Founded in 1883 by a group of Dutch sportsmen, Forest City Gun Club is the oldest, continuously-operated shotgun sports club in the United States.
Not only is our heritage long running, the size of our club is as equally impressive given its close proximity to the historic layout of downtown Savannah. Boasting 26 skeet and trap fields, 2 dedicated sporting clays courses, 5 lakes, a covered pavilion, dining hall, registration facility, fully stocked pro shop and bar, the club covers over 500 acres.
