Golf Advisor rates Georgia's top public courses

King+and+Prince+Golf+Course-2-family-getaway copy — **King and Prince**

Golf Advisor magazine has asked its readers to rank Georgia’s best public golf courses, and more than 4,000 compiled. Topping the list: King and Prince Beach and Golf Resort on St. Simons Island.

This inaugural Georgia ranking lists 15 courses (from among 93 considered). The ranking represents how a course met or exceeded a golfer’s expectations rather than a course’s history, design or potential as other such lists do.

Of King and Prince one voter wrote: “Lots of majestic oaks dripping with moss and the water holes are breathtaking. We usually see a gator or two and today was no exception. The greens are fast and fairways forgiving. We all had a great time, as usual.”
