• Shot sizes larger than 7.5 are prohibited at GSC. The way our course is laid out, large shot can be a safety hazard. In addition, it can damage the power lines and traps.
• No Smoking on the course.  Smoking is allowed only in the parking lot
• Actions open when not shooting.  Unless the shooter is preparing to shoot, all actions must be open.
• You must pay to use the golf carts.  Golf carts are $10/day.  Drop cash or check in the box under the pavilion.
• Non-members accompanying members must pay the Non-member rate of $0.50/target.  It is the hosting member’s responsibility to ensure that the difference in target costs for their guests is paid to GSC.  Drop the difference in cash in the box under the pavilion.  i.e. if a non-member shoots 100 rounds with a member using the members card, $25 is owed to GSC.

Working with a shooting instructor is a fabulous way to improve your shooting abilities and is recommended for all new shooters who do not have an experienced shooting mentor to work with them. Instructors typically offer a 2-3 hour session of shotgun instruction. Instructors typically limit these sessions to four students.  The costs for the instructor’s fee, targets and ammo typically average around $150 per person for groups of three or more.  Additional instructors can be scheduled for larger groups. These costs are based on non-member target rates and are less for GSC members. You are welcome to contact local instructors listed below directly, or email us at and we can help arrange something for you and your group.

We currently have around 300 members. We operate 2 sporting clays courses and 3 five stands. Our “short course” consists of 8 stations with three different targets per station and our long course is 15 stations with three target presentations per station. The short course is generally set with more approachable targets and the long course is set with more challenging, competition style targets. We try to keep the targets changing every so often, so no one gets bored. All stations and the five stands run using a Promatic card reader system and it’s possible to shoot solo with this equipment.

The sporting clays courses are open from the first weekend in April (weather permitting) through the end of September. Members can access the courses/five stands 24×7 during April-Sep and we are open to non-members from 4-6pm Tu/Th and Saturday 10-2pm April-Sep. Target costs for members are currently $0.25 each and non-members pay $0.50/ each. We try to keep at least 2 of the five stands open throughout the year to members and they are accessible as long as the road is drivable (and not too muddy).  Both courses are walkable with fairly little elevation gain however some people do bring out their own golf carts/ SxS’s when they shoot. We have a couple of carts for those with mobility impairments. We also sell some ammunition at the clubhouse for sale during the times that we are open to non-members. 

Memberships are a $400 initiation fee which includes your first year of dues (assessed in Feb and currently $130/year). The membership includes your spouse and any children 18 and under.
