SPORTING CLAYS Courses & Fee Structure
 
Whaleback Farm got involved in Sporting Clays early in the history of the sport in this country. After a visit to English shooting grounds in 1979 Bruce Lindsay set about learning course design and the application of shooting Sporting Clay targets for hunters on the preserve to help improve hunters accuracy. Combined with shotgun Wing Shooting lessons there is no better way for hunters to become more accurate and human in the process. The side benefit is that when played like a game of golf in a foursome for fun, It is a great family oriented Sport. Par not high score is the point. Fun social shooting is the purpose at Whaleback. We have beautifully manicured Sporting Clay Courses.
