For the golfers, Bad Axe is home to Verona Hills Golf Club, an 18-hole championship golf course. The golf course features gently rolling greens and wooded terrain. You can also check out Century Oaks Golf Course, Double Eagle Golf, or Ubly Heights Golf-Country Club.
Budding sommeliers will enjoy some of the local wineries and vineyards. One worth noting is Dizzy Daisy Winery, which grows many of the grapes and fruits found in their wines, making it a really wonderful representation of the local varietals.
