St. Simons Island sits at the heart of Georgia's Golden Isles, a stretch of barrier islands where salt marshes, live oaks draped in Spanish moss, and Atlantic breezes define the landscape. It's one of the oldest resort destinations on the East Coast, and golf has long been woven into the fabric of island life here alongside Jekyll Island and Sea Island, which together form one of the Southeast's most storied golf corridors.
The King & Prince name connects to one of the island's landmark beachfront resorts, a property with roots going back to the 1930s. A resort-affiliated course like this typically plays to the strengths of its setting — coastal Georgia's flat terrain, the interplay of water and marsh, and tree corridors that can turn a calm afternoon into something trickier the moment the wind picks up off the ocean.
For visiting golfers, St. Simons offers a genuinely unhurried version of the game. The island pace, the scenery, and the warm-season climate make this the kind of place where the round itself matters as much as the score.
