The King and Prince Golf Club

The original course was designed by Joe Lee and opened in 1989. Golf course architect Beau Welling and senior design associate Chase Webb are leading a redesign that reduces irrigated turf by roughly 20% while adding strategic variety; construction has been led by MacCurrach Golf. The rebuilt facilities include a new driving range, short-game area, and putting green, alongside a reimagined clubhouse with enhanced dining, upgraded locker rooms, and an expanded golf shop.

As of September 2026, the course is closed for construction. Membership sales opened in May 2026 through an online portal requiring an invite code from the Club's Membership Team -- pricing, formal membership categories, and equity vs. non-equity structure were not publicly disclosed as of this research date, despite repeated searches this session. Historically the course operated on a public/resort-guest model; that model is being actively discontinued as part of the conversion to private status.

The course directly borders the gated Hampton Plantation residential community (Hampton Plantation Property Owners Association, ~320 homesites) to its west -- the course's historical 'Home of the Hampton Club' name reflects this adjacency. No confirmed evidence found this session that Hampton Plantation home purchases include, require, or receive priority access to club membership; treat as adjacent, not bundled. The broader King and Prince resort acquisition is separately reported to include developable land and beachfront condominiums for sale several miles south, which may or may not carry a future membership connection -- unconfirmed.

Located on St. Simons Island's north end, Glynn County, bordered by the gated Hampton Plantation community, several miles north of the King and Prince Beach Resort hotel property.
