Located in the South Carolina Lowcountry between Charleston, Savannah, and Beaufort, the facility sits on land directly adjacent to the Port Royal Sound with access to the Atlantic Ocean. The 5,500-acre plantation keeps 94% of its land undeveloped, creating a peaceful coastal environment for shooting sports.
The Gun Club is part of an integrated sporting community that also includes hunting fields, a golf course, equestrian center, fishing access, and dining facilities on-site.
Founded by Sumner Pingree, a lifelong outdoorsman and land steward, Brays Island was designed as America's premier sporting community. The plantation combines world-class hunting and shooting facilities with residential living, golf, equestrian activities, and fishing. The property spans pristine Lowcountry terrain with tidal rivers, saltwater ponds, and direct ocean access.
The Gun Club attracts owners from across the country and beyond who want access to top-tier clay target courses, rifle and pistol ranges, and hunting preparation facilities in an unspoiled coastal setting.
