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.

Great Resort Course
Great Resort Course. Not long but plenty of sand and water to keep it interesting! Smaller greens...
Great resort course - great price
Booked a tee time that saved 50% off regular price. 4 hours 10min round. Well designed- great green albeit slow. Hole 17 is very pretty.
Beautiful
Course was in excellent shape for early March. Greens could be a hair faster but overall great condition.
Great course, extremely well kept and very friendly staff
The Omni marsh course was in great condition with well kept fairways and perfect greens. The staff was very friendly both on the course and at the grill (in the clubhouse).
Great course
Great course. Good fairways and fast greens. Rough was very thin, probably due to the season. Needed a ranger on the back nine, two hours on the front 2.5 hours on the back. A foursome of older golfers slowed down significantly on the back.
Oak Marsh Nice Resort course
Connected to the Omni Amelia Island Plantation, Oak Marsh is user friendly and a decent value for the visiting player. We like the layout and look forward to the last three holes which are challenging. Our only complaints are pace of play and food availability at the turn. Seems like they should have a system for arranging a sandwich at the turn, rather than having to run in, order, wait and then go....slows down everybody . Also no ranger on a Sunday with a full tee sheet, so it got slow. We finally saw a ranger on the 18th (4:30) and he asked if we were having a good day. Nice older guy, but not getting the ranger part straight. Round finished in 4:45, which seems long to us.
Beautiful course
Course was in great condition for February. Greens were slow due to the very damp weather but perfect otherwise. Make sure you play the correct tees for your game. Generous fairways but interesting second shots.
Wow, what a day!
From the bag staff, to Krystal in the Pro Shop, to starter ol' Charles, weather too, it was a magnificent Saturday. I've played around Amelia Island and this is the best of GolfNow. Pete Dye always bring a tough course, which I enjoy. Play the right tees and you will be thrilled with the layout. Course was generous off the tee, narrowed to the green. Then, a good short game was needed. Greens, today, were fast, true, with some grain. The asst pro warned me about shifting grain. But I sunk the 20 footer on 18, so all was good. Couple from VA and Irish fellow from Boston were a treat to play with.
Fun course with a lot of water and bunkers
Greens were in great shape, some tee boxes had a lot of sand, other than that course is amazing. The range was in good shape with updated yardages. friendly staff
Definitely yes
This course is wanna be private. And deserves it. Not crazy difficult but looks like it could be. Play this while you can.
On Course Ranger Needed
Two groups ahead of our twosome, group of three slow played the whole back nine and twosome ahead of us didn’t hit any second shot until the green was open, even on the par 5’s, after hitting a 100 yard drive they wouldn’t hit a second stroke until the green was open. Course needs a ranger to keep things moving and after two warnings should pull slow players off the course.
