Hartford, Wi – Entrepreneur Cody Hill of Slinger, Wi, is eyeing up opening a new business in Hartford, Wi. Swing Anytime Indoor Golf and Sports Bar has signed a lease in the strip mall across from Walmart, formerly the spot home to Shoe Sensation.
Shoe Sensation opened on Liberty Avenue in early 2019. Now, five short years later the nearly 5,000-square-foot space is being filled by Swing Anytime.

Hill’s website reads:
Swing Anytime is Hartford’s newest indoor golf haven and sports bar, where golf enthusiasts and casual players alike can perfect their swing on state-of-the-art simulators, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! Grab a cold beer or cocktail, enjoy a delicious pizza or shareable appetizers with friends, and catch the game on our big screens. Swing Anytime is the perfect place to unwind, socialize, and enjoy the game of golf, no matter the weather.
“We’re not a franchise,” said Hill. “This is something I’m building from the ground up.”
“We’re going to have four golf simulators and one of the things that makes us a little bit different than all of the other golf simulator businesses, is we’re going to have a membership that allows folks to come 24/7,” he said.
“You can book on our website ahead of time, you’ll be given a unique code to get into the facility and you can go golfing, even though we don’t have staff there to serve drinks.”
Another difference in Hill’s business model is the simulators themselves will cover more sports than just golf.
“Our facility is going to have these simulators you can use for batting practice, soccer practice. There’s a quite a few others; it’s like seven or eight different sports you can use on them,” he said.
Hill is waiting on approval from the state before he can dig in and start the buildout.
Pending state approval, Hill hopes to open around November 2024.
