"Road bowling was actually expensive for what it was. 2 balls and a score sheet for €64. The price, a button.
Also, the e-choppers. They were fun, but we had chosen a different route this year than last year and still we got the same assignments. We also found the number of assignments to be minimal.
More attention could be paid to this. Drive the route yourself and come up with fun things to do with things you encounter along the way, there is plenty. "

"The chances of losing a ball are quite high, given the high vegetation along the course. We also lost a ball. We think paying 25 euros for a lost ball is a lot of money. "

"Echopper route was not via the app Loquiz, but via junction route. Fine by me, but then lets download the nodes app.... (luckily I already had it).
Route was very short, 17km for an hour and a half.
Give guests a choice between short and long routes. Guests who want to tour can then take the shorter route, guests who just want to "tear it up" a bit harder can take the longer route.
It Road bowling fine, but I would give the balls a new color, as we had quite a bit of trouble finding them back in the thicket. And maybe an idea to put signage on the route? We were just guessing at this point.
All in all, we had a successful afternoon. Definitely recommended and worth repeating!"

Judith Heinrich about Road bowling:

"We found it a fun activity, but we ridiculously expensive to pay pp 9.50 euros to rent 2 balls for 3 hours. For 9 people we paid over 100 euros for this. "
Joost Wouters about Road bowling:

"Very overpriced. It's a fun activity with a group, but almost 10 euros p.p. for two balls and a scoreboard is very overpriced. Half is still more than enough."

"Very fun to do, also drove a very nice route. But the batteries we were given were already half full when we left. We did have two spare batteries with us, but even those turned out not to be full. So all in all, we drove with 4 batteries empty. Luckily we could be pushed by e-choppers, otherwise we would have had to wait half an hour in the blood heat for new batteries to be delivered. 2 of the 6 e-choppers had dead batteries. "

"We found the route quite short, we had plenty of time to spare & then drove ourselves a nice route towards Elspeet, Uddel and then back to Garderen"

"Explanation e chopper is poor especially if you do not ride or have not ridden a motorcycle or moped.
of great importance to mention that the rear brake is on the left, in a curve with slightly extended front fork braking with front brake is asking for accidents. also mention that before you get off again first turn off the chopper.

"I myself once shot bollocks in the eastern part of the country years ago and I keep fond memories of it. I even kept a new ball and bag as a winner. That course went over good wide dirt roads without any traffic. Very relaxed and sporty.
We think you have a lot to learn from how it took place back then. Except for one part, no really good trails to quietly Road bowling. Constant cyclists or hikers. And old worn out playground balls.
With the very positive and professional approach and conduct as experience, therefore now a bad rating. We especially hope that you do something with this, so that it will be a party to do this activity again with you.
Kind regards,
Peter Ouboter"

"Was disappointing. Went with a group of 19 people Road bowling. But 7.5€ pp. for two balls is very overrated. Would not recommend it."
Kaylee Westerveld About Miscellaneous:

"Price/quality disproportionate . 7.50 per person for two (old) bollocks and a route not clearly marked in the forest. Explanation funny."

"When booking, I specified that there should be 1 pastry with no gluten and no milk.
Afterwards, I got a stomach ache and was very tired.
When I called bakery Schreuder, I was told that it contained lactose free milk. The guy who had passed it on said without gluten and without lactose, I was told by the bakery employee."

"Very well received, despite some loss of time' caused by ins; excellent guidance explanation, e.g. about use of E-chppers; smooth flow to archery program afterwards, nice bottles of water in backpack with it, top ! DE, VELUWESPECIALIST is a professional company, well equipped', consumer friendly, an asset to your activity always and very good to succeed. Also great accessibility and great info and options on their deliverable activities. Go do it with them, you won't regret it...!!! Do it...!"

