WELCOME TO BRIARWOOD SPORTING CLUB

For over 40 years Briarwood Sporting Club has been a “slice of wilderness” in central Ohio, embracing a relaxed and casual atmosphere of soothing freshwater amid breathtaking vistas. Briarwood features a majestic landmass covered with numerous lakes and trout streams, filled to the brim with trophy whitetails. The gorgeous hardwoods and meadows present a natural habitat that is mixed with sporadic food plots and wildlife openings. First-class service, accommodations, lodging, lakes, streams, food, fishing, and hunting all come together to form an unforgettable experience.

At its start in 1977, Briarwood quickly became renowned for it's members-only private Ohio fishing club. Sixteen lakes are stocked with world-class Small and Largemouth Bass, Bluegill, Walleye, Perch, Tiger Muskie, and Hybrid Striped Bass, while our spring-fed streams are regularly stocked with Brown, Brook, Golden, Blue, and Rainbow trout.

Over the years, Briarwood has become an elite destination for both estate and open range whitetail hunts. Briarwood has compiled the industry's best genetics, providing our clients with opportunities to harvest the largest whitetails in the world. On our guided whitetail deer hunts, one can expect to see several whitetails in excess of 200″ and have the opportunity to harvest the “Buck of a Lifetime.”

Briarwood also offers open range whitetail hunts throughout Logan County, Ohio. Our open range properties are meticulously scouted and prepared to allow the hunter the best opportunity to harvest a mature Ohio whitetail.

Whether it's fishing or hunting, Briarwood Sporting Club is your destination for an experience of a lifetime!

HERE'S WHAT GUESTS AND MEMBERS HAVE TO SAY

"After 62 years of hunting deer, I have finally found deer heaven. I booked a hunt for October so I could get my own to experience something other than our normal Maryland & Pennsylvania expeditions. I was successful with, at the time, the best and biggest whitetail I had ever taken. He didn’t shoot. Based on the quality of the deer we had seen we booked another hunt for the following November. This time we were both successful, remarkably successful! But that’s only part of the Briarwood tale! The personnel were the main ingredients to making a hunting trip to a new venue an unforgettable adventure. Thanks to Mike, and Chris for this opportunity. We will return. If you haven’t tried it, do it!"

Wendell, Maryland

"This is the second year that our family started getting together at the holidays. Pine Lake Lodge more than exceeded our expectations as far as size and accommodations. We had a great time and look forward to coming back in the future."

The Dawson Family

"Wonderful family weekend! Skiing, tubing, food, football, family games. Treasured memories for all. Already planning for next year."

Steve W., Ohio

'We had a great time. Fished the ponds, lakes, streams. Caught bass, bluegill, perch, and got 9 trout. Ate smoked trout for the first time. Had a great deer meal with Chris and Kristy. Homemade ice cream & strawberry shortcake. Great time!"

John B.

"We really love it here at Briarwood. We have spent numerous weekends, Christmas and our 30th wedding anniversary with numerous family friends here. This weekend we are here once again with friends from high school and college. The fishing has been wonderful and the weather beautiful. The autumn colors are beautiful especially when reflecting on the blues. Already planning our next visit!"

Happy Guest

"It is the adventures in life which make it worth living, and what a great adventure I’ve had hunting here at Briarwood Sporting Club! Thank you very much and I’ll see you again somewhere down the hunting trail!"

Jeff C., Nebraska

"Few words can express the realness of this experience. We had a great time getting to know nature and amenities of this magnificent haven. This heaven away from the city makes you appreciate life even more. God Bless."

"It is becoming a tradition that we spend a couple days during Spring Break here at Briarwood. The boys love it - and this cabin is our favorite, although we go back and forth. The Briarwood cabin and Rainbow have their great qualities as well. The view in the morning makes me forget, reflect and relax. Oh, and the fishing is good too!"

The Welsh Family

"We had some friends here to celebrate our birthday’s with us. It was relaxing for everyone on a Sunday afternoon. One of our friends had beginners luck as a fisherman and he didn’t want to go home! The lodge was so private and so well equipped. Our stay was perfect. Thanks!"

Mueller Family

"Crunch of the Autumn leaves. Sights and smells of Earth beginning her seasonal slumber. Hearing, feeling and then watching breezes bend the tree limbs and sway waters edge cottontails. We shared great vistas, meals, fishing, and experiences together. Lots of laughter over the tales told and card games played. Our hearts are full and senses brimming with delight! Thanks everyone!"

