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.

Enjoyable Round

Oak Marsh GC was semi-challenging and very pleasant to view. Fairways and greens were on the mark for a resort atmosphere. Place of play was good, no real delays. Range was easy to access and comfortable to use. Beverage cart was always around to offer refreshments, and the on-course bathrooms were clean and accessible.

Just played LGPA in Daytona, so my comparison is somewhat biased as far as course conditions and playability. I joined a group, and I enjoyed their banter and laughter…great times. I would recommend this course to others.

More challenging than the yardage would suggest

The gold tees are only 6600, but the last three holes are all into the wind with forced carries. The greens were deceptively fast , more so than the practice green but were in excellent condition in late March. The fairways werent narrow but you cant spray the ball either or youll find a lot of strategically located water. The staff was exceptionally friendly and the pace of place for us was a std 4 hour round. I would like to play it again and would recommend it. The womens tees are quite forgiving.

My only issue was on the last two holes where reeds and bushes had grown directly in front of the tee boxes making it unfair to attempt to hit a the necessary low trajectory shot into the wind.

Challenging golf course

Overall the course was everything you expected from a Pete Dye course. Bunkers, greens and fairways in great shape. Very scenic holes from the back tees.

Not worth the greens fee

It’s only March and already the fairways and tee boxes are burning out, This is a good Pete Dye layout but due to lack of money, care and proper maintenance the Omni has turned this track into a tremble golf experience.

Worth the price!

Fun all around. Made 3 birds to offset 3 doubles and was 81 from the whites. Stay out of the bunkers though, as they are a stroke penalty. The greens are small and wonderful to play.

Fantastic course

The course was one of the best I played in Florida during my 5 weeks holiday. I love Peter Dye desing and how the nature is not cleaned too much. The fairways and greens condition were perfect. The course was not too difficult from blue and my wife red, but the wind made it more challenging. Wonderful day.
