BOWLING FOR HOSPITALITY
BOWLING EQUIPMENT THAT UPGRADES YOUR EXPERIENCE
Hotels and resorts need amenities that earn their space. Bowling gives guests something social to do throughout the day, during group events, and in the evening without leaving the property.
Funk supplies bowling equipment for hotel recreation areas, resort entertainment spaces, lounges, game rooms, and dedicated bowling areas. Systems can be planned for new construction or added to an existing property.
Compact duckpin bowling is a popular option when space is limited. Full tenpin installations are also available for larger recreation areas and resort entertainment spaces.
Every project is planned around the venue, including lane dimensions, pinsetter equipment, ball returns, scoring, LED lighting, seating, and surrounding finishes.
BUILT FOR COMMERCIAL HOSPITALITY
WHY HOTELS AND RESORTS CHOOSE FUNK

BOWLING SOLUTIONS FOR BARS & RESTAURANTS
Bowling fits naturally into venues where guests already come to eat, drink, and spend time together.
Restaurants, breweries, bars, and social venues can add bowling without changing the entire concept of the business. Guests can bowl before dinner, play while having drinks, or move between bowling and other games during a longer visit.
Duckpin bowling for bars and restaurants is often a strong fit because it requires less room than a full tenpin installation and is easy for casual guests to pick up.

BOWLING EQUIPMENT FAQs FOR HOSPITALITY VENUES
Common Questions
WHAT IS THE BEST BOWLING EQUIPMENT FOR HOTELS?
The right setup depends on available space, guest demographics, and how the property plans to use the attraction. Compact duckpin bowling is a strong option for many hotels because it requires less room and is easy for casual guests to play. Full tenpin systems are also available for larger recreation areas and resorts.
HOW MUCH SPACE IS NEEDED FOR A HOTEL BOWLING AREA?
Space requirements depend on lane type and configuration. Funk can design compact duckpin layouts as well as full-length tenpin bowling, allowing the installation to be planned around a wide range of hotel recreation areas.
CAN BOWLING BE ADDED TO AN EXISTING HOTEL OR RESORT?
Yes. Funk works on both new construction and renovation projects. Existing spaces can be evaluated to determine which lane configuration and equipment package will fit.
DOES FUNK OFFER BOWLING EQUIPMENT FOR RESORT ENTERTAINMENT AREAS?
Yes. Funk supplies bowling equipment for resorts, including recreation areas, entertainment centers, lounges, and dedicated bowling spaces.
CAN BOWLING BE INSTALLED IN A BAR OR RESTAURANT?
Yes. Duckpin bowling is especially well suited to bars and restaurants because it can fit into a smaller footprint and works well for casual group play.
CAN THE LANES INCLUDE INTERACTIVE BOWLING OR PROJECTION?
Yes. Funk installations can include Nexus scoring, interactive game modes, and on-lane projection depending on the goals of the venue.
DOES FUNK MANUFACTURE THE EQUIPMENT DIRECTLY?
Yes. Funk manufactures its bowling systems in-house, which allows more flexibility with dimensions, equipment configuration, and project-specific requirements.
HOW MUCH MAINTENANCE DO STRING PINSETTERS REQUIRE?
Funk string pinsetters use fewer moving components than traditional free-fall systems and are designed to reduce routine maintenance demands for operators.
HOW MUCH DOES BOWLING EQUIPMENT FOR A HOTEL COST?
Cost depends on the number of lanes, bowling format, available space, scoring and projection options, finishes, and site conditions. Funk prices each hospitality project around the actual installation rather than using a one-size-fits-all package.
DO YOU WORK WITH HOTEL ARCHITECTS AND DEVELOPERS?
Yes. Funk regularly coordinates with architects, developers, contractors, and hospitality design teams during both planning and installation.
