If you’re looking to host a company retreat that your team will actually enjoy, and remember, look no further than Etowah Valley Sporting Clays in Dawsonville, GA. Forget the stale conference rooms, awkward icebreakers, and lukewarm buffet trays. Here, you’ll get fresh air, exciting activities, and an experience that builds bonds and leaves your team energized.
Why Choose Etowah Valley Sporting Clays for Your Company Retreat?
We’ve hosted everyone from small local businesses to Fortune 500 teams, and the results are always the same, laughter, connection, and a renewed sense of purpose back at the office.
Here’s why your next corporate event should happen here:
1. Unmatched Team-Building Opportunities
Sporting clays is often called “golf with a shotgun” because it blends strategy, precision, and movement across multiple stations. It’s more than a sport, it’s a shared experience that teaches:
-
Focus & Patience – Each station requires concentration and timing.
-
Communication – Teams cheer each other on, share tips, and celebrate successes.
-
Resilience – Miss a target? No problem. There’s always the next round.
Unlike traditional team-building activities, this experience feels authentic, not forced. Everyone gets to participate, no matter their skill level, and the camaraderie happens naturally.
2. A Unique Venue That Stands Out
If your goal is to wow your employees or clients, EVSC delivers a memorable backdrop they won’t find in a standard event hall.
When your team shares photos from our rolling courses, lodge, or outdoor pavilion, they’re showcasing your company as a place that values unique, engaging experiences. That’s great for morale, and for your employer brand.
