Omni Amelia Island Resort & Spa - Oak Marsh

Oak Marsh has a great layout and great views, but the course conditions were awful for the price we paid. The facilities are a bit lacking.

Patchy fairways. Bumpy greens. Great Pete Dye layout ruined by poor maintenance.

Course was very busy. Staff and course conditions were very accommodating

Beautiful course, in great shape. Lots of water. Semi-tough, but fair course. 190 yards off blue tees would land you in most fairways. Clubhouse and restaurant staff was excellent. I'm a 22 handicapper and I enjoyed the course.

Beautiful course layout with several holes along side or over the Marsh. Check out to back tees on #16. Fairways and tees were a little sparse, often hitting off dirt. I’m not sure if it’s due to the time of year (early March). However playing at Sawgrass 2 days earlier, it was night and day conditions. Sawgrass was very lush. Overall it’s worth playing due to the Pete Dye layout and beauty.

For a 120-140$ round of golf the conditions were just not worth it. It’s mainly the front 9 that the condition does not match the price. Fairways were super patchy and bare. Greens were patchy, had weed spots and were quite bumpy and slow for an ~8-15 tee time . The areas around the greens were quite frankly awful. Sometimes even in the fringe/collar area even was a bit bare but more than 5 yards off the green there was no grass and impossible to chip up to the green with how much runoff each green seemed to have.

For whatever reason the conditions on the back 9 were noticeably better and much more worth the price but nothing that left me satisfied with the overall value considering the front 9.

It’s a fun layout being that it’s a short course (6600-6700 tipped out) that’s pretty tight for the most part. The back 9 has holes on the marsh with the last 3 all being right on the marsh that are nice.

Oak Marsh is our favorite course to play in the area. You cannot beat the course conditions, quality of layout and staff friendliness.

Firstly, this is a challenging golf course. In true Dye fashion, if you miss…you pay. Many waste areas, turtle back greens, strategically placed hazards…it’s got it all. The sweeping marsh views to finish the round are second to none. The staff and pro shop were great. I don’t know if it was the time of year but the course conditions didn’t exactly match the 150 price of admission. The layout made up for it but there was much to be desired as far as conditions. There were leaves and debris all over the course….greens and fairway edges clearly hadn’t been blown off for a minute. Very thin around the edges and around the greens. Greens rolled fine…. A little too fine lol , tough to hold. With this layout the course should be totally world class but it seems to need a bit of attention. With that said , no regrets… I’d play it again.

Greens were in great shape and over seeded to be green. Fairways were over seeded too, but a bit bare. Same for tee boxes. Range was pretty good. Good pace of play. And friendly staff.

This is our favorite course in the area. We have played it several times during our visit and during past visits. The course is in very good shape. The starter re-arranges groups to provide the most enjoyable round for the golfer. The course is fair and enjoyable both for my wife and me. I highly recommend it. The staff is always helpful and friendly.

Played 18 as a two-some, Ron the starter was able to work his magic and get us out a little early, with 5 foursomes of the mens club headed out before us. Front 9 is tight and will challenge your ball placements, back 9 opens up more and the back has beautiful views of the marsh areas as you make your way back in. Greens in great shape, very quick and pin placements were tough. Good variety of tees and length, with the ability to “play up” if you’re a mid handicapper.

This is a resort course at one of the finest resorts in the area. It is very well maintained and many holes run along the marsh, which gives it a unique feel. It is a pretty challenging course -- not too narrow, but plenty of obstacles. It is quite short for a chapionship course though 6,600 yards from the tips and 6,000 from the gold tees. Because of that, there are several par 4s that are tricked up to make it difficult. You really can't hit driver on those holes. I'm not a big fan of this type of layout, hence my layout rating is 3. but if you like that style, it's well done. The last three holes are really cool.

Very nice layout. 8 good/great scenic holes while the other 10 were just average. Conditions were well below average. Friendly staff and pace of play was average at best.

The golf course was in outstanding condition, friendly pro shop staff, and great club house grill and bar. All is great, but all is expensive as well.
