For the third time, Greystone Castle Sporting Club, in Mingus, has been recognized as the Orvis Wingshooting Lodge of the Year in 2022.
In its announcement, Orvis praised the facility that previously received the award in 2015 and 2011.
“The staff is courteous and no request is ignored, too big, or too small. The food is exceptional. The facilities are clean, up-to-date, and well-appointed. Hunting is some of the best in the industry. Abundant hard-flying birds over beautiful and forgiving terrain. Most importantly, the dog work and the knowledge and conduct of the handlers are simply unrivaled,” Orvis said in its announcement.
“What appeals to all visitors at Greystone are its top-of-the-line accommodations and gourmet meals. There are five elegantly decorated suites capable of hosting more than 30 guests, a dining room complete with a full-time executive chef, spacious conference facilities, a swimming pool with hot tub, and just outside the castle walls, a scenic lookout affords a breathtaking vista of the entire estate.”
Greystone offers options for all hunters and fishermen. According to the lodge, large fields of sorghum, millet, and switchgrass bring memories of great gun dogs, flushing pheasants, bobwhite covey rises, and days in the field with friends. For the big game hunter, it’s 6,000 acres that offer some of the best whitetail hunting in the country and over 40 species of exotic game. For the clay shooter, it’s the great sporting clays and pyramid 5-stand courses that will test the best of shooters. And for the avid angler, their trophy bass lakes present year-round opportunities for tight lines on largemouth and hybrid stripers.
“Long-term habitat improvement and wildlife management have made Greystone an extraordinary hunting venue,” Orvis reported. “This coupled with the unique castle facility and outstanding customer service makes Greystone Castle a destination without equal.”
