Lanes
Mad Games themes are Videogame-like, 2D and 3D visuals – of course that’s way more interesting and more fun as regular bowling! And the best – at the end, bowlers can take home a picture of themselves bowling – which the Mad Game system provides!
Try something new and visit the Mall Bowling and the Bowling & Entertainment Center for our new Mad Games – fun, excitement and an unforgettable experience promised! Mad Games is open to everyone, but perfect for our younger bowlers, children 12 and under.
Price is $15 per lane/per hour (shoe rental is not included), try each game to see what you like the most! For more information or any questions, contact the Mall Bowling Center at +1 (706) 545-4164 or the Bowling & Entertainment Center at +1 (706) 545-4272.

You’ve rented the shoes, chosen a ball, and have your eye on that perfect spot in the lane. You’re ready to bowl! But wait - bowling is harder than it looks! What is the right bowling ball for you? How do you stand before you swing and release the ball? Do you always wanted to learn how to bowl but never found an instructor who could teach you?
We can help! Join us at the Mall Bowling Center for our new 12-week Bowling League “Learn to Bowl”! The new “Learn to Bowl” League starts January 15 and ends April 2, 2025. We meet every Wednesday, starting at 7 p.m.; attendees will bowl 3 games for 12 weeks, participation fee is $10 (per session, shoe rental is not included), and all participants will be given instructions and learn how to bowl like the professionals!
Those beginner sessions will be a “handicap mixed doubles” format and any combination of adult/child/male/female is welcome. If participants don’t have a partner, the bowling center will assist in pairing bowlers together. Make-up session available, contact the staff at the Mall Bowling Center in case you missed one week! (All make-up sessions must be completed before April 2 to be eligible for a door prize).
But that’s not all! All participants will receive some great prizes after completing the 12 weeks “Learn to Bowl” League!
Door prizes: bowling related prizes and a drawing for the overall grand prize; one beginner’s bowler will receive a new Storm Mix Bowling Ball of their choice. Ball will be custom fitted to the bowler.
Registration is required, sign-up in person at the Mall Bowling Center (MB) or just call your friendly MB staff at +1 (706) 545-4164!
Each session consists of 30 bowlers (maximum attendance) to ensure all beginning bowlers can understand the instructors. Since space is limited, we encourage you to sign up NOW!
This league is open to everyone, kids, adults, friends, neighbors, everyone who has access to the installation!
Get ready to learn to bowl, below you’ll find the 10 most important bowling tips for beginners:
- Don’t aim for the pins! Seriously, resist the urge! The best way to get a strike is by aiming for the pocket—the space between the 1 and 3 pins, or the space between the 2 and 4 pins.
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart! Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and take a few steps forward so that only your toes are touching the line.
- Swing the ball by keeping your arm straight! Bending your elbow will decrease both accuracy and power.
- Release the ball by curling your fingers so that the ball spins as it rolls down the lane. This will give you better control and accuracy.
- Timing is everything! As the ball hits the pins, watch carefully so you can time your next throw accordingly. If you act too quickly, you may end up standing in front of fallen pins (which isn’t fun for anyone). If you wait too long, other bowlers may get frustrated because they must wait for you to clear the lane before they can bowl their turn.
- Always keep your eye on the ball! This may seem like a no-brainer but it’s important, nonetheless. Once you release the ball, resist the urge to watch it roll down the lane—you need to be able to see where it’s going so you can adjust on your next turn if necessary.
- Make sure your hand position is correct!
- Avoid “cutting” when walking up to bowl! If possible, walk in a straight line so that other bowlers can clearly see what you’re doing and avoid running into you by accident!
- Pay attention!
- MOST IMPORTANTLY - Have fun! At the end of the day, bowling is meant to be enjoyable, so don’t take yourself too seriously. Enjoy yourself, relax, and let those strikes come naturally.
