About

Type Resort
Par 72
Length 6471 yards
Slope 129
Rating 70.9

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.

What's not to like?

What's not to like? Pete Dye layout, perfectly manicured course, and scenic surroundings in an upscale resort. This course checks the boxes. Go play it - you'll be glad you did.

Fun low country course

If the rest of the course was as spectacular as the last four holes, Oak Marsh would be in the Golf Digest top 100. Alas, not the case. Nonetheless, a fun vacation track. Course in great condition. Greens look great but they keep them way too slow (I'd guess 9.5).

If you are staying on Amelia Island certainly worth playing.

Can’t wait to play again

Great course! Pete Dye designed a beautiful layout. This was my favorite course we played while on vacation. The irregular undulated greens offer a nice challenge. Wish I could play it again asap but you can only take so many vacations. If you’re debating whether to play here or not? Stop. Book your tee time now.

Had a blast!

Visiting from Georgia and used GolfNow app to book a last minute tee time. At a substantial discount mind you!

We had a great time! Course was in great shape. Was very fun to play and pace was perfect. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely try to play again on our next trip.

Course was in great shape . Absolutely beautiful views and pace of play was perfect. Tight fairways on some holes makes it challenging. Greens were rolling at an 8. Great course but it definitely hurts the pockets

Good from Tee ti Green...and then

This is a beautiful course in a great location. We played Dye’s Valley yesterday and thought this course was more interesting. That said, the greens were TERRIBLE—the worst I have played outside of a municipal. Had to guess on the speed, read of putt, etc. The traps were really hard; too—the club bounced off the sand in a number of them. The fairways were great and the layout is wonderful. Average service: nothing bad, nothing great. Overall, it was a fun round but not if we wanted to score. The greens made that impossible/ They need to cut them a lot more carefully to speed them up and make them more consistent.

I live in Fernandina Beach and play Oak Marsh at least once or twice a week. The greens and fairways are in great shape and this Pete Dye design has something for us all. This is my favorite course in Fernandina Beach! Well done!
