Reviewed 10/08/2011 | Orvis Sandanona is second to none. The management and staff always go out of the way to make your visit a awesome day out. I shoot at other facilities over the years and by far, not one comes close to the beauty of the course and its skill level. A must visit for all shooters. |

Reviewed 07/13/2009 | This place is first class. What a way to spend a day. The grounds and he course are super. The people go out of their way to help the novice as well as the pro. The pro shop is second to none. Lunch on the premise, what a welcome addition to the day. I can't wait to go back and do it again. I really had a great time. |

Reviewed 08/27/2007 | WOW! This is a spectacular place. If you have the opportunity to shoot here take it!!! The course is almost entirely in the woods with a very "real shoot" feel. And some angles that are entirely unique ("the ravine shot" for example. Birds are 30 feet below coming from beneath you and heading directly away...)
This is a very challenging course with lots of hard shots. However don’t let that scare you the Trappers are second to none in knowledge both of their course and clay shooting in general. The information I picked up just from shooting a round here has improved my overall shooting markedly.
However be prepared to spend a more for this experience since shooting at Orvis is not the same cost as shooting at your typical club.

Reviewed on or prior to 11/20/2005 | Orvis Sandanona is one of the premier Sporting Clays courses in the country. Their course is 16 stations and you pick and choose which stations you want to shoot. They will send you out with a trapper who is usually very experienced and can suggest which stations may be better suited for your skills. Typically the trappers have you shoot 5 pairs at each station and you go to 10 stations. Walking is relatively easy but carts may be rented. The cost is on the pricey side ($75 for 100 targets), but the variety of targets is vast. Don't miss the station that I call "the gully" when you go. This station is a high tower overlooking a gully and the birds come screaming down the gully about 40 feet below you. This is the course where "The Vintage Cup" is held each year. Definitely call ahead for reservations. Expect to tip the trapper as they field clean your gun while you are checking out. |
