About

Holes 18
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.

Great value with the deal from golf now. The course was picturesque with many holes boarding the marshes or lakes. Greens rolled true but still challenging.

Over really enjoyed.

Omni Golf at Amelia - disconnected

Booked a round at Omni Oak Marsh, which is now the only remaining course at the Amelia Island Plantation, which is very unfortunate. People jammed up on one course now, slow play and conditions not close to the quality they used to be. No ranger in site to help us move play along. Players in front of us hitting from gold tees which was absurd since they were teeing 4 balls off every tee. No ranger in site. Finally we left after 7 holes. As the play was too slow. They should have never closed the other Omni Links course. I don;t plan on playing again although the staff was nice to offer a rein check to come back another time.

Greens and tee boxes in good shape however fairways and course not so much to Omni Standards, Could use some help.

Must play this course.

Lay out is fair, and a test, will keep your attention. We had a fair amount of wind , which added an element of fun.

The staff here are the greatest. This course is one of our favorite courses on the east coast. If you can play this with a hot deal less than $70. It is a GREAT value.

Nice but overpriced

The course was in great shape and the outside staff was very friendly. However the course is not a $100 plus round course, so watch for deals.

Best Deal Around!

Condition of course, especially considering recent hurricane damage, was outstanding!

This time of year, course is not crowded, which leads to fast play.

Unmatched setting of old Florida with unspoiled nature.

Offer of reduced green fee to Florida and Georgia residents is not to be missed!!!!

Staff and facility impeccable and exceeds expectations while still remaining unpretentious.

Will make every effort to drive up from SW Florida to play again.

Great little course!

The track is not that long, but it's in great shape, not punishing but with sufficient challenges to keep it fun and interesting. The greens were in great shape, rolled pretty fast and putts held their line pretty well. Scenery was fantastic. Definitely would play again.
