The Golf Envy Story
The Golf Envy Story
A Golf Experience That Transcends Boundaries
The Vision of Ryan Wines
Ryan Wines, a California native and University of Southern California graduate, spent over 20 years running successful automotive dealerships before merging his business expertise with his love for golf to create Golf Envy. During the pandemic, inspired by his wife's growing interest in golf, Ryan identified a market gap for a private, professional-level golfing experience accessible to everyone.
“I wanted to create a space where anyone, regardless of their membership status at traditional country clubs, could experience the intensity and joy of golf training,” says Ryan. He transformed a location in his community into the first Golf Envy facility, installing cutting-edge simulators and designing the space to ensure a distraction-free environment focused solely on golf. His goal: to provide everyday people with the same professional coaching and advanced technology available to elite golfers.
