On my trip to St. Simons and Georgia’s Golden Isles, I stayed at the King & Prince Beach and Golf Resort, one of my favorite hotels EVER. This historic hotel has three pools, a jacuzzi, beach access, a spa, spacious rooms, and one of the island’s best restaurants and golf courses. So here are my favorite pictures of the King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort to inspire your travel plans!

How much does it cost to play golf at Sea Island?
The Sea Island golf green fees are $250 for 18-holes and $135 for 9 holes after 4 p.m.
Georgia’s Golden Isles are a year-round destination, but Spring and Fall are the best seasons to visit. March – May and September – November have cool breezes and warm temperatures in the 60s at night and the 70s and 80s in the day without the humidity of the summer months. These are the shoulder seasons, so accommodation prices and tourist numbers won’t be at their highest.
Summer is hot and muggy with temperatures in the 90s, and the humidity will make it feel much hotter. Mosquitos are out in full force during these months, so make sure you always have bug spray with you. Afternoon rain showers are also common. June – August is the peak travel season for the Golden Isles, so everything will be at its most expensive and most crowded. The public beaches will fill up by mid-morning, many restaurants will require reservations, and you’ll need to book tours ahead of time.
Winter is the offseason, but the island’s mild temperatures mean this is still a great time to visit. You can get some great hotel deals in December (excluding the Christmas – New Year holiday week), January, and February. Nighttime temperatures will be in the mid-40s, and daytime temperatures should stay in the 60s. Some businesses and tour companies are closed for the winter season, but most places will still be open.
When was the King and Prince built?
The King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort was built in 1941. This hotel is perfectly located for exploring this picture-perfect island. I highly recommend renting bikes for a self-guided tour of Ocean Boulevard, Saint Simons Pier, World War II Homefront Museum, Neptune Park, and the St. Simons Lighthouse.
Are caddies required at Sea Island?
No, a caddie is not required at Sea Island, but caddies are available if you want one.
