A game of bowling in Singapore costs anywhere from $3.00 to $20.38, and almost none of that gap is about the lanes. It is about who runs the alley and what time you walk in. The cheapest walk-in game on the island is $3.80 at Westwood Bowl in Bukit Batok, which is less than SuperBowl charges its own members, and SuperBowl's senior rate of $3.00 between noon and 4pm undercuts even its student rate. At the other end, K Bowling Club at 313 Orchard advertises $17 a game and charges $20.38 once its 10% service charge and GST land. We put seven bookable alleys side by side using the rate cards their own websites publish, including the four Sonic Bowl outlets that quietly price the same game four different ways, and we checked every figure on 5 September 2026. One thing we found that no other roundup has: Orchid Bowl at E!Hub in Downtown East has closed, and its ACRA registration has ceased.
Same ball, same ten pins, and a five-fold price gap depending on which door you walk through.
> Quick view: cheapest walk-in game is Westwood Bowl at $3.80; most alleys run $5.50-$7.00; the catch nobody prints: K Bowling's "$17" is $20.38 after service charge and GST.
THE CHEAPEST WALK-IN GAME IN SINGAPORE, AND IT IS NOT CLOSE. The Civil Service Club's Bukit Batok alley is open to the public and charges the general public $3.80 PER GAME off-peak and $4.60 PEAK. To put that in context, $3.80 is less than SuperBowl charges its own SAFRA and HomeTeamNS members ($4.30) and 31% below SuperBowl's public rate of $5.50. Civil Service Club members pay $3.00 and $3.80, public officers $3.40 and $4.20. OFF-PEAK IS GENEROUS HERE: Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm, with peak covering weekday evenings from 6pm plus the whole of Saturday, Sunday and public holidays. THE ONE STRUCTURAL THING TO KNOW: Westwood sells BY THE GAME ONLY. There is no hourly lane rate on its published card, which is the exact opposite of its own sister alley at Tessensohn, so a big group planning a long session cannot cap its bill by renting the lane. Twenty-four lanes with Brunswick Vector Plus HD scoring, daily lane maintenance, a Specto ball-tracking system and a Bowling is Science pro shop on site. IT ALSO KEEPS THE LATEST HOURS OF ANY ALLEY IN THIS GUIDE: Monday to Thursday 9am to 1am, Friday to 2am, SATURDAY AND EVE OF PUBLIC HOLIDAY 8.30AM TO 3AM, and Sunday and public holidays 8.30am to 1am. BEST FOR: anyone in the west, anyone bowling one or two games, and anyone who wants to bowl at 2am on a Saturday.
Public $3.80/game off-peak (Mon-Fri 9am-6pm), $4.60 peak. CSC members $3.00. 91 Bukit Batok West Ave 2, open to 3am Sat
THE CHEAPEST LANE IN SINGAPORE, AND THE ONLY ALLEY HERE THAT REFUSES TO SELL YOU A SINGLE GAME. The Civil Service Club's Tessensohn alley prices everything BY THE LANE PER HOUR: $20 for the public off-peak and $27 peak, $18 and $25 for public officers and HomeTeamNS members, and $14 and $20 for Civil Service Club members. Off-peak is Monday to Friday 10am to 6pm. DO THE ARITHMETIC AND THIS IS THE BEST VALUE ON THE LIST FOR A GROUP. Five friends bowling two games each is ten games. At SuperBowl's public off-peak rate of $5.50 that session costs $55; at Sonic Bowl Yishun's $6.00 it is $60. At Planet Bowl the same hour costs $20 total, or $4 a head, and an hour comfortably fits two games for five bowlers. The flip side is equally sharp: a couple who want one quick game each are paying $20 for what would cost $7.60 at Westwood, so this is a venue you choose by group size, not by brand. Twenty lanes with Brunswick Vector Plus scoring, INCLUDING TEN SIDE BUMPER LANES FOR CHILDREN at no extra charge, which matters because SuperBowl pushes bumper users onto its hourly rate. There is also a Kegel lane-oiling machine and Specto ball tracking, and a Drillicious pro shop on site. Hours are Monday to Thursday 10am to 11pm, Friday to 1am, Saturday and eve of public holiday 9am to 1am, Sunday and public holidays 9am to 11pm. BEST FOR: groups of four or five, families with young children, and anyone in the city fringe near Farrer Park.
