King and Prince Golf COurse

Outstanding course conditions from tees to greens except the bunkers, sand was somewhat thin and very difficult to judge. Greens were pure and a joy to putt. Nice mix of some easy holes and a few tough ones. Couple of blind tee shots with no hole descriptions anywhere. Recommend to all. BRING BUG SPRAY!!!!!!!! Morning tee time got eaten alive all over the course, when in the woods shady areas you couldn't hit the shot fast enough, all types of flies, etc... were everywhere and in your face. Great course though.

Extremely Satisfied

This is a beautiful course on the north end of St. Simon's Island, Ga. The course is well maintained. Four holes thread through the salt marsh offering beautiful views of the island and water. If visiting the Island, this is a must-see and play for every golfer.

Fantastic Course with Unique Layout

This is a fantastic course with very unique marsh views and great greens. Would definitely recommend this to mid to low handicap golfers. A must play if on St Simons Island.

7/27 Golf @ K& P

As always, course was in excellent condition. Nice breeze and shaded areas made the temperature limited manageable. K&P has always been my favorite course in the area.

Need a Marshall

Two slow groups held up the course, and no staff to make them move. We ended up skipping a couple holes to get ahead of slow play. Probably will not return

Can’t beat it

After playing almost every course around in a bit of a golf haven in northern St. John’s county I can comfortably say this course is in my top 5 tracks. The starter/cart guy was super friendly and even the greens keepers were helpful when we stopped to make small talk. The course got a lot of rain the day before and we had almost zero issues with it being wet. It’s a gorgeous place to play with very unique holes. Can’t wait to get back.
