Historic oceanfront resort on St. Simons Island with five pools, on-site golf, and rates that undercut the Sea Island properties significantly.
The King and Prince Beach and Golf Resort has operated on St. Simons Island since 1935, which gives it 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 restaurant that serves the beachside market. The on-site King and Prince Golf Club, a Joe Lee design, provides golf without leaving the property, and resort guests receive preferred green fee rates of $95.
At $200 to $350 per night, The King and Prince positions itself as the primary alternative to the Sea Island resort properties for golfers who want a beach-and-golf combination at a lower price point. The rooms do not carry Forbes Five-Star finishes, and the service model operates at a different level than The Cloister or The Lodge. What the property provides is a genuine oceanfront location, on-site golf, and a total daily cost that is less than the room rate alone at Sea Island. For golfers whose primary interest is the public-access courses at Sea Palms and King and Prince, this resort provides the most logical base.
