Become a Member
Want to join the Greenville Gun Club?
The Greenville Gun Club is a members-only facility. You must complete the application process to become a member.
New Membership applications closed for 2024; will resume in mid-Feb 2025. Watch this page or the banner running atop the screen for information closer to mid-Feb when re-opened. Thank you for your interest.
When GGC is accepting new member applications, a link will be presented above for the interested party to click on. The applicant fills in an online application, digitally signs a Waiver form, and pays a $100 non-refundable application fee.
Shortly after processing, the applicant will receive an email to review the Range Safety Rules and a link to take the Range Safety Test. The applicant will have no more than 30 days to take and pass the test. Upon successful passage of the test, GGC will email the applicant dates for the Safety Orientation Class in periodic status emails. It is preferred that the applicant bring their Background Check* documentation to this class.
Once the class has been taken and background check verified, the Safety Director and Secretary will present your application packet to the Board of Directors. If approved, the applicant will receive an email to pay the remaining fees (initiation fee and first year annual dues).
Upon receipt of payment, the Secretary will prepare and mail credentials to the applicant. Upon receipt of credentials, you are an active GGC Member in full standing and can enjoy all of the benefits of being a member. Credentials are typically sent 1-2 weeks after approval and receipt of funds.
Fee Schedule
The Greenville Gun Club charges three fees for all new members.
- Non-refundable application fee ($100)
- One-time initiation fee ($250)
- First Year Annual Dues ($150)*
Application and Initiation Fees are one-time. First Year Annual Dues reflects an amount that is less than the Membership Renewal Fee or Annual Dues. All fee amounts are subject to change.
*Membership Renewal Fee (aka Annual Dues) for renewing members is $225 for 2024 existing members if paid by 12/31/2023; late fees apply after 12/31.
Background Check
Background check documentation can be in the form ONE of these 3:
a) SC CWP;
b) FBI Background check; or,
c) If you are Class I active duty law enforcement officer, we will accept your official credentials.
Must bring your original documentation to class, in person. We do not accept photocopies. The class instructor or Safety Director will review your documentation, with your driver's license or other picture ID just before class. All originals are returned to the applicant, we keep nothing. If there is an issue, we will so advise.
The Greenville Gun Club does not accept any other document. There are no exceptions. We do not accept TSA creds, military clearances, job employment checks, SC SLED checks, pilot licenses, ATF permits, a note from your mom, a note from your doctor, nada. Please don't ask. You must prove that you can possess and use a firearm. These are the only choices we accept.
Notes about:
SC CWP - Takes about 100 days to receive after you attend the CWP class. If you don't have the SC CWP when you apply to us, plan on obtaining a FBI Background check because its quicker and we are not going to wait on your documentation.
FBI Background checks - takes about 3 weeks or less. You will want to use a FBI Channeler service. GGC has used Fieldprint, Inc. (
www.fieldprintusa.com) as having local fingerprint locations to jumpstart the process. It is expected that they can fingerprint you and send in the request for your background check with the FBI.
Important: when saying the purpose for the background check, indicate it is for personal reasons.
Original documentation - Under NO circumstances should you mail, email, or fax a copy of your background information to the club; if a copy is sent, your application will be declined. All background check documentation must be done IN PERSON. If you attend a class without documentations, that's ok...work with us to meet up with you once you have it.
