Facility

The Willow River Rod and Gun Club several features and amenities you should be aware of.  The club is open to all members in good standing nearly every day of the year.  Members abide by an honor system that includes treating the property and other club members with respect by observing safe practices.  Here is a list of club features and amenities and instructions for each.

Front Gate:  The Willow River Rod and Gun Club is a private club.  Our goal is to maintain our private status and to do so we ask that members in good standing keep the gate combination confidential.  We also ask that members needing to handle the gate lock, roll the numbers after they are finished so the gate combination is not displayed to anyone else.  It is optional to shut the gate when you enter the club.  We do ask  if you are the last one to leave or may be the last one to leave that you shut and lock the gate.  Individuals who have purposely damaged the gate or the lock will be liable for damages.  If you find the gate broken or the lock broken or missing, please call the club number at (715) 246-4884.  The voice mail will direct you to the Membership Director who will correct the problem.

Club House:   The Willow River Rod and Gun Club has a club house located centrally on club property.  The club house contains the indoor archery range and serves as the meeting place for leagues, board meetings, and events.  Food and beverages can be purchased at the club house.
