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.

Beautiful golf course

One of the best courses in Florida. The course conditions are superb and the scenery is incredible. Watching the bald eagles snatch fish from the small ponds was a fantastic sight. The course is both forgiving and challenging. Highly recommended.

Great golf experience at Oak Marsh

Played at Oak Marsh 3 times while on vacation at the Omni Resort. Played the white tee which were about right for a senior player. The course wasn't crowded this time of year which made it fast for us.. We played one 18 hole round in 3 hours. Fairways were great, but you better watch out for the greens as they will eat your lunch!

Staff (Michael and Briana) as well as others were very helpful.

Overall, we were extremely satisfied.

Birdie on 12

Bring your camera, there are breathtaking views on this course. My favorite was on 15, walking up to the green on this par four, I noticed something on top of the flag. It was a large owl, I got to within

25 yards of the green before it took off.... On 14 the flamingos were lining the trees off to the left of the green. Some would fly by us,

I think some folks may feed them.

The course is great, generous fairways on some holes, tight on a few.

Greens are receptive, ball will stick. Some greens are small, so that works. Fairways tee boxes all in great shape. Play this course you will not be disappointed.

Classic Pete Dye

Oak Marsh constantly reminds me how much i enjoy marsh golf. While the marsh is only in play on 5 holes, the other 13 are decent holes. However, the 5 marsh holes stand out as the clear best 5. On almost every hole, there are hazards or OB on each side of the fairway. There are also well placed bunkers and lots of variety. Certainly would recommend to anyone at Amelia, but be ready for difficult pars.

Excellent course but beware additional fees.

Course was in excellent shape despite a lot of recent rain. Challenging but playable for golfers of all skill levels. Carts with built in GPS.

Surprised at check-in with additional fees of "Internet Service Charge" and "Links Service Charge" so booked rate was deceptive.
