The SendingStone review

The Iron Golem is an incredibly tough enemy with high AC and immunity to a variety of conditions. Its high CON and resistance to non-magical weapons make it even more formidable in combat. However, its low DEX and lack of mobility can be exploited by quick and ranged attackers. Overall, the Iron Golem is a challenging opponent for seasoned adventurers but can be defeated with strategic planning and effective teamwork.
