Brentwood bowl opened in 1951. At the time, this 16 lane house was the largest bowling center in San Mateo County (hard to imagine today). In the early days, all bowling centers had wood lanes. Brentwood Bowl is one of the few centers that still has wood lanes, as opposed to the synthetic lanes found in most bowling centers today.

Over the years Brentwood Bowl has set records that no other center could match. In 1961 the Brentwood Bowl team, which included the owner, Bob Wild, won the Men’s National Tournament.

In 1965, the junior national champion was none other that our junior bowler, Dave Doran.

In 1988, Brentwood bowlers Elaine Van Otten, Sharon Cassidy, Jan Gaynor, Bonnie Magness and Diane Dickson brought home the Women’s National Championship. Most of these women continue to bowl at Brentwood .

Then in 2006, Elaine Van Otten and Sharon Cassidy became the USBC Womens national doubles championship winners..

Paula Harris qualified at Brentwood Bowl for the first ever national bowling karaoke contest. Paula then advanced to the regional finals and onto the finals in Florida , where she was named the national winner.

An impressive championship history for a 16 lane center.

The Wild Family had a tradition of making Brentwood Bowl a place where everyone felt at home. Whether bowling, playing pool, having a meal or sharing a cocktail with friends, you felt like family. The present owner, Millard Tong, believes in this tradition started by the Wild Family and continues to make Brentwood Bowl a place where anyone can come on in and feel at home.

So why not stop by, be a part of history and become one of the Brentwood Bowl Family.
