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.

Slow play on a great golf course

We teed off at 1:10PM (earliest Hot Deal available) and could not finish 18 holes due to such slow pace of play. Was dark at 5:30 PM on the 15th hole.

No marshals available or present and slow people had no incentive to move any faster.

Greens were great, fairways in good shape, but didn't get to see hole 16,17, or 18 due to super slow pace of play (4hr 20 minutes for 15 holes).

Slow pace really frustrating and value for money spent not good due to missed 3 holes of play.

King & Prince golf course a royal experience

From the initial meet & greet by Kim in the car park, cart with clubs setup, advice for first time play on the course, conditions of practice area and all 18 holes it was a great experience playing alongside my wife on visit from UK. Hope to play again some day, a top notch experience, we especially enjoyed the holes out on the marsh. Highly recommended if you are on St Simons Island GA

Course was in great condition.

The golf course was in fantastic shape. Fairways were perfect and greens were good as well. It was a windy day so it did make it a bit more difficult, especially on the marsh holes.

Awesome holiday golf

Very friendly greeting in the car park by Kim, made all out pre-game activities very easy. A really good introduction to the property with tips on orientation & what to expect on the course. It is not an entry level golfing option but it surpassed expectations as a golfing opportunity in the Low Country. A great handful of holes situated out in the marsh landscape that made you were glad you were alive.

Nice Layout

This course has great layout. Very fun to play, not super challenging even from the tips. Price is definitely way too high for the quality of the course. The greens are decent but too slow for $150 around. That’s half the price of my monthly dues at a private club where the greens are immaculate. I’d play it again if I could play it for under $100.

Good Afternoon - I am sorry the greens were not up to your expectations. The course had reopened from Hurricane Helene two days prior to your round after being closed and without power for 7 days. I am sure that you would find the greens immaculate now!

Top notch

The layout is phenomenal and the course is in great shape. I had to go back the next day to get another round in. Very affordable considering how well the course is manicured

King & Prince

Very good golf course. Well maintained and difficult from the Blue and Black Tees. Some beautiful holes on the Marsh give you not only great golf holes but also beautiful scenery and lots of wildlife.
