Yes, it’s time to Pull the trigger on a day you, your loved ones or team will remember.
You know that feeling, the rush of adrenaline when you shout “PULL!” and track the clay sailing through a wide-open sky? The thrill of smashing it to dust against a backdrop of rolling North Georgia hills? That’s the feeling we live for here at Etowah Valley Sporting Clays.
But truthfully? It’s about more than just the shot.
At EVSC, the experience begins before you even shoulder your shotgun. It starts with the drive in, passing green fields, gravel trails, and long stretches of sky. It continues as you step into the lodge, greeted by the smell of wood, the gleam of trophy cases, and the sound of conversation. Doesn’t matter if you’re here for a solo round, a lesson, a corporate event, or a weekend gathering, you’ll leave with more than just sore shoulders and empty shells, you’ll leave with a story.
📍 It’s in the View, the Vibe, the Legacy
There’s a rhythm to life at Etowah Valley. Nestled in the foothills of North Georgia, our courses are surrounded by tall pines, fresh air, and peaceful views that stretch for miles.
The heart of EVSC is our warm, rustic lodge, where visitors relax, gear up, and reconnect with old friends or make new ones. You’ll see our wall of trophies, many earned by our Etowah Valley Mambas youth team or competitors from across the Southeast. You’ll hear laughter, stories, and tips shared across tables.
There’s a sense of tradition here. Generations coming together to compete, learn, and enjoy a true sporting lifestyle. And once you experience it, you’ll want to come back again and again.
- 🎯 Four Courses, Four Different Challenges
- Every shooter is different. Some are first-timers. Others are long-time competitors. Some are here for stress relief; others are preparing for their next tournament. That’s why we’ve designed four unique courses, each offering a different challenge and thrill.
- 🟢 Green Course – Beginner Friendly
- The perfect place to start your journey. The Green Course is great for lessons, youth shooters, or anyone who wants to ease into the sport with confidence.

- If you’ve already got some experience and want a more diverse set of targets, the Blue Course offers just enough challenge to keep things exciting.
- 🔴 Red Course – Intermediate with Edge
- Tight shots, unpredictable angles, and a layout designed to push you further. This one’s a favorite for those chasing progress.
- ⚪ White Course – Advanced and Tournament Ready
- Long-distance targets. Fast clays. High-pressure setups. The White Course isn’t just difficult—it’s designed to prep you for serious competition.

✨ The Feeling You’ll Come Back For
It’s more than just hitting targets. It’s the smell of gunpowder and pine needles. It’s the view from the lodge deck. It’s hearing someone cheer for your shot or laughing with your team as you load the cart for one more round.
It’s a real break from your phone, your inbox, your meetings, and your running to-do list.
Here at Etowah Valley, we believe in turning moments into memories, whether you’re here for a quiet day alone, a special event, or just a chance to try something new.
And that moment, the one where the clay turns to dust in the sky? That’s yours to keep.
