Rooted in the Land

For three generations, the Goetzka family has farmed this land, raised livestock, and built their lives here. The original barn, constructed in the early 1900s, once provided shelter for the farm’s horses and cattle. In later years, it became home to thousands of pheasants.

The historic barn still stands on the property today, serving as a lasting reminder of the land’s agricultural roots and the generations who cared for it.

From Hand-Thrown Targets to a Premier Course

Scott began offering sporting clays in 1990. In those early days, Scott or one of his employees would walk the course and operate the hand throwers so guests could shoot.

What began as a simple, hands-on experience has grown into a modern sporting clays facility with 24 stations and automatic target throwers. Although the equipment and course have evolved, the focus on providing an enjoyable and welcoming outdoor experience has remained the same.

A Family Tradition That
Continues to Grow

Three generations of Goetzkas have farmed this land, raised animals, and raised their families here. Much has changed over the years, but the family’s love for the outdoors and the strong work ethic learned through farming have never faded.

Today, the family is proud of how the business has grown. Woods & Meadow is supported by three full-time employees, one part-time employee, and a dedicated group of friends and family members who lend a hand during events and throughout the year. Together, they continue building upon the property’s history while creating new traditions for future generations.
