South Plains Lanes is bowling in West Texas—the heart of the region’s bowling community.

It’s the people—family, friends, youth, amateurs, and professionals.

It’s the competition and the grit—hosting the biggest amateur and professional tournaments in the region.

For over 50 years, South Plains Lanes has been at the center of West Texas bowling. Though the center has changed hands, its spirit remains the same. Now, under the leadership of Walter Hanel of Hanel Properties, LLC, SPL is being restored to its full glory. Walter, a lifelong bowler in Lubbock, believes the best part of South Plains Lanes isn’t just the game—it’s the people who make it special.

Like a cactus thriving in the West Texas sun, SPL has stood the test of time—strong, resilient, and deeply rooted in the community.
