Omni Amelia Island Resort & Spa - Oak Marsh

We have played the course several times - twice on this trip plus one or two more planned. The layout is great with a nice practice and putting area. All of the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Don't waste your money like I did. Worth maybe $45 for the great marsh views. Conditions are nowhere near the pictureskline. Look at my pictures on my Google review. Staff was great and worked well to make it enjoyable. I got a hot deal for $80 and was highly disappointed. My knee consolation is I didn't pay the $120 they want for regular rate. Ridiculous..

They got us off early so our twosome was behind a three some so the pace of play was less than 4 hours.. Greens were quick and in decent shape. Fairways and tee boxes need some sun and heat to fill in the bare spots. Overall enjoyed playing the course but was expecting it to be In better shape. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

For a Pete Dye design the course it is pretty playable. There are not too many crazy, difficult holes. The course is challenging but fun to play. The 20-30 mph winds made some shots very difficult. On the 18th hole I hit a great wedge and the wind blew it back almost to the hazard.

Nice layout and friendly staff. The course could use a little TLC as most of the holes had patches in the fairways. The greens rolled nice and were very quick. I’ll definitely play here again.

Beautiful golf course surrounded by huge oak trees with Spanish moss and luxury neighborhood. Requires precision iron shots as most greens are elevated, Small and undulating.

The layout is decent, but it is probably one of Dye’s least remarkable layouts. Most people outside of Amelia Island haven’t even heard of this course. Shoot, I’m from Jax, have played all over for 30 years, and I hadn’t even heard of it until a few years ago. This leads me to my biggest issue with the course: the rates are out of whack for 1) the notoriety (lack thereof in this case) and 2) the conditions. I paid $153 for a Saturday AM. Yes, it’s the busiest time of the week, and I get that. This course during peak season on a Saturday AM isn’t worth any more than $75. In fact, I played it 2 years and 1 week ago and it was $64. It was in better shape then. There were several fairways with bare spots, and the rough just off the fairways was straight up beat on most holes. The course and the grass didn’t look healthy at all. The greens were respectable, but it’s evident that divots are not being properly repaired and it’s taking its toll. Here’s the reality: people from North and others visiting the resort don’t know any different. The resort is essentially getting what it can get. There’s demand and they’re happy to max out the rates, even if they’re grossly inadequate for the quality. If you’re used to premium public courses or private golf, there’s a solid chance that you’ll be underwhelmed - unless you’re from up North and any course that isn’t covered in snow in January is passable to you.

We have played several courses on or near Amelia Island, and it is in the best shape of all. Greens were smooth and quick, fairways very good. Bunkers needed to be raked and conditioned, but they have same staffing issues as elsewhere. We will be back.

This course has many picturesque spots! The ninth and the sixteenth holes are the most memorable picturesque spots for me. This is a challenging and well thought out course. The greens and fairways are immaculately kept. Great experience.

I love this course. It’s not as pristinely groomed as some of its neighbors, but it’s perfectly fine. Importantly, the greens are in good shape. Most of all it’s a challenging, but not tricked-up course. Very fun to play with a few spectacular views across the marsh.

The final three holes are some of the best closing holes I have ever played. Really interesting challenges in an amazing setting.

The staff is exceptionally nice and helpful. But a particular shout-out to the young man who was working in the pro shop the day we were there (December 31). He went above and beyond the call of duty. Terrific asset for the club.

We got little late due to map taking us to an entry point that needed a card so we had to take another route but staff was amazing to accommodate us and let us tee up ASAP. It’s a beautiful course with really nice views. I will definitely go to the course again when I am in the area.

It got a bit slow in between but not major delay. The course was in great condition and staff was very friendly. My son still talks about the course 4 months later and he consider it one of the best courses he has played on.

Outstanding place! Great, friendly staff, excellent course! Beautiful location and in impeccable shape.

The course is always in fantastic shape. Beautiful and challenging holes. Friendly staff.
