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.

Cart path only
Nice course but cart path only for no reason course was dry
My return to Oak Marsh
Haven't played the oak marsh course in 10 years. Had a fantastic day here starting at the driving range and continuing to the great par 5 closing hole. Course was in great shape and I love the layout, bunkering and undulating small greens. Staff was extremely friendly and hooked us up with two great guys. Currently am a 15 handicapper and played from the white tees. Just love the location and the way it winds through the manicured properties bordering some of the course.before moving to the wide open marsh areas on the back nine. A fantastic golf experience.
Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing Oak Marsh at Amelia Island Plantation!
Great course
I play this Oak Marsh with a small group of other players almost every week. It is a great course and the staff at the club drop off area, check-in and restaurant are all exceptional. This is my favorite course in the local area!
Your feedback is important to us! Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing Oak Marsh at Amelia Island Plantation.
Wonderful golf course. Played several times in February and enjoyed every round. Every hole is
a challenge with sand traps and many with water in play. Staff is accomodating and helpful.
Course is in great shape and very scenic as well. A must play if in the area.
Your feedback is important to us, shipwatch. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing Oak Marsh at Amelia Island Plantation.
No Value
Below standard conditions for the price of playing 18 holes.
Paid $170 I would value the winter conditions at $65.
Dirt or very thin grass around many greens. Fairways not clean leaves sticks debris in many areas. Would not recommend.
Iconic Dye course
Pete Dye did it right in many ways on this course. This course is a Gem and the staff from the moment you turn in gives you first class service. Micheal you and your staff are a cut above everyone else! If you looking for a course to play with scenic marsh views and iconic Pete Dye challenges then the Oak Marsh course is a must play. It was well worth the 2 hour drive from Hilton Head area. Will definitely be back soon!
Course was OK. Not much better than that

Oak Marsh
Very good condition, most fairways like carpet and greens are fast and true. Only complaint is that on some holes they had cart path only, and they were on par 5 holes with no apparent reason for this. Made it difficult for club selection and wasted a lot of time walking back and forth to the cart.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Oak Marsh at Amelia Island Plantation thanks you!

Where is the Ranger?
Our foursome followed another foursome and waited 3-6 minutes on each tee. Horrible course management.

Great scenery
Pretty neat course. It meanders through some of the Marsh with those holes being totally exposed to the elements. The other holes go throughout some very nice homes and gorgeous mossy oak trees. Some holes are easy distances and very gettable while others make up for their generous distances. Bunkers positioned well surrounding the greens so make sure you pay attention of where not to miss and ponds and hazards are positioned from off the tee so again just look forward on the hole and see what’s out there for you. Here’s the funny thing though, the greens rolled great and definently held shots when hitting into them however the grass seems very thin on some of them all most bare and it’s like there’s a layer of black algae or fungus under the grass but again, it did not affect the putts, not sure how they do it but they do. Great clubhouse -and had good range and putting area. Carts have GPS and also USB charging ports. Hope this helps, enjoy and good luck!
Thank you for your review, stephenmgates. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Oak Marsh at Amelia Island Plantation. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Thanks for the 5-star review!
Senior Suicide
I felt compelled to write a review. To get to the point, I understand from staff that there were rule changes after the first of the year. No more FREE range balls. This seems ridiculous considering the price for a round of golf and the balls are Recoverable! Also, my main complaint! The course is great for walking but poor for riding. Many of the fairways were Roped Off along the cart path to restrict 90 degree rule, so a walk across the fairway to evaluate, back to pick a club and back for the stroke. This not the the proper way to play! It was my second time at the course and I am an intermediate golfer. I won’t be back. But like I said, the staff were great, so maybe, you can put up with restrictions.
Hello Bob2983. Thank you for taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass along your feedback to the staff so they can work to make changes. Thanks for visiting us!
Florida Residents
Very disappointed that more tee times are not made available and kept only for Florida Residents
No one was ahead of us or behind. It is off season at Fernandina Beach and you should make more tee times at great rates available to promote play
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back!
Return here
Everything here is easy...except the course. Staff gets you signed in, onto your cart and out on the course seamlessly.