Public $20/lane/hour off-peak (Mon-Fri 10am-6pm), $27 peak. CSC members $14. 60 Tessensohn Road, 10 bumper lanes included
THE BIGGEST CHAIN IN SINGAPORE AND THE ONE MOST PEOPLE MEAN WHEN THEY SAY BOWLING, with six centres: Jurong, Mount Faber (inside SAFRA Mount Faber), Khatib (inside HomeTeamNS Khatib), Siglap (at Siglap CC), Tampines (SAFRA Tampines) and Toa Payoh (SAFRA Toa Payoh). EVERY CENTRE RUNS THE IDENTICAL RATE CARD, so there is no point shopping between branches on price. Monday to Friday until 6pm: $5.50 per game for the public and $4.30 for SAFRA, HomeTeamNS, SuperBowl and PAssion cardholders, or $30 and $24 per lane per hour. From 6pm and all weekend: $6.00 public and $4.80 members, $42 and $36 by the lane. THE CHEAPEST NUMBER ON SUPERBOWL'S SITE IS NOT ON THE RATE CARD AT ALL: a standing SENIOR CITIZEN PROMOTION of $3.00 PER GAME, Monday to Friday excluding public holidays, 12pm to 4pm, valid at every centre on production of an original NRIC or Senior Citizen EZ-link card. That undercuts the $3.50 student rate and every member rate in the chain. TWO CATCHES WORTH MORE THAN THE HEADLINE. First, THE STUDENT RATE EXPIRES AT 6PM: under-21s pay $3.50 on a weekday afternoon but $6.00 from 6pm, which is the full public price and $1.20 MORE than a cardholding adult beside them. Second, BUMPER LANES FOR CHILDREN AGED 10 AND UNDER ARE CHARGED AT HOURLY RATES ONLY, so a family that needs bumpers cannot buy the $5.50 game at all and starts at $30 an hour. Shoes are $2 and socks $2, socks are compulsory with house shoes, rates cover a maximum of two lanes, and one lane takes five bowlers. Most centres run 12pm to midnight midweek and to 1am on Fridays, with Saturday from 10am; Siglap opens later, at 12pm daily. BEST FOR: seniors, weekday afternoons, and anyone who wants a branch near home.
Senior Citizen promotion: $3.00 per game, Mon-Fri (excl. PH) 12pm-4pm at all 6 centres. NRIC or Senior Citizen EZ-link required
THE BIGGEST BOWLING CENTRE ON THIS LIST AT 36 LANES, and one of only two operators here that says plainly on its own page that RATES ARE INCLUSIVE OF 9% GST, which makes its numbers directly comparable in a way most rate cards are not. The public pays $5.00 per game off-peak (before 6pm) and $6.00 peak, or $24 and $34 per lane per hour. NTUC union members pay $4.30 and $5.50, PAssion cardholders $4.50 and $5.70, and Orchid Country Club members $3.00 and $3.50. THE STANDOUT LINE IS THE STUDENT ONE: full-time students aged 21 and under pay $3.50 a game and $20 PER LANE PER HOUR OFF-PEAK, which is the cheapest student lane rate we found anywhere in Singapore, cheaper than Sonic Bowl's $22 at Yishun and level with Planet Bowl's public rate. Coaching lanes are cheaper still at $15 an hour off-peak. Socks and shoes are $2 each. NOTE ONE ODDITY IN THE CARD: club members get no hourly lane rate at all, only per-game pricing, so a member with a big group is better off buying games than a lane. Opening hours run Monday to Thursday 11am to 11pm, Friday, Saturday and eve of public holiday 10am to 1am, and Sunday and public holidays 10am to 11pm. It is the preferred venue for corporate bowling events, so weekday evenings can be block-booked. BEST FOR: students, north-side residents, and large groups who want 36 lanes rather than a queue.
