About the Club

The Downers Grove Sportsmen’s Club was chartered in 1950.  Its original location was in Downers Grove Township on approximately 60 acres.  There were two skeet and three trap fields.  The need for expansion resulted in our relocation to our present facility.  The new facility in Morris has a total of 7 Fields (3 Trap Houses Only, 4 Trap and Skeet Houses).  There is a 5 Stand Field, and a new 13 Station Sporting Clay Course.  There are fields with lights, and the club does shoot on Friday nights.  The location also has a club house with a kitchen and a cook during normal business hours.  Throughout the year DGSC has many registered ATA shoots, ATA Targets Only, NSCA, and a wide variety of Club Shoots including monthly 5 Stand/Sporting Clay Shoots, and many leagues.

If your interested in having an event at the club, please fill out a DGSC Usage Form and contact Rick Gibbs.
