Ironclad Golf and Beer Garden

Played a round at IronClad Golf recently, and while we weren’t expecting pristine conditions given the offseason, the course still left a lot to be desired. The layout itself is enjoyable—fairly easy with very few blind shots, making it an approachable course for most golfers. However, the overall course conditions were pretty rough. The tee boxes were chewed up, and the greens were an inconsistent mix of different grasses and weeds, which made putting a bit of a guessing game. The bunkers, while fluffy, were actually one of the better-maintained parts of the course, which isn’t saying much.

That said, the real highlight of the experience was the onsite restaurant, Shako Tako. Fantastic food, great atmosphere, and definitely worth a stop whether you're golfing or not.

Bottom line: We were thrilled we didn’t pay full price for our round. If you’re playing here in the offseason, keep expectations low for course conditions, but don’t skip Shako Tako—it’s the best part of the visit!

If you get thru.golfnow at $25 to $30, it is a great value. For my low expectation, I really enjoyed it

One of my favorite places to go. Enjoy the layout of the course and conditions have Greatly improved.

Not a fan of changing the 9's as it doesn't allow good flow and limiting swings to get you ready to play.

I enjoyed the course in my neighborhood with friendly staff and well maintained course

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.
