Ironclad Golf and Beer Garden

Decent course, nice track! Staff is awesome … makes it worthwhile!

The fairways are good as are most of the greens.

They are continuing to remove much of the hard surfaced cart paths with a crushed limestone mix which makes it much smoother now and will be easier to maintain.

The management continues to improve this course.

Tee boxes were in bad shape and not level. Pin placement on one hole was ridiculous. I wanna say it was hole 16. The cup was placed on an uneven part of the top of the putting green. So if you missed the put by an inch, the ball would roll down 10 feet. Might as well put a windmill in front of it. The fairways were unkept and had a ton of ditches and areas with no grass. If you’re charging $45 for a round, it should be in better shape. I shouldn’t be off balanced when teeing off

It's a nice course for the price. The staff isn't that friendly and I feel like you should be told if they're going to pair you with someone.

It’s the classic - “it’s a great layout, but it needs some TLC”. The started shack is in the driving range shack. The woman was very friendly. The carts are gas, no GPS. They’re fine, no sputtering or backfires. The course is a tale of two nines. The front is pretty straight forward. The back has a lot of doglegs. It feels like it plays longer because of them. The greens were a bit choppy, but I could play around it. The fairways were hit or miss. Nothing atrocious, but you knew you weren’t playing the Ritz. The bunkers were fine. You could see some were removed for pace of play. Only a few holes had water come into play. The greens were also hit or miss. The fronts were better than the back. Some disease, though in my case it didn’t come into play that much. All in all you get what you pay for. I think l paid about $30, and l got a $30 course. No complaints. I would recommend it.

I play this course one or two times a month and have watched as IC has continued to improve the course…and t they have plans to continue the improvements.

Wednesday the course was in good playing condition. The tee boxes need improvement but a rebuild is planned.

Pace of play was much better than our last lap around the course.

The course is really starting to come along with a lot of hard work from the staff. One thing,as you are getting more and more play you should start thinking about using a mashal as the foursome in front of us was taking way too long, looking for balls, not knowing how to keep play moving as I'm guessing the average stroke per hole was somewhere around 12.

I enjoy playing here, the course keeps improving. Look forward for the next visit. Ironclad has suck a good vibe.

Tee boxes were rough , course needed some work ,greens were beat up.

We were looking for something close to North Topsail Beach on our way to a rental property. The Shaka Taco was not only good food after a several hours drive,. but had a great family atmosphere for kids, parents & golfers! The course is an old Carolina layout that needs a little maturing with all the effort the crew has been putting into it. We had a good time!

We'll be back!!

Tee boxes were a mess. Lot of repairs and minor construction in progress . Was hoping it would be on better shape . Work still progress.
