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.

Excellent Island Course with spectacular views

I make it a point to play this course every year on vacation as it is one of my favorites. Try to get a morning time because the heat and humidity is a challenge. Excellent condition, spectacular views and friendly staff make it a pleasure every time! The pro shop usually has some nice specials on clothing and, if not, it's still worth a buyer's look. Definitely the best course on St. Simon's and one of the best values.

Must Play Here!

Made the trip to King & Prince for the first time and I am upset I waited so long. Dear laying down in the fairways! Course is very challenging and in perfect condition!

Course was nice and in good shape. Saw wildlife throughout the course. I didn’t like that they don’t allow you to hit a driver at the range. I also never saw a cart girl which was surprising considering I teed off at 12:30 and it was the middle of the summer. Got a good deal through GolfNow and would play here again at that same rate but I do not think the course is worth $150 per round.

King and Prince

Challenging course but fun. Greens had just been aerated which was unfortunate for the cost of the round. Fairly empty for a Sunday morning. No real water stations, beverage carts or any amenities for that matter which was surprising for the price/community.

Worth the $$

This golf course is in fantastic shape, with breathtaking views on the back nine. The fairways are plush and everything is manicured to a T. I will be back as soon as possible.

Early Sunday Round

A little overpriced for conditions. Nobody working the neighborhood entrance gate. Had to call K&P resort concierge for gate code. Tee boxes were in rough shape. Should have more consistent distance variations between tee levels, many had blue/black and White/Yellow coupled together making for awkward distances. Front 9 layout is uneventful. Back nine is more aligned with price. Pro shop attendant appeared bothered to ring us up. Saw some good views and couple of gators but wouldn’t pay same rate for this course.

Great course. Great layout. Condition of the course was great. Not really anything I could complain about. Like the guy said….”the front 9 is regular golf. The back 9 is as beautiful as it is challenging.”

Fantastic!

Gorgeous views, greens in great shape, saw lots of wildlife but no gators. Staff was friendly and almost overly accommodating. Hospitality was excellent. Worth every penny.

Always great

Got this round on a hot deal. Thanks to a coupon I got it for less than $70. Best deal in the area. Greens were rolling true. Course was immaculate. Will definitely play again.

Great course, Wrong time of year

Can’t speak highly enough about this course and the staff there! Absolutely beautiful layout, and beautiful scenery. However, the deer flies were so bad, it completely ruined the round. I was there in May and they said the flies are only there for a few weeks. I want to go back once they leave.
