About
The sporting clays course was designed and outfitted by nationally renowned sporting clay course designers, Rick Hemingway and Heyward Cunningham. The course consists of 15 stations with four traps per station allowing for a two course (Blue and Gold) layout with target trajectories strategically positioned for every shooter level. The design and layout of the course has beautifully incorporated the topographic character and natural flow of the surrounding land.
The Long-Range Target Management system, used to operate the trap machines, allows for a variety of target combinations, providing numerous target options and patterns. A five-stand facility with eight traps, including a wobble trap, which provides challenging target trajectories for competition practice or warm-up, is also available for use at the club.
Golf carts, rental guns, and ammo are available at competitive pricing the Pro Shop daily with guns by Caesar Guerini in 12 and 20 gauge over/under models.
Shooting instruction is available from National Sporting Clay Association accredited instructors by appointment.
The Cleghorn Gun Club offers a membership program for individuals and corporations, as well as non-member access by appointment to the shooting public.
