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.

Afternoon round
When checking in for a two PM tee time we asked if it was possible to go off earlier as we had early dinner reservations and the pro shop attendant said that there wasn’t any room however when on the practice green a half hour went by with no one teeing off.
When we rounded the front nine, another foursome was allowed to play ahead that slowed the pace of play considerably.
This was the only negative as we just wished we could have played the last three holes.
