The property
The King and Prince Beach and Golf Resort has operated on St. Simons Island since 1935, a history that predates most of the development on the Golden Isles. The 197-room property sits directly on the oceanfront, with five pools and a beachside restaurant. The on-site King and Prince Golf Club, a Joe Lee design, lets you play a round without leaving the property, and resort guests pay a preferred green fee of $95.
What to expect
A genuine oceanfront location, on-site golf, and a total daily cost that comes in below the room rate alone at Sea Island. The rooms do not carry Forbes Five-Star finishes, and the service runs at a different level than The Cloister or The Lodge. What you get instead is a working beach-and-golf combination with a long tenure on the island, well-suited to public-access course days at Sea Palms and King and Prince.
Rates and booking
$200 to $350 nightly. The primary alternative to the Sea Island resort properties for golfers who want beach and golf together at a lower price point. Book direct or through your preferred travel platform.
