Maywood Sportsmen's Club

Founded in 1958, Maywood Sportsmen's Club has grown from a handful of hunting and fishing enthusiasts into a thriving 80+ acre facility serving hundreds of members across the Chicago area. The club remains governed by an elected board of working directors who donate their time to maintain the mission: safe, family-friendly outdoor recreation with conservation and education at its core.

The club operates seven trap fields with voice-activated release systems, an ATA-registered shooting program, and a 14-station sporting clays course with varied presentations (hunting, rabbit, chandelle). Members shoot at competitive rates: $5/round for trap, $25 for 50 targets of sporting clays. A full pistol range is available for full members only. Professional lighting enables evening shooting Wednesday and Friday (6:00 PM - 10:00 PM during Oct 1 - Apr 1), plus Sunday 9:30 AM - 2:30 PM year-round.
