The Swing Bays is an indoor golf franchise with strong unit economics and growing demand. Perfect for anyone who loves golf, wants to create a community around golf and is ready to take charge of their own destiny.
Hi I’m Phil Gugliotta – franchise consultant, entrepreneur and the first-ever Swing Bays franchisee!
After 20+ years in corporate leadership and staffing, I made a pivot into entrepreneurship and never looked back. I discovered Swing Bays as a franchise consultant and immediately saw the potential – community driven, cutting-edge golf tech, a booming market, and a brand that understands what today’s consumers want: social, active, experience-driven entertainment.
In addition to being a franchisee, I now help others explore whether The Swing Bays is the right franchise for them – guiding you through the process, answering your questions, and making sure you feel confident every step of the way.
Whether you’re a golf enthusiast, an investor, or just someone looking for a fun and scalable business model, I’m here to help you navigate the opportunity. Book a meeting with me below and let’s tee off on your franchise journey!
