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 experience under trying times

The course was in excellent shape despite a few days of heavy rain earlier this week. Carts allowed in the fairway. All health precautions are in place, carts wiped down, foam in holes, no rakes.

Fairways/ greens great shape.

Great value with Golf Now specials. Will end up playing K&P 10 times this month & then head back to Ohio.

Great views

As always the course is in good condition, the weather was great & pace of play was good too. We couldn’t hit any range balls as we were told that the driving range was for members only. We play here about 3 times a year since 1996 & that was the 1st time that we haven’t been allowed to use the driving range. Other than not being able to warm up & hit balls we had a good day..

St. Simons Gem

Thanks to COVID 19, I'm able to get out and play more often and found this course on GolfNow that I have not played before. The course is in fantastic shape with many memorable holes and the friendly staff was great! The practice facility is right next to the first tee with a chipping and putting green so you can get loose and ready to go. The greens were running about 10 and were immaculate! No one in front of us slowing down play or behind us pushing. On the back 9 there are 4 holes out on the marsh with fantastic views! Make sure you bring bug spray for the sand gnats!

Course grew on me

Played the course 3 straight days. Initially I wasn’t overly impressed, but by the end of the 3 days, I had grown to really appreciate the design. The greens are very interesting, always seemed to end up with a downhill or side hill twisting putt. But the greens speed was fair and you could certainly make putts. The highlight of the course are holes 11-15 as you play out into the marsh. Course condition was surprisingly good considering the wet winter.

Beautiful morning

Played alone 1st off. 2 1/2 hour round. Golf course is in great shape. Tees, fairways, bunkers,and greens. The views on holes 3, 11 -15 are extraordinary. I would definitely recommend this course. I’ve played it many time through the years, but presently it is in the best shape I remember. ( I’m from North Georgia where we’ve been playing in mud, so it was a much needed relief from our terrible Winter )

So cool

Every time I play at King and Prince, I have nothing but good to say about it. The layout is interesting, beautiful and challenging. The island could use some rain, but the vistas remain spectacular especially out at the vast marsh holes. The fairways are well mowed and the green are in great shape with many taxing undulations to show skills or frustrations. Highly recommended.
