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.

Finishing the 18th hole just in time
The course and weather were great great until the rain rolled in. Was drenched trying to finish the last hole.
Staff was were very nice. The only downside was trying to find the course through the maze on the Omni resort..
Needs TLC
Played here years ago, better then. Nice Pete Dye layout with great views on 9, 16, 17, & 18. Greens were awful, tees and fairways not much better. Omni needs to fix this course. Really a shame that this Dye jewel has fallen so far...
Thank you for taking the time to review the course. We take single star feedback very seriously at our course. You are welcome to comment further or reach out to our team in the golf shop. We always appreciate the feedback. Thank you for playing Omni Amelia Island Resort - Oak Marsh.
Great layout
Definitely a Florida feel to this one. Mossy trees, marsh carries, etc. I loved the layout and the risk/reward. Greens were not as good as I expected, with multiple hole punches and some dead areas. Lots of sand on the greens as well. Fairways were very good. I guess Covid was affecting the amenities, as there was no restaurant open before our 7:48 time and no cart person.
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Omni Amelia Island Resort - Oak Marsh.
Good time
The outside service staff is the first to greet you and they were great. The shop staff was very friendly and helpful. The practice facility is very good and the starter was helpful. The course was in very good shape considering we are just coming out of winter. Overall I enjoyed the day.

Beautiful Course
This course is indeed a treasure
Ancient live oaks line all of the holes
It is a challenging course and the greens are fast and undulating
Some of the pin placements were very difficult
If you go bring your own snacks because the only way you’re going to eat at the turn is order something from the restaurant
I am at Charlie at the bag drop off and he was very nice as was the people at the front counter and the starter Ron was great
If you get a chance to play this course take it you won’t regret it I highly recommend it
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Omni Amelia Island Resort - Oak Marsh.
Great course.

Great facility but wait for the back nine before getting cocky
Purchased as a single and was matched up with three terrific guys. Drew was the class of the field and as Dennis the starter warned the back nine kicked my butt. Bring plenty of balls, I thought 6 balls would be enough and ended up borrowing a couple to finish the round. Staff was quick and friendly. All was great except thought I’d offer the rest of the foursome a round as the high scorer and to my surprise the 19th hole was closed? Sorry guys....awesome facility. Final comments:
A.) open the nineteenth hole
B.) better directions and signs out on the Highway or website
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Omni Amelia Island Resort - Oak Marsh.
Highly Recommend!
This course was in great condition and really fun to play. Definitely was not easy but a fair course. Staff was also extremely nice and pleasant to talk to. Only negative was that there’s no place to eat and get a drink at after your round!

Improvements noted
Course is in better shape. New tee boxes on several holes. Pace of play was quick without feeling. Rushed. GPS on carts add value and improve course knowledge and help speed play. Greens were just sanded and played slow 9-10. Great course design and Marsh is woven in the course layout. Had a great time and enjoyed the challenge.

Great resort course. Fun to play with some great views.
Course wasn't quite as good of shape as last year mainly because of harsh winter conditions in Jan. and Feb. Always enjoyable, though, to play,.