"We did not do Road bowling as stated here. What was unfortunate is that we actually wanted to reserve 24x e-scooter but you only had 20 and then we had to rent 4 e-scooters as well. I think there were still e-scooters on your parking lot when we came back so it would have been possible to rent 24x e-scooter. That would have been more fun for us because those who had to go on the e-bike did not like that as much as on an e-scooter. "

"Dear...
The Road bowling was nice.
No coffee at reception and no prize-giving ceremony afterwards while the information on the your site indicated this.
Of course you are received with a delicious cup of coffee or tea in the store. Afterwards you will receive an explanation from us about Road bowling and of course you will receive the route. Afterwards there will be a prize-giving ceremony for the winning team and their prize! Afterwards you will have the opportunity to have a snack or drink at one of the restaurants in the area.

"Fun day we had, lots of fun. Road bowling was fun to do, but 7.50 pp I think is on the high side for 2 balls and a score paper. Nice that we were given a drink to take along for the way though."

"The route map was not clear to us; we needed our phone with it. It would be good to mention a few landmarks: turn left at ...... Or send it along as a GPS file."
Brenda Kalwij About Miscellaneous:

"It was all well taken care of, well received, clear explanation of the activities, we had as a tip only passed balls re-sprayed, we could hardly find them in the forest and indicate the route in the forest more clearly with maybe a sign route Road bowling. "

"Very nice day we had, friendly staff. Location Uddel was also nice, furthermore we unfortunately had slightly less weather with the E-chopper and some batteries were a bit off, but this was solved very well and we got new ones for it. All in all everyone had a great time."

"The start of Road bowling was not clearly marked. The employee clearly didn't feel like it. Not worth repeating. "

The Road bowling was also kind of fun, just too bad you had to walk so far before you could start."

"Best organization,
On May 16 we had a fantastic afternoon at the Klimbos in Garderen. The children enjoyed this very much and the guidance was very pleasant.
On May 17 we did the activity Road bowling . We were warmly welcomed with something to drink, but to be honest we found the activity very disappointing. We were sent out with a map that was not clear enough.
Moreover, we paid €7.50 per child; we didn't think this was worth it. Very little is asked of the staff and in terms of materials there are actually few costs as well. We actually wonder a bit what the price is based on.
Perhaps you can do something with this with groups coming after us to do this activity.
Kind regards,
Ellen-Marieke Bosch and Cora van Maanen

MJ van den Hoven about Road bowling:

"We think the activity is fine but the price is too high. You get a route and a backpack with 3 balls, the price is a button. Nature is used. If you compare it to, say, miniature golf, offering this game really costs the company almost nothing! It should therefore cost half or at most €4,- p.p.! Several times it is hammered on the cost of a lost ball which is €15,-. The repetition did not come across as very friendly. In addition, we booked and paid online but no coffee or tea was offered. I would still like that amount refunded."

"New bollocks may be purchased , or the old ones painted in bright colors.
Also quite pricey! Explanation from staff not good."
Ester van Leuveren About Miscellaneous:

"It was all very well organized with the packed lunch, apple pie and coffee. We were even given a bicycle to carry all the packed lunches during the Road bowling , very thoughtful.
The directions from the Road bowling were very confusing for us, perhaps a map would bring more clarity. But other than that, top notch!"
Sjors Oort about Road bowling:

Sabine van de Zanden about Road bowling:

"Road bowling is a simple activity, where price-activity ratio is many times too far apart."
Ms. MIrjam De Jong-Koopman About Miscellaneous:

"Road bowling with 10 people: 10x 7,50= 75€.
- price-wise: ridiculously high for two balls with almost no color left on them, which made you look forlorn!
- Moreover, the route was not clear!
-Reception was good
In short this game in this way not recommendable!"

"We went to Road bowling, we were very much searching how the paatjes ran. Berhard and unvrhard. We could not find referral signs for this. Staff otherwise helped us kindly.
Climbing forest was fantastic. The children including adults have been nice and busy. Thus a successful family day"
W. Steinz about Road bowling:

"Fun activity in a beautiful setting (Road bowling). However, I did find the price we paid (20 children x €7.50) very expensive! This would also keep me from booking the activity again. "