Students 21 and under: $3.50/game or $20 per lane per hour off-peak, the cheapest student lane rate in Singapore. Rates include GST
FOUR CENTRES AND NO SINGLE ANSWER TO WHAT A GAME COSTS, which is the trap here. Sonic Bowl runs SAFRA Punggol, SAFRA Choa Chu Kang, SAFRA Yishun and Our Tampines Hub, and publishes a separate rate card for each. PUNGGOL AND CHOA CHU KANG are the cheap pair: public $5.50 per game off-peak and $6.50 peak, $30 and $42 by the lane, with students at $4.00 a game and $18 PER LANE PER HOUR. YISHUN AND OUR TAMPINES HUB are the dear pair: public $6.00 and $7.00, $32 and $44 by the lane, with the student lane at $22. That $7.00 peak game is THE MOST EXPENSIVE MAINSTREAM PER-GAME RATE IN SINGAPORE, above SuperBowl's $6.00 and Orchid Bowl's $6.00, and the same student pays 22% more for a lane at Yishun than at Punggol. All prices include GST. THREE THINGS THE ROUNDUPS MISS. First, SAFRA AND HOMETEAMNS RATES DO NOT APPLY AT OUR TAMPINES HUB, which is a PAssion-only card there, so an NSman walking into Tampines pays the full public price. Second, CHOA CHU KANG PRICES SATURDAY DIFFERENTLY FROM EVERY OTHER OUTLET: its peak band is defined as weekday evenings, Sunday and public holidays, and the whole of Saturday runs as Interactive Bowling sold BY THE LANE ONLY at $44 an hour for the public, so you cannot buy a per-game rate there on a Saturday at all. Choa Chu Kang is also the only outlet with VIP rooms, at $500 off-peak and $800 peak for two hours. Third, EVERY SONIC BOWL CENTRE IS CASHLESS: PayWave, NETS, GrabPay, ShopeePay, FavePay and EZ-Link only. Cosmic Night runs at all centres on Saturdays and eves of public holidays from 9pm, by the lane, at $44 to $46 for the public. Rates cover a maximum of four lanes, five bowlers per lane; shoes and socks $2 each. All four centres open Sunday to Thursday 11am to 11pm and Friday, Saturday and eve of public holiday 11am to 1am. Lanes are assigned by staff and phone bookings want three days' notice. BEST FOR: Punggol and Choa Chu Kang regulars; check the outlet before assuming the price.
Students (21 and under): $4.00/game at all 4 outlets, and $18 per lane per hour at SAFRA Punggol and Choa Chu Kang against $22 at Yishun and Our Tampines Hub
THE ALLEY EVERY ROUNDUP CALLS THE CHEAPEST IN SINGAPORE, AND THE ONE WITH THE LEAST EVIDENCE BEHIND THAT CLAIM. StarBowl is a 24-lane centre on the third floor of the HomeTeamNS clubhouse at Bukit Batok. It is a tenant of the clubhouse rather than a HomeTeamNS facility, which is why it has no page in the HomeTeamNS facilities menu and no rate card anywhere on the site. WE COULD NOT FIND A PUBLISHED PRICE LIST FOR IT ANYWHERE ONLINE: no website, no rate page, and no current rate card on its socials. The figures quoted around the internet, generally in the region of two to three dollars a game, all trace back to third-party listings rather than to the operator, and the oldest of them sit on posts several years old. WE HAVE DELIBERATELY NOT PUT A NUMBER IN THE TABLE FOR IT, because a price we cannot source is worth less to you than an honest blank. CALL 6564 7500 BEFORE YOU GO. What IS confirmed, from HomeTeamNS's own clubhouse listing, is the address and the hours, and the hours are the real draw: SUNDAY TO THURSDAY 10AM TO MIDNIGHT, AND FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND PUBLIC HOLIDAYS 10AM TO 3AM. Only Westwood Bowl, ten minutes away, stays open as late, and StarBowl does it on two nights rather than one. The clubhouse around it also holds a laser tag arena, a golf range and a food court, so it works as one stop in a longer evening. BEST FOR: late-night bowling in the west, and anyone already at the clubhouse.
