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.

Beware the deer flies!

Almost unplayable because of the deer flies swarming us. Starter/cart guys at least warned us to buy bug spray ($15)if we didn’t have any. Despite multiple interactions with the deal and cart staff no one told us it was cart path only, which slowed things down considerably and led to walking through the deer flies more.

Course layout is awesome and conditions were really good considering it was wet. Didn’t get to finish the round before the rain since it took so long walking back and forth across fairways.

Definitely not worth the price with the flies, we almost quit after three holes.

Beware the deer flies

Deer flies were insane. Swarms of them any time you leave the fairway. Luckily the starter warned us to buy bug spray.

Course was cart path only and no one on the pro shop or starter or cart staff told us.

Awesome course with caveats

The facilities, layout, views, and conditions were fantastic. However, the flies or gnats whatever they are were literally unbearable. No one mentioned this to us, nor do I see any reviews here talking about it. It made the round miserable in all honesty, which is a bummer because the course and views along the marsh were fantastic.

A solid layout and test.

Have played here many times over the years. My wife has been playing for only 4 years and asks to play K&P every time we come to St. Simons. Makes it more enjoyable for me. She loves the fact that there are no forced carries for the women, and as I’ve gotten older and changed tees, my forced carries are appropriate. Lots of fun.

Holes 12-15 are unreal!

Beautiful course, very fun round. Saw plenty of wildlife running around the course, always fun. Signature holes 12-15 did not disappoint, so beautiful. Just had to stop and take it in at a few spots. Greens were receptive and QUICK. Awesome staff too

King and Prince 4/16/24

Got 330pm hot deal for $66. That’s fantastic value. Tee boxes, fairways, and traps in very good shape. Greens smooth but the locations for the old cups are not level. Super nice staff. Highly recommend.

Overall a fine course

The course is fair with multiple tee options. It winds through a residential area with some longer spacing between holes. There is a range to allow you to warm up prior to your round. The pace on my day was average - not bad but not the best I've played.

Marsh Mellow

Loved playing K&P. Played with my son on a beautiful spring day. Course conditioning was very good from tee box to green. Layout has lots of short par 4s, a few short par 5s, but the aesthetic highlight is clearly the back 9 and the marsh holes. Course was busy but pace was fine, well under 4 hours. Not overly hard, but still fun—just what you want for vacation golf.

Beautiful layout, greens rolled true and fast, Staff was excellent, they allowed my daughter to ride along as well.
