Ironclad Golf and Beer Garden (formerly known as Belvedere Country Club) in Hampstead begins along the Intracoastal Waterway and then moves inland towards the clubhouse. The back nine is routed through tall forests that provide a home to grey heron and osprey. The golf course forms a large figure eight, which means you won't find any parallel fairways, but you will also be faced with wind whipping in every direction. The unique layout consists of six par 3s, seven par 4s, and five par 5s that all place a heavier emphasis on accuracy than distance. Many of the greens are elevated and the fairways are lined with trees. The par 3s are some of the most demanding holes due to their small, narrow greens. They are the toughest greens to hit in regulation but luckily if your placement isn't perfect there are still opportunities to save your score.

Very nice course

They have put a lot of work into the course and it shows. The back 9 opened this weekend and it will continue to get better. Overall a fun course to play. Will definitely be back again.

Great for a practice round

I hate to give a bad review but 18 holes was done all on the front nine fairways aren't marked very well grass is in real need of water tea boxes and greens are in rough shape basically paid $15 for a live-action bucket of balls. People were friendly but you couldn't even get a hot dog on the course weird I hope they do well enough to keep making improvements the course needs it

This course could be GREAT.

I loved the layout of this course more than any other I’ve ever played and I’ve played a lot of courses over the years. The holes are extremely fun. But I will say if you don’t hit the fairway you will not find your ball. The ruff/ rough idk how it’s spelled is very thick. And poorly landscaped. There’s thick patches and stumps and so many areas for the golf ball to get under. But this course does have some awesome opportunity. Can’t wait till they are fully finished re vamping this course.