24 lanes, open to 3am Fri, Sat and PH. No rate card published online: call 6564 7500 for prices. 2 Bukit Batok West Ave 7, #03-01
THE BOUTIQUE OPTION, THE ONLY ALLEY IN THIS GUIDE IN THE CITY CENTRE, AND THE ONLY ONE THAT ADDS SERVICE CHARGE AND GST ON TOP OF ITS PUBLISHED PRICE. K Bowling Club sits inside 313 Orchard Road and prices in four bands: Monday to Thursday 10am to 4pm is $11 per game per person and 4pm to 1am is $15; Friday to Sunday plus eve of public holiday and public holiday is $13 before 4pm and $17 after. THE LINE UNDER THE TABLE IS THE ONE THAT MATTERS: all prices exclude shoe rental and are subject to 10% service charge and 9% GST. RUN THOSE MULTIPLIERS AND THE REAL PRICES ARE $13.19, $17.99, $15.59 AND $20.38. Every other alley in this guide quotes a number you actually pay, so K Bowling is not three times the price of SuperBowl, it is closer to three and a half, and $20.38 against Westwood Bowl's $4.60 on the same Saturday night is a multiple of 4.4. WHAT YOU GET FOR IT IS REAL, THOUGH, AND IT IS NOT THE BOWLING. This is a cosmic-bowling and arcade venue built for a night out on Orchard Road: neon lanes, a bar and food menu, an arcade, and a room designed for groups and parties rather than for league play. There is no ball-tracking system, no pro shop and no coaching programme, because that is not the point of it. Open daily to 1am, with reservations on 6737 5313 and group bookings by WhatsApp on 9127 0313. BEST FOR: a night out in town, birthdays and company parties, and anyone who wants bowling to be the backdrop rather than the sport.
$11/game Mon-Thu before 4pm, up to $17 Fri-Sun after 4pm. Add 10% service charge and 9% GST: you actually pay $13.19 to $20.38, shoes extra

Every figure above was read off the operator's own published rate card or booking page on 5 September 2026: the Civil Service Club's separate Westwood Bowl and Planet Bowl microsites, all six SuperBowl outlet pages plus its promotions page, Orchid Country Club's Orchid Bowl page, all four Sonic Bowl outlet rate cards, HomeTeamNS's Bukit Batok clubhouse listing and K Bowling Club's own rates section.
We did not take prices from other roundups, and that matters more than usual here. Orchid Bowl at E!Hub in Downtown East is closed. It still appears as a live listing on most of the major Singapore bowling roundups, but Downtown East's own attractions pages no longer list bowling at all, NTUC Club's brand page now describes Orchid Bowl as a single centre at Orchid Country Club, and the ACRA record for the E!Hub entity shows its registration has ceased. If a guide is still sending you to Pasir Ris to bowl, it has not been re-checked in a long time.
The other thing a re-check catches is StarBowl. It is widely quoted at around $2.20 a game, a figure that props up more than one "cheapest bowling in Singapore" headline, but we could not find that number, or any number, on anything the operator publishes. We have left its cells blank rather than repeat it.
This is the single biggest saving on this page and almost nobody spells it out. Per game is charged per person. Per hour is charged per lane, for up to five people. So the right choice flips entirely on group size.
Take SuperBowl's public off-peak rates, $5.50 a game against $30 a lane per hour. Two friends playing two games each is four games, or $22, so per game wins. Five friends playing two games each is ten games, or $55, against $30 for the hour that comfortably fits them, so the lane wins by $25. The break-even sits at about six games, which in practice means three or more bowlers planning more than one game.
Now apply it across venues, because the two Civil Service Club alleys sit at opposite extremes. Westwood Bowl sells games and no lanes; Planet Bowl sells lanes and no games. For a couple wanting one game each, Westwood is $7.60 and Planet Bowl is $20. For five people wanting two games each, Westwood is $38 and Planet Bowl is $20. Same operator, same city, and the cheaper of the two swaps places depending purely on how many of you turn up.
1. Six o'clock is the cliff. Every operator here raises its rate in the evening, and most raise it again for the whole weekend. Westwood goes $3.80 to $4.60, SuperBowl $5.50 to $6.00, Sonic Bowl Yishun $6.00 to $7.00. A weekday afternoon is the cheapest hour of the week everywhere on this list.
