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.

Beautiful views with challenging greens
Great staff, beautiful course and views. Wonderful snap shot of classic Florida golf. Looking forward to the next round here. Loved it!
Improving
Course conditions are improving over when we last played here a year ago. Fairways and greens in good shape. Perhaps in continuous improvement efforts many of the fairways were roped off making the course in effect 60-70% cart path only.
Several scenic holes along the marsh area make it a very enjoyable round of golf.
Thank you for visiting us at Oak Marsh at Amelia Island Plantation. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Nice Course
The course was in really nice shape, the greens were receptive and a good speed. The holes were lined with ropes so there are a lot of cart path only areas, which was not a problem for me.
Thank you for visiting us at Oak Marsh at Amelia Island Plantation. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Great greens
Course was in great shape. Greens were smooth and fairways perfect.
Thank you for your review, maxmilgolf. 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.
Absolute Gem
I played @ 7:30 am. Upon arrival I was greeted by the usual: bag boy, cart staff- very friendly. The gentleman in the pro shop unlocked the door for me and I made my way in. They have wonderful merchandise and friendly staff!
The course was in PHENOMENAL condition. Any review you have seen that claims otherwise is simply false. Place was immaculate. Greens rolled true and fast, and the manicured quality of fringes, bunkers, and coquina paths rivals some of the best courses I have ever played. I highly recommend you play this scenic gem. I don’t have the time to explain the scenery, but let’s just say it is top quality.
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 Oak Marsh at Amelia Island Plantation.
Great Condition
The course was in the best shape I have seen it. This is one of the best courses around JAX.

A fun experience, worth the drive
I played today and really enjoyed Oak Marsh. Checks the major boxes in terms of good conditions, interesting layout, and great staff. What separates this golf course is the amazing beauty. Marsh holes are spectacular and inward routing passes through majestic old oak trees. This is the kind of place that even if you don''t play well, you enjoy the experience. Highly recommend.

Amazing
Amazingly beautiful! Course was in excellent shape. The greens were very fast and challenging. The staff was super friendly. Overall a great experience. We’ve played many courses in Florida and Upstate NY , including the breathtaking Bristol Harbour, but this proved to be our favorite.

Excellent Round Of Golf!!!
Played a mid day round of golf with my golfing buddy. Tee off was 11:30am and we booked through Golfnow. Range balls were aplenty, the staff was very courteous and professional, and everywhere we went someone was there to help us.
Starter had us out promptly at 11:28am and we played with virtually no one else in sight the entire round. Course was in great shape. The greens were VERY receptive on approach yet were very quick upon putting. The GPS feature on the carts left NO DOUBT to the distances needed to bunkers, hazards, front, middle, back of greens, and to pins. cart paths of sand were hard due to rain the night before but course had ZERO mud, and was in WONDERFUL shape. Just beautiful and well kept.
I vacation here every year, and THIS is one of the MUST play courses for my trip. LOVE THIS PLACE!!!
VERY beautiful views
