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.

It is winter after all….

Bermuda grass fairways are thin but firm. Greens are fast. Layout is interesting, especially 4 holes out in the marshes. You won’t be bored for sure.

King and Prince GC

We had a Golf Now discounted reservation at 1:36. We got there about 2 hours early to see if we could tee earlier. Hardly anyone was on the course and nobody waiting to tee off, but lady in Pro Shop would not let us go until our regular tee time. I questioned her on reservations of tee times. Very sporadic, but she advised we could not tee until 1:36. Went to hit some balls on driving range and met the cart guy/starter. He said, sure, go ahead and go. Tough course if you haven't played before. Would definitely play some holes different if we play there again. Layout is nice, especially the back nine. Other than unfriendly lady in Pro Shop, was a fun day.

Just in time

Got a gorgeous day on this fantastic track, just before the rain fell & cold weather crept in on 1/21.

Pro shop Staff (Braden) always welcoming and Rick GM was on the front deck greeting folks coming in from the parking lot.

So much to love about the course and staff.

If walking was allowed prior to 2 pm, I would have joined some time ago.
