Omni Amelia Island Resort & Spa - Oak Marsh

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.

I will go back
I really enjoyed this course. The staff members were all top-notch. The conditions of the course were impeccable. I couldn’t have asked for a better day.
Needs TLC
The greens were splotchy and generally slow. The layout was interesting but some very short holes. I was expecting a far better quality course for the $150 greens fee. Staff was excellent but the course conditions were really disappointing. I
Great course and staff
Had a great time, starter let us go a few minutes early, very helpful and happy staffers. It can get pricey, and found out it will be shut down soon for renovations to entire course. A must play if in the area. Was hoping to get my northern buddies down here in next month or two and play this track. Hope they keep it affordable to public.
Nice, but showing its age
This is a nice course with 4 or 5 holes right on the marsh with long views out across the wetlands. It is a classic low country course: tight from tee to green with small greens. You don't need to be long, but you must be straight. If you struggled with the driver like I did, it will be a long day.
Also, the bermuda grass on the greens seems like an older strain that's very coarse. There are better strains that roll smoother and are less grainy. For the price ($100 on GolfNow), I expected better.
I liked Amelia River and The Golf Club of Amelia Island better.
Excellent course
A lot of fun! Challenging course, amazing views. Play the golds at 16 regardless of skill level!! It’s incredible!
Hot day of golf!
Course overall good shape. Lots of placement shots, bring some extra sleeve of balls.
Would play again.
Fantastic resort course. Helpful and friendly employees.
Fantastic Pete Dye Florida course. Not too terribly long but still has a bit of teeth if you’re not straight off the tee. A classic resort round, the staff took was professional enough to take fantastic care of mine for me the minute I arrived. Thankful for Alan, Chandler, and Greg, who are all some of the finest resort golf employees I have had the pleasure of meeting. So helpful getting me situated and providing insights to the round as well as the island as a whole. If you’re on vacation, Oak Marsh should be your stop if you’re on vacation at Amelia island, and a given if you’re staying at the Omni.
First time
Over all course in good shape, fun to play. Little tight fairways on some hole so you need to be accurate, tee to greens good shape.

Great Course
Course was in great shape. They could have made a few more holes cart path only as some inconsiderate golfers felt the need to rut up the course.
Great course
Awesome staff, course was in great shape. I play here everytime we vacation on the Island. Good practice facilities.
The course is challenging, fun and scenic. It will require less drivers off the tee, at least for me. There can be trouble with lots of places to go OB or lose a ball. But a more skilled golfer will love the challenge of working the driver and taking advantage of distance gained. Greens are smaller and challenging but are very receptive to approach shots. They are Bermuda greens and will require some pace to the hole but that is Bermuda greens
I highly recommend this course. Overall great experience. .
Enjoyed our round at Oak Marsh
First of all, the Omni property is beautiful! The course was easy to find, and the staff were all friendly and helpful. We checked in, hit some putts and range balls, then went to see the starter. He put us out a little early because the twosome that was supposed to be there hadn't checked in yet. Fortunately, we played with a fun father/son duo who had played the course a few times previously. The course is sufficiently challenging, and somewhat narrow, so be warned. We found 17 and 18 to be especially challenging, and next time we will have a different strategy for those holes. It was a very hot day, Florida in July, go figure, but one of the staff showed up when we were on the tee at 12 and offered us chilled wet towels. Ah, saved the day. We did order hotdogs and a bag of chips from the cart attendant, $36! Tasty hotdogs but very expensive. I guess it's a resort! Looking forward to playing here again.
