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.

Played as a single for the first 11 holes until another single joined me, so pace was sluggish. Great course! Loved the greens!

Need a Marshall
Two slow groups held up the course, and no staff to make them move. We ended up skipping a couple holes to get ahead of slow play. Probably will not return

Can’t beat it
After playing almost every course around in a bit of a golf haven in northern St. John’s county I can comfortably say this course is in my top 5 tracks. The starter/cart guy was super friendly and even the greens keepers were helpful when we stopped to make small talk. The course got a lot of rain the day before and we had almost zero issues with it being wet. It’s a gorgeous place to play with very unique holes. Can’t wait to get back.
