About
Oak Marsh Golf Course is one of the truly classic Pete Dye-designed golf courses in the world. The course was built in 1972 shortly after the completion of the Harbour Town Golf Links at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. The recent renovation led by Beau Welling was completed in 2025 and was thoughtfully planned to protect the architectural feel of Pete Dye’s original creation.
At par 72, this 6,471-yard course is noted for its tight fairways and small greens, meandering along serpentine salt marsh creeks and through the moss draped heritage oaks for which Amelia Island is famous. With five tee options, the modernized layout was designed to meet the requirements of today’s game brought on by technological advancements in equipment, providing a high-quality and consistent playing experience.

Beautiful Track but Dye Always Wins
Oak Marsh is a beautiful track with outstanding views with lots of Pete Dye signature features: small crowned greens, waste area cart paths, narrow chutes. The course was well conditioned despite the greens being a bit slow having been punched a couple weeks prior. As with most Dye courses I struggled to hold the greens and even found the hazard on one hole despite landing well on the green. The pace of play was a bit slow as the course was packed. My understanding is that the course is a bit overtaxed since nearby Ocean Links was reappropriated. Amelia Island reminds one of a smaller Hilton Head with considerably viewer options for the golfer. Nevertheless, Oak Marsh is a gem and I hope I get back there in the future.

Not worth the price of admission
Staff is friendly but the course and amenities simply are not worth the price. Irons only on the range, greens are sandy and slow, fairways have patches where they’re putting in sod, no food at the turn (except for a breakfast burrito) and some tee boxes in rough shape. Played it before in much better shape. Even with a golf now deal it wasn’t worth it. Sad, because the views are beautiful. Hope they get it back to where it was and consider pricing it more reasonably.
Hi, thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the course is important to us. We are working to get everything up to par. We have projects ongoing to recover the fairways and greens. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game, and we will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Omni Amelia Island Resort - Oak Marsh. We hope to see you again soon.
Oak Marsh - All Pete Dye
Played. Lazy Saturday afternoon in early June. The course is relatively narrow and the greens are Dye postage stamps for the most part. Well placed bunkers can take Driver out of you hands if you’re long. Best to play 3W or hybrid a fair amount and then mid iron in. Bunkers are fluffy but well placed. Wind can really make course interesting and Sis for us. Great layout. Good value.
Thanks so much for the great review. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Omni Amelia Island Resort - Oak Marsh.
Pristine fairways!
Pristine fairways! The fairways on this course were as pristine as many of the greens I play locally in Maryland.

Another Dye Masterpiece
Absolutely great layout. Not very long 6600 yards from the tips. The greens were just punched less then two weeks ago and with below average rainfall they were a bit flown the rest of the course was very good. The pro shop is better then most lots of cool oak marsh merchandise and the people could not of been any nicer. Worth the drive from St Augustine. I will be back
