Oak Hollow Farm

West of downtown Fairhope, where the suburban sprawl along Greeno Road gives way to open pasture and pine, Oak Hollow Farm covers more than three hundred acres of rolling Baldwin County land. Best known locally as a wedding and event venue, the farm also opens its land to visitors looking for a different kind of outdoor recreation, including skeet shooting and seasonal pheasant hunting that draw a steady crowd of regulars from around the eastern shore.

Skeet shooting is available by appointment, with a full round of twenty five clays running fifty dollars per person. Equipment is provided for guests who do not own their own shotgun, and experienced shooters are welcome to bring their own gear if they prefer familiar equipment. Because the range operates by appointment only, the farm asks for at least seventy two hours of notice before a visit, which keeps the experience relatively private rather than crowded with unrelated groups.

Pheasant hunting runs seasonally from October through the end of March, and the farm structures the experience as much around hospitality as around the hunt itself. A typical outing starts around midday with lunch before guests head out around 1:30 in the afternoon for the hunt. The pace tends to suit families and groups looking for a relaxed, sociable outdoor day rather than a purely competitive shoot, and group packages are available for parties who want to book the experience together.

Fishing is offered as well, though only as part of a wedding or larger event booking rather than as a standalone activity. The farm’s stocked pond operates on a catch and release basis, and guests need to bring their own equipment, since the farm does not maintain rental tackle on site the way a dedicated fishing operation might.

The farm’s primary business remains hosting weddings and private events, and the same open fields, mature oak trees, and pastoral setting that make it a popular wedding backdrop are what give the skeet shooting and hunting experiences their appeal. Visitors are essentially getting access to a large, well kept piece of private Baldwin County land that would otherwise be off limits, rather than sharing a public range or hunting area with strangers.

Because everything at Oak Hollow runs by appointment, spontaneous drop in visits are not really part of how the farm operates. Anyone interested in a skeet round, a pheasant hunt, or booking the grounds for an event should plan to call ahead and work out timing directly with the farm. For hunters and shooters who live along the eastern shore and want a reliable, well maintained private venue within a short drive of Fairhope, Oak Hollow has become one of the more established options in the area, and its size means it rarely feels crowded even during the busier fall hunting season.

Groups booking a skeet round or pheasant hunt often combine the outing with a meal on the property, since the same event infrastructure built for weddings, tables, catering hookups, and covered gathering space, doubles as a comfortable setup for a hunting party lunch before heading out to the field. That crossover between event venue and sporting destination is part of what makes Oak Hollow feel more substantial than a simple shooting range.

First time visitors unfamiliar with clay shooting or pheasant hunting should not hesitate to ask questions when booking. Staff are used to walking newcomers through gun handling basics, safety expectations, and what to wear, and the farm’s appointment based structure means there is generally time built in for that kind of orientation rather than rushing a first timer straight into a round with a crowd of experienced shooters.
