2368 Country Club Dr - Ironclad Golf & Beer Garden 12,721 SF Sports & Entertainment Building Offered For Sale in Hampstead, NC 28443

An Old Country Club Reimagined into a Casual Multi-Entertainment Venue
The founder of Ironclad Brewery met with homeowners of the Belvedere Community in Hampstead, NC in the spring of 2020 to discuss the Belvedere Country Club. The country club had recently closed and the community didn’t want to see a development replace the golf course, as had occurred in other communities. Several of the homeowners were even mowing the golf course property behind their houses.
The property was in extremely poor condition after many years of neglect. The golf course irrigation system was not even operational. Being an engineer who spent a career in the development of large defense systems the founder of Ironclad knew it would take years to revitalize the property. With the input of many people it was decided to purchase the property and begin a phased revitalization effort.
With an outstanding team and years of investment Ironclad Golf & Beer Garden has been revitalized into a multi-purpose sports and entertainment venue with:
1. An 18-hole golf course originally designed by architect Russell Breedon in 1970. The figure eight style course stretches over 6,353 yards. The 5th hole has a view of the inner coastal and ocean. The close proximity to the ocean creates a relaxing breeze throughout the warmer months. The golf course irrigation system was replaced two years ago. For those not familiar with the property there are several videos on YouTube. Search for Ironclad Golf. This link is one example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pSB1Oeu2Dg
2. A large lighted driving range complete with music, outdoor seating, fire tables, and a beer/snack shack creates a fun atmosphere day or night.
3. One of the largest beer gardens in North Carolina. The multi-level outdoor venue can host over 500 guests while still feeling open and comfortable. Enjoy live music, community events, trivia nights, and local favorites like the farmer’s market.
4. Connected directly to the beer garden is a restaurant, Shaka Taco offers fresh food, indoor seating, outdoor patio dining, and service throughout the venue.
5. The former tennis courts have been converted into six lighted pickleball courts for one of the fastest growing sports in the country.
Ironclad Golf & Beer Garden was designed for more than just a round of golf. It’s a venue to enjoy live music with friends and family, community events, food, drinks, or a night on the driving range.
There are seven buildings on the 178-acre property. The list of upgrades to the property would be pages long. To get an understanding of the condition of the property in 2020 please watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6P65FsCtyM
