Our Story

College Bowl opened its doors in 1964 with a simple mission: to provide Texarkana with a place where neighbors could gather, compete, and create lasting memories over the roll of a ball.


For more than fifty years, the same local family has maintained our commitment to authentic bowling entertainment, expanding our legacy with Holiday Entertainment Center while keeping College Bowl's retro charm intact.


From the original hardwood lanes to the vintage-inspired décor, our 2404 College Drive location captures the classic bowling alley atmosphere that made the sport a cornerstone of American communities.


We're proud to support local leagues, college players, and the Texarkana residents who have made us part of their family traditions, passing down the love of bowling through generations.
