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).

August 25, 2021 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.

August 14, 2020 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.

Accommodations
While hunting with us you will be staying in one of large beautiful lodges overlooking our lakes. Lodges contain modern kitchen facilities, massive fireplaces, casual and comfortable gathering spaces, WiFi access, large flat screen televisions with DirecTV, and inviting stone firepit spaces. After your hunt kick back and enjoy the views from the patios, decks and firepit seating areas on your private lake. Included are all meals and beverages by our professional farm to table chefs. If you have dietary restrictions let us know and our chefs will ensure that your meals are prepared accordingly.
Making travel as easy as possible
Briarwood Sporting Club goes beyond expectations in every aspect of your hunt, including pick up and drop off service at your local airport via private jet. The Briarwood experience is absent of long drives to the airport, checking in, security lines, flight delays, wondering if your gun will arrive with you, and paying for drinks. Your VIP hunt starts when you climb aboard our own corporate jet with Briarwood owner, Chris Daniels as your pilot. This will give you additional time to discuss the upcoming hunt and laugh about the memories just made on the flight home. We look forward to providing your private transportation, setting the tone for your entire three-day luxury hunt. When you are ready to head home, just let us know and we can be on our way within an hour.

“Being a native Midwesterner, I have always enjoyed being in the woods with Tall oaks and dark green pastures with an autumn leaves scent surrounding me. That has always felt like home. For 3 years running Briarwood has given me a beautiful reminder of what home is like in the fall, which I miss dearly now that I’m in Florida. The hunting experiences I’ve had with my family and friends for those 3 separate weeks are truly vivid in my mind. Each week had its own unique memories that I’ll be able to look back on with pride as I see my trophy whitetails in my man cave! The Daniels’ family has done a fabulous job custom tailoring each hunter/fisherman’s options to best suit them. Never before have I seen such hospitality and attention to detail on such a unique property. I highly recommend this trip to anyone that’s looking to make memories, have fun and learn what it is to hunt world class whitetails and fly fish on beautiful streams.
From the Owners…
“What separates Briarwood is our attention to detail and the relationships we have with our hunters. Our goal is for a hunter to arrive as a client and leave as a friend. How do we make that happen? Details. The little things. From the point of booking, we respond promptly to hunter calls and emails, to the follow up on the back end to ensure that your trophy and meat have been received. Experienced guides, delicious food, beautiful accommodations, and regular interactions with Chris and myself all play a huge role in our operation. We are here daily making sure every detail is in place and our clients have a fantastic time while they’re in camp. For those who want an elite level of service, we offer pick/drop off at your local airport on your schedule via private jet. We take great pride in the Briarwood experience and want each person who visits to know that Chris and I are available at all times.”
-Kristy Daniels, Owner
