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.

Always good

Got the 7:50am tee time in a Thursday morning. Course was in great condition for it being winter. Greens rolling pure. Fairways had some wet spots and some areas under repair but those were easily avoided since I can't find a fairway to save my life. Best course available on Golfnow in the area.

Great course

This course is open to the public and in my mind has the best layout, the best bunker sand and the fastest truest greens on the island. Nice people working there. You won’t be disappointed.

Always a challenge. While tees 125 good luck.

Some solid carry if you play blue. White is easier than 125.

Great Morning

First one off on a Wednesday morning. Played in 2:10 as a single. Had the course to myself. 12-15 are spectacular. Actually 9-15 is a really fun stretch. Course is pretty easy. Not very long even from the back tees.

Staff was very friendly except the woman in pro shop when checking in and again when I stopped in afterward.

Would definitely play again when in the area.

Amazing Experience

The course was in perfect condition and we were lucky that few others were playing. We got to go out as a twosome and almost never saw anyone else. Very nice, relaxing day of golf on perfect fairways and greens. Very cool section of the course where three holes are out in marshlands (of a sort), which totally changed the experience with wind and whatnot making those holes a unique experience for the day.

Highly recommend this course. The amenities like food and drinks were lacking but that was minor to the course condition and experience.

Great except for the wait after a collegiate tourney

Started tee time 45 minutes late due to a collegiate tourney. Would have been great to had an alert so we could have arrived closer to actual starting time. Course was laid out well. Beautiful moss draped oak trees. Greens were excellent, receptive and speed was perfect. Loved marsh holes as it was very peaceful out there. Lots of water but didn’t come into play much from the white tees. Lots of wildlife. Would like to see more birdies (hah) but saw a couple of alligators, some raccoons, cranes and lots of deer. Wasn’t expecting the construction noise but that’s to be expected in a growing neighbourhood. Never mind the alligators, but watch out for the uneven sidewalk at the ladies room next to clubhouse. I tripped and landed face first. Definitely a safety hazard that needs to be addressed. Would definitely play again and even consider a membership if we lived on SSI.
