About the
Rutland Sportsman’s Club
A private – members only, nonprofit organization, the Rutland Sportsman’s Club, which was incorporated in 1932, holds many events each year that are open to the public. One of the most popular events is the Annual Game Dinner held in the spring. The annual golf tournament, held in the summer, is also extremely popular. The club hosts many events for its members and their families. A few of the events that the Rutland Sportsman’s Club hosts for its members each year – The Kid’s Fishing Derby, A Big Buck / Big Doe Contest, summer long fishing derby, women only shooting events, youth shooting events and more.
Some of the events held throughout the year that are open to the public are the annual 2-day Ice Fishing Derby, seasonal trap and archery programs, MA Hunter Safety Classes, MA LTC/FID classes, MA Boater Safety classes, live music events, meat raffle events and more.
The clubhouse, which consists of the original cottage that was once on the shores of long pond and moved to it’s current site in 1932, plus numerous additions, has a full-service bar that is open for the members daily. 0ther amenities such as a full kitchen, lower level bar area, billiards, darts and other games, a large function hall that is available for use by members and non members for certain functions, outdoor BBQ, horseshoe pits and more.
We also support our local Police Department and allow them access to our indoor pistol range and outdoor rifle/pistol range for training. RSC happily supports all our local first responder agencies, as well as the local scouts, and allows them to use our facilities whenever possible.
The Rutland Sportsman’s Club welcomes prospective new members who are interested in joining the organization. Especially families with children that are interested in furthering our mission as a Sportsman’s Club. Our mission, as an organization, is to pass along the passion and knowledge of sportsmanship to the next generation!
Download a current membership application. A link can be found at the top or bottom of this site. Or stop into the clubhouse to obtain one in person. The current initiation and membership rates are listed on the application. Prospective members must meet the basic requirements listed in the application. All members are requested to volunteer for a few hours at the club each year. This is not hard to do as there are many events held throughout the year. Obtaining 3 sponsor signatures, even if you don’t currently know any club members, isn’t as hard as you might think. Stop into the clubhouse any afternoon, after 3:00 PM and knock on the back door that faces the fishing pond. Explain to whoever answers that you are interested in possibly becoming a member. Meet and talk with a few members. The rest will fall into place.
