 The Sandy Creek Sporting Grounds Experience


Sandy Creek Sporting Grounds Information


Sporting Clays

Designed to emulate the unpredictable and challenging nature of a classic British shoot, the twenty-station sporting clays course at Sandy Creek is often described as “golf with a shotgun.” The full twenty-station sporting clays course takes approximately 2 ½ hours to complete and will provide the opportunity to experience everything from clays crossing, coming toward you, going away from you, running on the ground, and dropping out of the sky.

Quick Facts

  • Twenty-station clays course, 100 clays per person
  • Six-station short course, 50-75 clays per person
  • Non-toxic, biodegradable clay targets
  • Certified Guide

 

Five Stand

The Five Stand offers a unique experience for members looking for a more compact and competitive shooting adventure. The Five Stand incorporates five stations laid out next to one another, similar to trap shooting. With twenty-five shots per person, the shooter attempts a shot at five targets per station, then rotates to the next position until all 25 targets have been attempted. The presentations at each station are different, and can consist of singles or pairs of targets.

  • Five Stand Course
  • Several trap launchers throwing targets at various heights, angles and speed
  • 25 clays per person
