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.

Great unique layout!

You get the best of both Spanish moss covered forest and marsh links. It was amazing.

Disappointed

We had a foursome that was pushed all morning. We let a threesome, go through, then a two some, then another threesome. We still finished in 3hours 45 minutes, but the round was spoiled by poor management of the groupings behind us.

My favorite public course in the area

I’ve lived here for almost two years now and have played this course every other week at least since moving here. The staff here is amazing. Rick always treats everyone like an old friend and Braden has remembered my name and had me ready to go before I’ve gotten there for every round. Always in great shape with a layout that no public course can match in the area. I play once a week and have played every course within an hour of the golden isles and there’s a reason I play this course 2-3 time a month.

Poorly managed

Nice course, good condition.

No marshall, got behind a 4 some that knew nothing about golf rules. Drove carts up to the greens on par 3s, they never acknowledged allowing several faster groups to play thru.

No beverage cart on a hot day on what could have been a nice round of resort golf.

Great beach course

We thought the course was in great shape. It had some picturesque beach course views with some challenging holes. Pace of play was a little slower than I prefer, but I enjoyed the round just the same.

King & Prince

Played this course on a weekend getaway before school started with my son. The greens must had recently been punched and were still growing back in, this cost Us a few strokes on the greens but did not stop us from enjoying this lovely course. Course layout was superb and the fairways were immaculate. Once the greens grow back in to mint condition this course will be awesome! Was not too long from the tips and was challenging and many great risk/reward holes. Love the scenery of the holes around the marsh and everything about this course. I will definitely come back and play it again when I visit Saint Simons Island.

Big Day during Vacay!

What a wonderful 4 hours! My wife rode & enjoyed the scenery while I enjoyed a stress-free round on this wonderful course. It started with a delicious lunch in the restaurant and ended with a birdie!

Fun course. Great condition. Fast pace

Overall a fun time. I teed off very early 7:44am so the pace of play was fine. We played through some gentlemen. Staff was light at the clubhouse that early. Drinking Water was on the course. Overal I wasn’t terribly impressed with the clubhouse and amenities for the price. I can play for the same price and get much better service, cooler, free water bottles, towels. What I did like was the course. The first few holes seemed bland but then all of the sudden it got tricky and fun. The course was in great shape and there’s lots of shade. I’m booking again tomorrow just for that.
