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.

Greens had been punched but still rolled well. This layout is FUN!!! The holes in the marsh are so unique and should not be missed

Afternoon Wanderer

Posted on the site in BOLD letters for all to see was an indication the greens had recently been aerated and top dressed. I can't actually rate the greens due to the heavy application of sand but having played this strand of bermuda it would not have changed my score......I can't read them at all, so no birdies on my card. I played with a greatly reduced afternoon rate due to the condition so the value was extraordinary. The course begins with a par 4 slight dogleg to the R, fairway bunkering and at the green not severe but with undulation in the green. The course ends with a simple straight forward shortish par 5. In between you'll find the usual suspects - slightly curving fairways both R & L, reasonably measured par 3s and reachable in 2 par 5s for the longer hitters. This layout is a must play while at Saint Simons as it winds through residential real estate without making one feel confined and the holes in the marsh area are wonderfully framed and presented well for play and photos.

Great time

I really enjoyed my time at King and Prince golf course. The greens were going through aerification, but were still in decent shape. This is the second time I played this course and i enjoyed it even more the second go around!

Beautiful

Absolutely stunning course compared to the courses I play up north. Scared to break out the big sticks on holes with houses close to fairway. The course had so much diversity between the holes, at times it felt like I played two different courses. However, the staff seemed a bit coarse and not very accommodating. I dont need to be told to "The cart needs to be back no later than 7pm" when I have a 1:50 tee time. Pace of play was under 4 hours.

To Hor

The course is great. I however have a heart condition and it was 95 degrees. I spent last weekend in the hospital. We only played 6 holes. They told me in the club house that I couldn’t get a rain check that I would have to contact Golf Now. Please have someone contact me.

Beautiful unique course

Beautiful course with lots of nature and some cool scenery. The course had a lot of unique holes and the marsh holes were unliquidated anything we’ve seen. Amenities were perfect, and there was plenty of coolers around the course to keep us cool on a very hot day

Great experience

We went in and had a problem with golf now, the tee time had been cancelled, but paid for, no refund in our account.

The manager was called to help. He told us do not worry, you will play golf today ! Lets find out what happened. He resolved the issue in minutes and had us playing golf. He made us feel appreciated and welcomed. Overall we had a great time, on a great course. We will be back because of the service we received. Thanks !!

Only thing that was a slight bummer was that the greens were punched recently and rolled slower than normal. Other than that, course played as well as it always does.
