I remember a sports game show that involved a full length bowling alley and golf simulator. The show ran in the mid 70's. Anyone else remember this one?

There was a batting cage, football throw, football end zone and uprights, golf simulator, hockey net, horseshoes, basketball key, pool table, bowling alleys, and a few other things. The set was billed as "the world's most spectacular gameroom".

Just for fun, I'll ask:  did 50 Grand Slam have a golf segment?  I know they did a bowling competition sometime before the athletic events were pitched altogether.

They did on the first show.  Two ladies attempting to chip into a barrel in the studio.  With all those light bulbs around, it's a good thing the ladies were good golfers.
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.

I remember seeing an archery competition on 50 Grand Slam at one point also.

The pilot had golf and axe throwing.  Separate rounds though.
