You could be heading inside for your next round of golf thanks to a new virtual experience swinging into downtown Doylestown.
Will Wister plans to bring the sport in from the cold this winter with the opening of Main Swing Golf, a new indoor golf lounge offering an entertaining and interactive virtual experience for every level of golfer.
“It’s for everyone from the novice golfer who’s never picked up a club before all the way to highly experienced golfers who need shot analysis data such as club speed, spin rate and swing distance to improve their game,” said Wister.
Main Swing Golf will be located on the second floor of Main Street Marketplace in Doylestown Borough, joining several restaurants and shops, including Hops/Scotch, Pennsylvania Soup & Seafood House, Harper & Penny’s, Spuntino Wood Fire Pizzeria, Cup & Cake Company, Urban Luxe and Olive Oil Etcetera.

The facility will feature four golf bays — equipped with Trackman iO, a golf simulator technology designed to deliver a realistic experience — and lounge with comfortable seating and televisions to provide a space for relaxing between turns.
When will Main Swing Golf open?
They aim to open by mid-December.
Memberships and gift cards will be available online beginning Black Friday.

Is Main Swing Golf only for serious golfers?
While it offers many opportunities for serious golfers to improve their game, the golf lounge is also for non-golfers looking for a fun activity to do together with friends and family, said Wister.