Cara

"Traveled from the state of Washington to experience the beauty of Briarwood. This is an incredible estate, anyone’s paradise. Had the great experience to harvest a mature Whitetail buck. Great food and awesome people. Looking forward to a return trip."

Richard, Washington

"Came from Michigan, had an amazing time! My uncle and I each harvested great bucks, and had fun watching more bucks in the woods than we ever thought possible. Thanks for a great time! PS…240 yards. Long shot!"

Happy Guest

"This is one of those destinations where you don’t know where to start to explain the experience. It was a wonderful time, hunt & stay. The staff and the property are top shelf! I’ll be back!"

RC, Washington

"This has been a terrific week! Can’t say enough about the staff, accommodations, and amazing bucks! My thanks to all of you for such a fine week of hunting and for your attention to detail! Warm regards."

Keith, Flint, MI

"Briarwood is a little slice of heaven! We had an exceptional time. The owner Chris, our guide Mike, and everyone else truly made this an experience of a lifetime! We’ve seen the largest deer of our lifetime and our grandson got his deer of a lifetime named “Josie Whales”. Looking forward to our next visit!"

Jimmy, Texas

"What an awesome weekend! We brought our grandsons to join us for a weekend at Briarwood Lodge. The expressions on their faces when walking in the door were priceless. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery and warm, cozy fires by the huge fireplace….s'mores, popcorn and Hershey bars for snacks after a long day of fishing. The weather was chilly but our hearts were warm. We taught them to fly fish this weekend. What a great memorable weekend!"

I cannot say enough about how wonderful my recent trip to Briarwood was. From the food and lodging to the guides and staff, everything and everybody was top notch. My guide Brennan was knowledgeable and professional and the owners Chris and Kristy were very accommodating. The whole Briarwood experience is one I will remember forever. I would not hesitate to recommend Briarwood to anybody. I can't wait to come back next year! If you are thinking about booking a trip, you owe it to yourself to make it happen!

We spent a few days at Briarwood and stayed in the Rainbow Lodge. Great facility for relaxation and entertaining. We really enjoyed the deck view looking out over the water. The fishing was great as always. I highly recommend Briarwood lodging and fishing.

My entire family recently had an opportunity to stay at the Rainbow Lodge . We had a total of 12 people all together. The property was beautiful and the fish were plentiful (we had a trout and catfish dinner one night). The staff was helpful, responsive, and made the experience top notch. The owners have truly created a special place. We had a great time and made many family memories that will last a lifetime. The family consensus was that this needs to be our new MO for family vacations (as opposed to the beach or the “magic” in Orlando).

  I just feel compelled to write yet another review for Briarwood Sporting Club. I have hunted there 3 times and I am going again this fall. So many outfitters advertise they provide the “experience of a lifetime.” While may do deliver a great hunting experience, Briarwood is truly and exceptional hunting experience. I have been hunting Whitetails for nearly 50 years and Briarwood is just magical. I have never experienced anything similar. From the time you arrive to long after your hunt, you know you have experienced something very very special and your heart longs to return. If you are considering Briarwood for your next deer hunting experience, I hope my review will be the nudge you need to schedule your hunt that will truly be an “experience of a lifetime.” Chris Daniels and his team are simply amazing. Not only are they great people, they are all exceptional hunters. I can’t wait for fall so I can get back to Briarwood. If you would like to talk to me about my experiences at Briarwood, please feel free to call me at 816-914-2124. I love to talk hunting.

  Briarwood Sporting Club is a very special place. I just love hunting there. Everyone is so friendly and accommodating. The property is so beautiful and well designed. They continue to invest in enhancements to what is already an amazing facility. The quality of the deer is beyond belief. Briarwood is so much more than huge bucks. It’s the total experience of being in the field and sharing the love of hunting with likeminded sportsman. I just returned from my second visit with my son and we have already paid our deposits for a third visit. Many hunting outfitters will claim they provide the “opportunity of a lifetime” and they work hard for their clients. At Briarwood, it really is an experience of a lifetime. Our guides, Jeff and Dane, are true professionals and have become good friends. Thank you Chris and Kristy Daniels for your attention to detail and for creating such a remarkable place. My son and I will hunt Briarwood many times over. If you are considering Briarwood and need additional information or just have questions, please feel free to give me a call. I would love to field your questions and tell you more about Briarwood. My cell is 816-914-2124.
