Enjoy our 75-acre, 30-station sporting clays course featuring elevated and panoramic views of the Las Vegas Strip and the surrounding mountains. We have people to instruct you and give you tips if you've never done it before. Sporting clays are also known as "golf with guns" since most users travel between shooting stations in golf carts that have been modified with gun racks. The 270-degree, elevated, panoramic view is like no other in the world, and shooting stations have been strategically placed featuring backdrops such as Mt. Charleston and the Las Vegas Strip in the immediate background, providing unequalled photo opportunities. The design by world-renowned outdoorsman and course designer Marty Fischer also involves subtle rolling hills developed around each shooting station, providing each with its own intimate environment. Unlike sporting clay stations at most other courses, this one features three shooting positions at each station for a total of 90. The shooting positions are also be labeled in red, white & blue indicating degrees of difficulty associated with the position. Two of the stations offer targets running on the ground, while the others simulate birds in flight. Sporting clays is a form of clay pigeon shooting that is designed to simulate the unpredictability of shooting live birds, offering numerous target flight presentations with variations in speed, distance, elevation and target size. The County's sporting clays course covers approximately 75 acres. The sporting clays course rounds out a wonderful assortment of amenities already available at the 2,900-acre complex, located at 11357 N. Decatur Blvd., about five miles north of the 215 Beltway.
