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.

Beautiful and challenging
Beautiful course, very firendly staff, interesting and challenging layout, green in great condition, and well maintained traps (I was in several). The only reason I gave this 4 instead of 5 stars was the fairways were a bit thin, but that is probably due to using a seasonal grass this time of year.

Fun course to play when in St Simons
First time visiting the area and my wife and played at King and Prince because it was away from the busier areas. Course was fun and layout was great! The staff friendliness was top notch!
It was a pretty chilly day but the course was in great shape.
Will definitely play here again!

Nice resort track
The course is a little overpriced, but it is a "resort"! Pace of play was slightly slow. The fairways were fluffy. The greens were true! Overall I would recommend playing here at least once.

Great Track
I've played this course 4 times over the past 12 months and I always enjoy it! Every hole is memorable, and the layout is very challenging. I especially love the 4 holes on the marsh and the firm/fast greens. Lots of no-see-'ems so bring bug spray, but everyone is real friendly and the turkey club is phenomenal!!
