First time throwing axes? Here’s how it works
What to expect at the WATL axe throwing lanes at Dirty Birdie in Monroe, MI: waiver, shoes, safety, scoring, and $15 per person per hour.
Never thrown an axe before? Good. Most people who walk into our lanes haven’t. No experience needed.
Here’s what a first visit to the axe lanes at Dirty Birdie Golf in the Mall of Monroe looks like.
Before you come
- Bring a signed waiver. Every thrower needs one. Download the waiver (PDF) and fill it out at home.
- Wear closed-toe shoes. No open-toed shoes on the lanes.
- Ages 16 and up can throw. Younger friends can watch — spectators are welcome.
When you get here
Check in at the main counter. Our staff go over the safety rules and how scoring works before anyone throws. We follow World Axe Throwing League (WATL) rules, so you’re throwing at a real target with clear rules.
Then it’s your turn. Step up, throw, and aim for the bullseye. Each group keeps its own score, so it’s easy to start a little friendly competition.
A few lane rules
- Always listen to the staff.
- Never walk into a lane when someone else is throwing.
- Have your own axe? Bring it, as long as it stays in a case until you throw and meets WATL rules.
What it costs
$15 per person per hour — same price any day, any time. Groups of 2–6 per lane. Got a bigger crew? Call 734-621-4810 and talk to a manager.
Want to mix it up? Book a TrackMan golf bay too ($40/hour per bay, up to 8 players) and grab food and drinks from the 19th Hole between throws.
