Comparing the three Yishun centres
Orchid Bowl at Orchid Country Club is the big one, with 36 lanes and a stated public welcome every day; its public game rate starts at S$5. SuperBowl Khatib, in the HomeTeamNS clubhouse, opens at 11am on weekdays and charges S$5.50. Sonic Bowl in SAFRA Yishun is the dearest of the three at S$6 off-peak, but runs Cosmic Night on Saturdays.
All three keep weekend lanes open until 1am, so the choice comes down to lane count, card discounts and whether you want the Cosmic lights.
The Woodlands training lanes
The Singapore Sports School's 12 lanes in Woodlands mix three surfaces for training its Bowling Academy athletes. There is no walk-in play; groups can only rent them by emailing the school three months ahead.
