Tampa Bay Sporting Clays

Tampa Bay Sporting Clays is an outdoor sporting clays range in Land O' Lakes, FL, with courses laid out in the woods and reached on foot or by golf cart. One visitor calls it "golfing with a shotgun", and another says it is where golf and shooting clays meet.

The layout gets plenty of attention from reviewers. One reviewer counts 8 sporting clays courses, each with 7 stations, running from easy to hard, and another says each course has 7 stations, though a more recent reviewer estimates 6 or 7 courses, maybe more, with 6 or 7 stations each. The first of these reviewers also describes a skeet field, an elevated and covered platform called Crazy Clays with launchers beyond it, and an Olympic bunker, while a third reviewer says the grounds have an International Trap field. A first-timer tried the beginner course and says there are more courses of increasing difficulty. Archery is also on the property, and three reviewers mention it.

Reviewers mention gun rentals: one reviewer lists rental guns, ammunition for sale and memberships among the amenities, another says shotguns and golf carts can both be rented, and one reviewer recommends the semi-automatic rental shotguns for less recoil than a cheap shotgun brought from home. A different reviewer was unhappy with the rental shotguns, saying they need to be gone through. Instructors work with first-timers on how to hold the shotgun and move with it, and one reviewer mentions eye and ear protection and free coffee.

The grounds are also used for group outings. Reviewers mention team-building events, fundraisers, a charity tournament and work outings, and one reviewer describes three covered pavilions with picnic tables for events, tournaments and classes. For sporting clays near Land O' Lakes, FL, reviewers describe a day outdoors on the sporting clays courses, with guns and golf carts both available to rent.
