The first phase of the new Sandy Creek Sporting Grounds has opened at Reynolds Lake Oconee. The Sporting Grounds offers a variety of outdoor experiences at the award-winning community which is set on 12,000 acres on Lake Oconee 75 miles east of Atlanta.
Named for the stream that flows into Lake Oconee and shapes the property’s topography, Sandy Creek Sporting Grounds is under the design direction of international shooting champion Justin Jones of Great Britain.
Jones is one of the world’s foremost experts in the development and management of elite resort shooting facilities.
Sandy Creek Sporting Grounds Features

The Sandy Creek Sporting Grounds project is the latest in a multi-million-dollar improvement plan designed to touch nearly every facet of the Reynolds Lake Oconee community and resort.
Sporting Clays Like Golf?
The aesthetic of the 20-station Sporting Clays course is created much like a golf course. The clays course is laid out in a series of stations (holes) with each specifically designed to offer shot variation of length, angle and trajectory.
The track emulates the unpredictable and challenging nature of a classic British shoot, with clays launched at a variety of speeds, trajectories, angles, elevations and distances.
Certified instructors will be available for lessons, and a personal guide will accompany guests through all activities. Shooters on the sporting clays course will traverse the course in a specially-outfitted sporting clays buggy.
