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.

When I played this course I had a hot deal which was reasonably priced as a hot deal but I would not be very satisfied to pay the full price for this course at $135. I played many courses in South Carolina and Georgia Heading to Florida this past month and those courses were just as good conditions in jest as good layout and even better than this course for a third of the price. Being greeted in the clubhouse by a snotty woman behind the counter is not the best way to start your golf round. I got there an hour early for a 2 tea time and she said I can't go out until 2 cuz it's very busy so I went to the putting green and 45 minutes later not one person had teed off so I went over and teed off and the next person that showed up behind me was 4 holes behind. I do not recommend this course

Well, did you PAY the 'full price' as you indicated on your review? Do you pay to have someone be nice to you or to play an awesome course?
