I’d like to say a big thanks to Jan, the gunsmith at Scottsdale Gun Club. He’s done work on two 1911’s and an old shotgun of mine. The work is always top notch. He’s very professional, explains everything, and delivers it on time at the estimated price or even less. He’s as good as they come.

As a 'tourist' I have been visiting Scottsdale Gun Club for many years. I've always found it to be safe and secure environment, professionally run by well informed and helpful staff. I normally pick up little bits here (oils clothing etc) and as I'm registered here always take the opportunity to shoot on the range. Definitely worth a visit. Whilst safety is paramount it still maintains a family friendly shooting environment, with a variety of firearms to hire

I took my husband here for a graduation present while visiting here on vacation. We was so excited I had never shot a gun and he had experience but wanted to try some new guns. We go in at first very nice and friendly then when we signed up and they seen our last name(middle eastern) BINGO treatment changed very rude and abrupt to us while shooting I felt like I was definately in the wrong place. So after 200 dollars for a hour of stress is the way I would put it. I left there definately displeased in this place and felt bad for my husband because he knew why they had done that. I am a natural born citizen here and he is not but he is a citizen of the USA. I had high expectations of having a blast as a first time shooter and my husband getting to shoot a automatic gun.I was nice to them till the last minute but even when I was handing my gear back to them the practically tore them out of our hands. Shame on you where are your manners. So beware not the friendliest place to visit if your last name isnt western.

We went to the Scottsdale Gun Club as it was listed as an "attraction for tourists", a label that could not be further from the truth. We got to the club at 12:30pm and signed in at the counter to get a lane. We were told the wait for non-members was about 1 to 1.5 hours, and were told to go and wait in a hallway and watch a video. After we watched the video we handed in our waiver forms and were told that our names would be called when it was our turn. People kept walking in and getting lanes ahead of us because they were members, even without a reservation. At 3:15pm, another group of non-members that arrived just before us asked the counter staff how much longer, and were told by a girl working behind the counter that it would be at least another hour. We then went up to ask how much longer it would be for us and were told 20 minutes, which made no snse since we were behind the group that was just told one hour.
The counter staff had no idea what was what going on and treated non-members like second class citizens. There is no waiting area and no organization. Although this gun club may be ok for members, it should not be visited by out of towners. If my gun club back home was run like this they would be out of business.
Needless to say we left without shooting. The rental section was nowhere near as extensive as stated on the website.
Horrible.

Perogies36,
Let me first respond with an apology for your experience at our establishment. We do not wish for our non-members and guests to wait for extended periods of time, nor do we wish for them to feel they are being treated like second-class citizens.
With our apology, we ask that you consider the state that our industry is in at this current time. We have experienced an unprecedented spike in both sales and range usage. This environment that we now operate in is not of our own doing, but is related to current events and possible impending legislation.
If you are still in town, or if you plan on coming back in future years, please contact me at Marketing@SGCGI.com. I would love an opportunity to make things right for you, and to show you that we do care about all of our customers, members or not.
R/S,
Dan D.

I am not from Scottsdale, so it took me three tortured trips to find this place. Even the directions on Mapquest were rough. I finally did arrive at the Scottsdale Gun Club after having to stop for directions a few times.
I noticed the parking lot was packed, so I grabbed my gun bag, ammo and shooting accessories and walked into the place. The outside was quite nice, but the inside was an absolute mess with people walking around everywhere and there was no organization to deal with people that wanted to shoot at the range.
I did notice other women there, which was nice, but none of the staff workers asked me about the services that I had wanted to use.
What does strike the first time visitor is the store that is purposefully set up right at the entrance! In order to go to the indoor range, one has to go through the gift shop first. Finally, a nice woman staff member was nice enough to be honest with me.
Since I wasn't a member, the wait was going to be a half an hour! When you call the Gun Club, nobody answers the phone, and so you get a message, and in the message, they say nothing about the wait for non-members. As I waited, I spotted some of the prices in the Gun Club Store, which you cannot avoid, and I was shocked at some of the prices.
Well, I waited and none of the staff people came to help me, so I left. I made a complete and tortured trip there for nothing. Keep away from this scam place - and especially if you are a non-member.

Thank you for taking interest in Scottsdale Gun Club during your recent visit to Scottsdale. We are very disappointed to hear that your trip here was not up to your standards. We understand that visiting SGC during the holidays can be a bit overwhelming and sometimes frustrating with the amount of people that visit us during that time. We would love to have the opportunity to make it right with you if you find yourself in the area again. If this is something you are interested in, please contact me directly via email: receptionist@sgc-scottsdale.com. We hope to see back at Scottsdale Gun Club in the future.

This is a real nice place! If you can afford it then even have a special private club with members ony lanes and lounge. But for us hardworking regular folks this place is still awesome! Law Enforcement Officers...this is a great place to pick up some gear or a new blue label Glock pistol. They even offer discounts on range time for LE and MIL.

I was a member of the Scottsdale Gun Club but canceled my membership today. In the two months I have been a member I have called on several occasions and not once has anyone answered the phone. I get that they may be shorthanded due to the Covid situation, but I have also not once received a return call even though their automated system asks for a call back phone number. I made a reservation for a gun cleaning class in March and I arrived 1/2 hour early. The instructor never showed up for the class. Even though I have received ZERO service from Scottsdale Gun Club the manager, Mike, refused to give any consideration for the the club's lack of performance and be charged me an early cancel fee. TOTALLY DISSATISFIED WITH THEIR LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM.

I went to Scottsdale Gun Club multiple times, almost every time I was harassed by a youngster employee at the shooting range.
It felt like I was profiled and was treated that way for being an immigrant\foreigner
I will try a different shooting range and will join a club that respect their customers.

Do NOT get a membership unless you plan to have the membership for a full year. They make a big deal out of the month to month membership and say you can cancel at any time. I've been a member for about 5 months and have not gotten any where near out of it what they 'sell' you. So, I called to cancel. He said it would be a $100 cancellation fee. I said they never said that and I wanted to speak to a manager. I was on hold for 10 minutes and then the same man came back on the phone and said I'll send you the cancellation forms and we will charge you the $100 fee and was very rude and wouldn't answer any of my questions about it. This is an extremely dishonest business practice.

Hi I was just wondering about the pricing?
Written August 18, 2019
Sorry, just saw this. I don't have enough experience to say. We rented one lane and two guns and two of us spent about 2 hours there. Total cost was less than $100. We thought that was great fun for two hours. That included all of our purchased ammunition.

Hi!
My husband and I are traveling with our 6 year old daughter so we want to be close to the beach, ideally no more than 5 minute walk away from the beach. Are you an ideal choice for us?
Thank you,
Gema Diaz
