Activities & Facilities




Our club was established in 1934 and consists of 95 acres of land located right on the St. Joseph River. We have approximately 400 club members. Membership costs $130.00 per year for a Family Membership that allows the members to use all of the club facilities. This includes archery, muzzle loader, pistol, rifle, skeet and voice activated trap ranges. Trout and salmon fishing on one of the top trout streams in the nation and camping in our 25 site campground. In the winter we simply move indoors where we shoot archery, pistols and junior rifles. In addition to this, we also work with the Michigan DNR to raise 38,000 Chinook salmon and 24,000 Steelhead trout in our rearing ponds for release into the river each spring. This results in a very high return rate of these fish to the release site each year.

The Club is affiliated with Michigan Bow hunters, MUCC and the NRA. We teach the Michigan DNR Hunter Safety, Michiga DNR Safe Boating, Personal Protection, and CCW classes. Also Boy Scouts of America, Pheasants Forever, Michigan Trophy Toms, Michigan Steelheaders, the Marines Toys for Tots, Schutzhund dog obedience and many more.

Our nearest towns of any size (St. Joseph / Benton Harbor) are approximately 8 miles north of the Club. There is a pre-1840 Courthouse museum in Berrien Springs that is 3 miles south of the Club. We have two local wineries within a 10 -mile radius. We are located 10 miles from Lake Michigan and 40 miles from South Bend, Indiana. Other attractions in our area include the House of David Museum in Benton Harbor, Curious Kids Museum in St. Joseph, Fort Springs, Sarrett Nature Center in Benton Harbor, Fernwood Nature Center in Buchanan and Warren Dunes State Park in Bridgman. Near by shopping and restaurants are available at the Orchards Shopping Mall complex, which includes a 12-screen movie theater.

If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions please feel free to contact us.
