Greater Houston Sports Club was established in 1959 and sits on 290 acres less than 20 minutes south of downtown Houston at 6700 McHard Road. It is a shotgun sports complex built around clay target disciplines, operated as a member club that also admits guests and hosts open registered tournaments.
Shooting venues include sporting clays (a course of 10-15 stations), skeet (8 positions), 5-stand, trap (25-target rounds across stations one through five) and FITASC (25-target format shot from three pegs, low gun). Carts are used on the sporting clays, FITASC and 5-stand courses; the club permits personal carts but no ATVs or 4-wheelers. The property also includes an event center, a gun care center, a clubhouse and cart barns.
Instruction is provided by independent instructors who teach at the club, including NSCA Level 1 certified instructors, OSP Shooting School, and competitive skeet and sporting clays champions. Lessons are arranged directly with each instructor. Several instructors work with first-time shooters and all ages and skill levels.
The club hosts NSSA skeet and NSCA sporting clays shoots, including the Diamond Classic, Browning Briley Sporting Clays, Buckle Race series, Blue Goose, Best of Texas and the Texas State Skeet Championship. Club events include Clays for Ladies, Bunny Blast, a Club Championship, a Thanksgiving Fun Shoot and a Winter Night League. The club has won NSSA/NSCA All Around Club of the Year multiple times and Texas Club of the Year by TSCA membership.
Memberships come in resident, non-resident, junior, young professional and business forms. The club also offers corporate and personal event hosting with staff planning assistance.
