News & Events

ATTENTION!

The club is now in the season hours: Tue, Wed, Fri, Sat, and Sun, 9AM to 4PM, plus Thur for members only.

We will be open this weekend, Saturday, March 28th and Sunday, March 29th.

We know a lot of people are raising plenty of concerns about COVID-19 and decided we are going to follow suit with other businesses and implement some new safety guidelines for all our shooters to help curb the spread of the coronavirus.

We will now be limiting our golf carts to a maximum of 2 people riding at a time. Not to worry though, if you have a group of 4 and need 2 carts, we will only charge you for one.
For trap, skeet, and sporting clays, we will be asking everyone to please maintain a safe distance of 6ft between you and your fellow shooters.
Sanitation will be extremely important moving forward and we are taking steps with this as well. We will be constantly cleaning all surfaces such as golf carts, golf cart keys, target cards, countertops, door handles, handsets for trap/skeet/sporting clays, picnic tables, and restrooms. Please feel free to bring your own disinfectant as well!
In the mornings, we will no longer be allowing people to congregate in the office. If you would like to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning, we recommend using the room outside the office while keeping a safe distance from others.
No more than 2 people checking in or checking out will be allowed in the office at any time.
While at the club, please only handle your own belongings such as ammo, shooting bags, guns, and refrain from touching anyone’s belongings.
The kitchen will be closed until further notice.
Lastly, if you are feeling ill, please stay home!

We understand that some of this may seem little extreme. However, we feel that if everyone does their part, we can make the club a safe place to shoot and avoid any kind of spreading of the virus so that we can move forward and go back to business as normal. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Only on Tuesday we offer half-priced golf cart and gun rentals!

Due to COVID-19 concerns, we have cancelled our upcoming NSCA shoot, which was scheduled for Sunday, March 29th. If you had made a deposit for a golf cart, please get in touch with us so we could refund you.

Tuesday, March 31st, will be the last Tuesday open. Starting April 1st, our schedule will be Wed, Fri, Sat, and Sun, 9AM to 4PM, plus Thur for members only.

We now offer beginner instruction and safety course at 15-20% off regular price!!! Includes a 30 minute lesson with a certified instructor, gun, ammo, targets, eye and ear protection, and a golf cart! $110 for 1 person (15% off regular price) and $190 for 2 persons (20% off regular price). Reservations required! Call the club house at 239-642-8999 to book.

Members’ Appreciation Party 2020

On Thursday, March 12^th, Gulf Coast Clays held our annual Members’ appreciation party. Members and their guest had a chance to shoot in the morning, then enjoy a delicious lunch prepared by our own Frank and Peggy. We also invited Konnie to play some music for us. This members’ party was special since it is the first party thrown by Corey not as the general manager, but also the owner of the club. Team GCC is grateful to our members for their support, and we will continue to improve for everyone. We are happy so many of you could make it, and sorry that some of you missed the party. Hope to see all of you next year! In the meantime, here are some photos from the event:
