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 course

I thought it was a great course with a good variety of holes. The back nine has a lot of holes on the marsh and was very pretty. I would definitely play it again.

Gorgeous Course

King & Prince is a splendid course, beautifully maintained around the year. In the very hot months there is plenty of shade available at tees and greens. The bunkers hold fresh sand and the greens are carefully manicured. The marsh holes are stunning and challenging. There is wild life everywhere. This is my favorite course on St. Simons Island.

Great value, surprising private course exp. on public course

I was very pleasantly surprised by this course. I’m from the Midwest, and I am used to overpaying for golf courses when I vacation in the South - either paying $250 for an $85 course, or paying $85 for a goat ranch muni-level track. But this course delivers great value for under $100. Plenty challenging, lots of interesting holes, some of which are strikingly beautiful (3 and 11-15 esp.). The course was in very good condition as well - perfect fairways, consistent greens. The few complaints I saw about this course on this site were about insects, which made me nervous - but I didn’t see one horsefly and there were zero issues. We saw deer, rabbits, a couple gators and some beautiful birds. I hooked up with another single and we played in a little over 3 hours. I rarely visit the same course in a new area twice, but I liked this course so much for the money - and didn’t see anything else local that looked as appealing - that I’m playing it again tomorrow. I highly recommend this track.

A Must Play

It is a bit far for me to drive from Savannah but the course is well worth it. Love the layout and scenery is amazing. Course was in great shape always seems to be in great shape when ever I decide to play. Greens where spongey which was nice change of pace from some of Hilton head courses. Fairways and tee box where in great shape as well. If you are in area or can make the drive it is defiantly a course you should play.

Nice course. Great staff!

The course was in great shape overall. A couple of tee boxes were a little rough.

The staff was very friendly and we played 18 in 3.5 hours.

I love this course. The layout is difficult, but fair. The conditions are fantastic. The staff is friendly and helpful. We played early and played in under 3 hours. We were practically alone on the court. We will be back.

Very good and challenging

The course is in a neighborhood surrounded by a marsh. The fairways are well maintained, and the greens well tended and consistent. There are lots of trees on the sides with overhanging branches, so you need to be fairly accurate with your drives. There is not the normal clean edge between the greens and the fringe, but still very acceptible. Roughs are not deep, but occassionally thick enough to challenge. Overall, a fun coarse to play. Worrh the price if at a discount. Bring bug spray, particularly if there is minimal breeze.