2. Read the small print for a "++". Only K Bowling Club adds service charge and GST on top of its advertised number, which turns $17 into $20.38. Orchid Bowl and Sonic Bowl both state their prices already include GST. SuperBowl and the Civil Service Club alleys publish flat figures. Comparing a "++" price against a GST-inclusive one is how boutique alleys end up looking closer to the chains than they are.
3. Budget $4 a head before you bowl a ball. Shoes are $2 and socks $2 at SuperBowl, Orchid Bowl and Sonic Bowl, and socks are compulsory with rented shoes at all of them. For a $3.80 game at Westwood, the shoes can cost more than the bowling.
4. Bumpers can force you onto the hourly rate. SuperBowl charges bumper lanes for children aged 10 and under at hourly rates only, so a family that needs bumpers starts at $30 an hour rather than $5.50 a game. Planet Bowl includes ten side bumper lanes at its normal rate, which makes it materially cheaper for young children than the price cards alone suggest.
5. A discount card is not a discount everywhere. SAFRA and HomeTeamNS rates work at Sonic Bowl's three SAFRA outlets but not at Our Tampines Hub. SuperBowl accepts SAFRA, HomeTeamNS, PAssion and its own card at one shared member price. Orchid Bowl prices NTUC, PAssion and club membership at three different levels.
6. Check the day, not just the time. Sonic Bowl Choa Chu Kang takes Saturday out of its per-game structure entirely and sells the whole day by the lane. It is the only outlet in the group that does this, and it is on the same brand's website as three outlets that do not.
For a member of the public walking in, a game costs between $3.80 and $7.00 at the mainstream alleys, and $13.19 to $20.38 at K Bowling Club once its 10% service charge and 9% GST are added. The cheapest published walk-in game is $3.80 at Westwood Bowl in Bukit Batok on a weekday before 6pm. The cheapest lane is $20 an hour at Planet Bowl in Tessensohn, which covers up to five bowlers. Add $2 for shoes and $2 for socks at most centres, since socks are compulsory with rented shoes.
Per game is charged per person, while per hour is charged per lane for up to five bowlers, so group size decides it. Using SuperBowl's public off-peak rates of $5.50 a game against $30 a lane per hour, the break-even is around six games. Two people playing two games each pay $22 and should buy games; five people playing two games each would pay $55 in games but only $30 for the hour. As a rule, three or more bowlers planning more than one game should rent the lane.
No. Orchid Bowl at E!Hub in Downtown East has closed, although it still appears on many Singapore bowling roundups. Downtown East's own attractions pages no longer list bowling, NTUC Club's brand page now describes Orchid Bowl as a single centre at Orchid Country Club in Yishun, and the ACRA record for the E!Hub entity shows its registration has ceased. The Orchid Country Club branch, with 36 lanes, is still trading and is open to the public.
Two alleys run to 3am. Westwood Bowl at CSC Bukit Batok is open until 3am on Saturdays and eves of public holidays, and until 2am on Fridays. StarBowl at HomeTeamNS Bukit Batok runs to 3am on both Fridays and Saturdays as well as public holidays. After that, SuperBowl, Orchid Bowl, Sonic Bowl, Planet Bowl and K Bowling Club all close at 1am at the latest.
Yes, but they are narrower than they look. SuperBowl runs a standing senior promotion of $3.00 a game, Monday to Friday excluding public holidays, 12pm to 4pm at all six centres, on production of an NRIC or Senior Citizen EZ-link card, and that beats its own $3.50 student rate. The student rate is the one to watch: at SuperBowl it applies only until 6pm, after which under-21s pay the full public price of $6.00. Sonic Bowl charges students $4.00 a game at all four outlets, and Orchid Bowl gives full-time students 21 and under $3.50 a game or $20 a lane per hour off-peak, the cheapest student lane rate we found.
Planet Bowl at CSC Tessensohn is the strongest choice on price and setup: it has ten side bumper lanes for children built into its twenty lanes at no extra charge, and its whole rate card is per lane per hour, so a family pays $20 off-peak regardless of how many games the children play. SuperBowl is the one to watch, because it charges bumper lanes for children aged 10 and under at hourly rates only, which means a family needing bumpers cannot use its $5.50 per-game price and starts at $30 an hour instead.
