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.

Perfect Day!

Sunny, 70 degrees, course was in very good shape, and the pace of play was good. This shaped up to be an absolutely PERFECT day of golf. Thanks to Rick and his crew for all you do.

Great course and great staff.

I play here 3-4 times a month and always enjoy it. By far my favorite public course in the area. Layout is scenic and challenging.

The staff here is amazing. They’re friendly and make every feel at home. The week prior I accidentally left my sand wedge on the course. When I arrived this week the staff and I looked through the lost and found clubs but did not find it immediately. The young lady in the clubhouse did not quit once I started my round though. She found it and drove it out to me on the course, made my day.

Best public on island

Go to course on the island. Sea Palms for some reason thinks they can price higher than K&P which I do not mind at all!

Get new staff

The course itself is awesome. I’ve played here several times and love the actual course.

The staff however, is always rude. All 5 times I’ve played here, the staff in the pro shop treats you like crap.

For the players- the course is nice but expect to be treated like crap.

For the course- fire the staff in the pro shop and rehire.

Until then, I probably won’t return.

I've experienced that as well in the past- some really rude people working the register. However, this has changed and the people there now are so friendly and accommodating... I've played here several times and today (5/10), has definitely changed my opinion on the professionalism and friendliness of staff.

Skip Sea Palms play here

Priced fair and beautiful layout. Greens in pretty good shape. A lot more to look at than sea palms for a fraction the price. Big oaks full of Spanish moss. Challenging but fair.

A must play course

The King and Prince course is outstanding! The fairways were like carpet and the greens were excellent. It is hard to believe that the course would be this good in the middle of December.

Beautiful Course on a Beautiful Day

My GF and I were able to purchase a Hot Deal on Golf Now so got a great rate. The course was gorgeous and in great shape. The back nine especially has incredible views. The weather could not have been better.. Staff was very friendly.
