The King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort
About
The King & Prince Golf Course winds through the mature forests and vast salt marshes that are located along the northern coast of St. Simon's Island. The beautifully preserved surroundings offer a glimpse of the native wildlife, which includes ospreys, woodpeckers, and bald eagles. The course offers stunning coastal scenery and a challenging layout. The layout features a more open front nine with more sand while the back nine is characterized by the golf course's trademarks, four island holes that were carved from small coastal marsh island and accessed by elevated cart bridges. Numerous marshes and the vast Butler Lake make an appearance on seven holes. Golfers can warm up before a round on the expansive putting and chipping greens or the driving range, which is equipped with five target greens.

Layout
The course was in amazing shape but if you are a golfer who enjoys hitting the ball over 250 off the tee you will not find that opportunity here. The course is EXTREMELY tight off of the tee and has overhanging tree limbs. Basically the only option off the tee is a low straight tee ball, no high cut or draws. There were many holes I had to hit hybrid of the tee and then hit a long iron because of sharp doglegs at ~240/250 yards. Greens were immaculate and course was beautiful, just not my type of course.
Beautiful Back Nine
I'm a 21 handicap and the front was moderately easy from the white tees. Some bunkers but only one water hole. The back is beautiful with several holes on the marsh and others with water...and the wind picked up significantly. Much prettier and harder back
Scenic
The course was beautiful. Loved all the water and bridges across the marsh. Just gorgeous!
Always a pleasure
It's always a pleasure to play here. Seeing little gators, playing the marsh. The course is very well maintained. The Pro Shop offers interesting items.
Nice Course , Slow Pace
Unfortunately, the group ahead played from the black tees but did not have the skill to do so. They required more shots than those who should play from the.black tees to complete each hole. There were four in the group and the pace was very slow.
Great track. Could use a marshall to move people along
One of my favourites. Pace of play was okay but could have been better. No marshals on the course.
Back 9 is beautiful. Gnats are bad though near the marsh. Clubhouse closes early. Post round beer on the patio would be nice but it was closed.
I was paired with a nice gentlemen. We had a nice round of golf. Day was perfect. Its a little expensive, but with gold pass i got a good rare:
Personal Best Greens Outt Well
Can't complain about a course that partners with me for my best gross and Net round in 40 years. Bar was terrible slow as they seem to have no clue.
Hot deal value was awesome
The course was definitely one of the nicer public courses we have played. We especially loved the back nine - the holes were interesting to play and the vistas were fantastic There was a nice driving range but you could only use your irons. The putting area was located adjacent to the range and the first tee was almost adjacent to the practice facilities. We would certainly go back there!
