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.

Marsh challenge

Staff is always very nice and friendly. Course a is always in great shape, I play a tournament with 19 guys for 29 years and we won’t ever change. The layout is great, many different tees to choose from for all levels of golfers, 5 holes out in the marsh always change the round because a little wind always blows out there. The greens are smooth and fast but not too fast you can’t putt them. The fairways are smooth, bunkers are full at sand and easy to play out of. A great place to spend a long weekend and play a couple of rounds because the course changes a little every day. Love it.

Definitely a good value and alternative to Sea Island. Bring only your straight clubs…..it is a narrow course.

Great track & people!

Brandon and his staff are excellent! Everyone is so friendly from meeting you at your car, to starters, rangers, pro shop staff. The course is always in great shape, superb fast greens that roll true. I’ve played here 6 times in November and never had a round longer than 4 hours.

Very good course, pro shop staff could be friendlier

Great value and a well-laid out course and the greens were really in great shape. We were greeted by a couple of staff who were excellent, friendly, affable and very helpful. They helped us with our bags and walked away. I had to run to catch them and tip them for their fine service. After heading to the pro shop, we were met by a female staff member who really seemed indifferent to us or anything really. She took our name and dismissed us to the course without even looking us in the eye. Work with your staff in that area. We'll be back, however, as the course is very nice and we want to try and play when it is a little warmer !
