Choosing the Right Axe Throwing Venue

Axe throwing gets a group laughing quickly, even people who would never sign up for a sport. On the Gold Coast your choice sits between the Surfers Paradise and Southport ends of the coast, and between two quite different styles: a coach-led hit-out with a themed bar attached, or private lanes where games are projected onto the target and scoring runs automatically.

Prices start at $39 per person in Southport and $58 per person in Surfers Paradise. Because the two formats differ, compare the time and coaching you receive for the money rather than the figure on its own.

Ask each venue about these:

Coaching: nervous first-timers need proper instruction before they throw
Lane size: it decides how many people throw together and how long everyone waits
Competition: a tournament or scored game gives a group a reason to keep going
Drinks: venues set their own rules about alcohol around throwing, so check them first
Footwear: closed shoes are a likely requirement, which catches out groups fresh from the beach

It stays dry indoors through summer storms. Further ideas for a big group are on the hens party page.

Surfers Paradise puts you in the nightlife precinct, so a session can lead straight into a night out
Southport has a quieter feel and works well for locals and groups near the Broadwater
If you are staying in Burleigh or Coolangatta, sort out transport early, because the coast is long

Bucks, hens and birthdays

Tell the venue about anyone unsure about throwing, so they can be coached without pressure
Run a simple bracket, as a clear winner gives the session a finish line
Schedule throwing before the big meal and drinks, so everyone has a clear head
Check that all guests meet the minimum age, particularly on a mixed-age birthday

For work groups

Ask for a private lane or area so your team has its own space
Mention anyone with a shoulder or wrist injury, since throwing may not suit them
Ask how the venue deals with people who prefer to watch, and whether they pay
For Christmas functions, get food and throwing times quoted together

Common Questions About Axe Throwing

How much should we allow per thrower on the Gold Coast?

Prices begin at $39 per person in Southport and $58 per person in Surfers Paradise. Ask how long the booking lasts and whether coaching is included, as those shape the real value.

Is throwing axes safe for complete beginners?

Venues expect beginners and teach the technique before anyone throws. Listen to the briefing, follow the lane rules and tell the coach about any injury. Ask about the safety rules when you book.

Can a big bucks group throw together in Surfers Paradise?

Group sizes differ a lot between venues, so give your number up front. Larger groups usually rotate through lanes or compete in teams, and you should ask how long each person will wait between turns.

Does a team of colleagues suit this kind of activity?

Usually, as it is short and easy to learn. Offer a role for anyone who would rather keep score, and let people know in advance about what to wear and what is involved.

What should guests wear to an axe booking on the coast?

Comfortable clothes and closed shoes are the safe assumption, even if your day began at the beach. Confirm the venue's rules and pass them on, so no one is turned away in thongs.
