Top 10 Reasons to Host Your Corporate Event at Etowah Valley Sporting Clays

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.

3. Scenic North Georgia Setting

Our location in Dawsonville, GA, is surrounded by lush woods, open skies, and fresh mountain air. This peaceful setting is the perfect antidote to screen fatigue and the hustle of the workweek.

Nature has a way of refreshing the mind, which means your team will return to the office inspired, focused, and ready to collaborate.

4. Options for All Skill Levels

If your team includes seasoned sporting clay enthusiasts or complete beginners, we have something for everyone.

  • 🟢 Green Course – Beginner-friendly, perfect for first-timers.

  • 🔴 Red & White Courses – For those who want a challenge.

  • 🔵 Blue Course – A balanced experience for mixed-skill groups.

No one has to feel intimidated. The focus is on having fun together, not competition.

5. Experienced Instructors for a Safe Experience

Safety is our top priority. Our team of skilled instructors: Tim, Mike, Ron, and George make sure everyone feels comfortable before heading out.

They provide clear guidance, hands-on training, and ongoing support throughout your event. That way, your group can focus on having fun while staying safe.

6. Flexible Event Spaces

EVSC is more than just a sporting clays venue. We also offer versatile event spaces to fit your needs:

  • Lodge – Perfect for indoor meetings, presentations, or catered meals.

  • Covered Pavilion – Great for group lunches, awards ceremonies, or networking.

  • Outdoor Seating Areas – Ideal for casual breaks or post-event conversations.

Whether you want a full-day retreat or a half-day mix of activities and meetings, we can tailor the schedule to fit your goals.

7. Rentals and Amenities On-Site

You don’t need to bring your own gear, we’ve got you covered:

  • Shotgun rentals

A corporate clay shoot in Georgia is more than a day of fun, it’s an investment in your people. Employees who feel appreciated and connected are more likely to stay, engage, and perform at their best.

Your team will head home with memories, inside jokes, and a renewed sense of pride in where they work.

10. Customizable Packages for Every Budget
