If you haven’t visited the South Course at Jacksonville Clay Target Sports recently, it’s time to rediscover everything it has to offer. Once known for its intimidating difficulty, the South Course has undergone significant improvements, making it a top-tier option for shooters of all skill levels.
In January 2024, we made an exciting upgrade by adding a second set of machines to the South Course. This means you’ll now find two pairs of machines with varying difficulty levels: Machines A & B match the approachable challenge of the M.C. Bass Electrical Course, while Machines C & D provide a more advanced experience for those looking to sharpen their skills. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned shooter, you can now enjoy shooting side by side with others while tailoring the difficulty to your preference.
These changes are part of our ongoing effort to create a welcoming environment for everyone. Historically, the South Course developed a reputation as “too tough” for most shooters, which deterred many from giving it a try. However, with our recent adjustments, we’re working hard to change that perception. Machines A & B offer a level of challenge similar to what shooters are used to on the M.C. Bass Electrical Course, so you can feel confident and comfortable trying out this course.
There’s another reason to check out the South Course—it’s simply more convenient during peak times. The M.C. Bass Electrical Course can get busy, especially during high-traffic hours, leading to slower pace and backups. The South Course provides a fantastic alternative, offering a refreshing change of scenery and variety without the long wait times.
As an added bonus, the South Course’s open layout makes it an excellent option during Daylight Saving Time. With less tree cover, the course stays well-lit later into the evening, giving you more time to enjoy your rounds before the sun sets.
We invite you to take a fresh look at the South Course and see for yourself why it’s quickly becoming a favorite among our members. Whether you’re looking for a new challenge, a faster-paced experience, or simply a chance to break out of your routine, the South Course is ready to welcome you.
