Sporting Clays
Winding through scenic ponds, rolling terrain, forested thickets and a century-old pecan orchard, our sporting clays course presents guests with 20 signature location challenges. Often described as “golf with a shotgun,” sporting clays allow guests to enjoy a broad range of exciting clay movements, each providing distinctive entertainment for shooters of all levels.
-
Five-Stand
Known as a compact version of a sporting clays course, the five-stand cabin is set above an ancient spring-fed pond and the surrounding lowlands. Providing guests an uncommon setting to shoot, the rustic but luxurious cabin also features a fireplace and a gathering area for post-shooting events.
-
Air Rifles
Challenge yourself by taking aim at targets between 10 and 35 feet away on our outdoor air rifle course. Beginners will enjoy learning the sport, while advanced marksmen can fine-tune their shooting skills.
-
Archery
Try your hand at one of the world’s oldest sports and see how you match up to Robin Hood. Our expert instructors will provide you with all the knowledge you need to hit the target every time.

Nature Trails
The best way to experience the true beauty of Sandy Creek is to take a hike on our 3-mile, “take your time” kind of walking trail set along the banks of a picturesque lake.
Once a working barn, this marvelously restored structure dates back nearly 200 years.
Overlooking a 44-acre stocked lake and two-story boathouse, Sandy Creek Barn at Reynolds Lake Oconee is a magnificent 6,750-square-foot, completely restored wood-beam barn located on 812 acres.
With its picturesque qualities — a gabled roof, exposed hardwood, rugged stone accents, a covered terrace anchored by a stone fireplace and a lakeside firepit — Sandy Creek Barn is an ideal venue for weddings, corporate functions and parties. While a rustic motif prevails, the facility comes with all the conveniences of a modern meeting venue: catering services, an antique saloon bar, a gourmet kitchen, and an outdoor grill and event porch.
