If you are a little on the hesitant side to be throwing an axe for the first time, Madd Hatcher’s has what they like to call “axe-perts” on hand to help. These are throwing professionals that will guide and teach you how to throw the axe safely and properly. Inside is a great atmosphere and they even serve food and drinks! This local business is also veteran-owned and they definitely have given it a nice feel on the inside. While you and your date are competing, feel free to grab an ice-cold beer or a snack from the bar! You are guaranteed to have a great night!

Sailfish Sands Hitting Bays
An evening spent at Sailfish Sands Golf Course in Stuart is guaranteed to impress any date. Martin County doesn’t have any of those big chain golf facilities, like Big Shots or Top Golf, so visitors were extremely excited when Sailfish Sands opened and debuted their high-tech hitting bays. It’s like a mini drive shack, but with state-of-the-art technology, incredible vibes, and without all the crowds. Not only can you battle your date in different golfing games, but they also offer a full menu and bar. The food is delicious and the drinks are great too, ranging from beer and wine to specialty drinks and seltzers (only for the 21+ crowd). Or enjoy the full sit-down dinner experience at the Sailfish Sands Restaurant, then head over to the hitting bays as a post-dinner activity. Either way, you can’t go wrong!
