The Swing Bays Story
When Dustin Miller began his career in 2001, his golf lesson program quickly took off, thanks to his exceptional skills and dedication to helping others. Alongside his wife Brenna, Dustin made it his goal to open an indoor golf facility with an advanced, tech-forward approach that would help golfers improve and enjoy the sport for longer.
Being deeply involved in the golf world, Dustin and Brenna recognized a massive demand for a concept like Swing Bays—a place where golfers can discover a supportive community and make new friends while cutting a few strokes off their game. They envisioned a place where golfers could gather, much like a country club, but with a strong emphasis on meaningful improvement, and a vibe that welcomed all.
Inspired by this vision, Swing Bays was born and quickly established itself as a golf experience unlike any other. From enjoying a freshly baked cookie while practicing at your bay, to chatting with PGA professionals about your swing, Swing Bays has built a welcoming culture of community and continuous improvement. It’s a place where golfers of all levels can feel at home, improve their game, and be part of a genuine golfing family.
