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.

Fun day / experience at Oak Marsh

Had a great experience / time at Oak Marsh - I was paired up with three members. Their course knowledge was certainly an asset for me as a first timer. Staff was very friendly and professional. The course is in great condition. Tee boxes / Fairways / Greens are all in very good to excellent condition. The greens had a good pace and true. A lot of subtle movement. My only negative comment would be on their traps. I played out of two - both were rather steep with minimal sand. Almost hard pan at the bottom. Highly recommend playing the course if you’re in the area. The backside has so many beautiful holes.

Overpriced

I know this course well. Used to play it regularly but haven’t played since at least Covid. Needs investment, which Omni seems unwilling to provide. Pro Shop, restrooms, bunkers, greens and cartpaths all need total rehab. No tees on the range, which had precious little grass in the area designated. Amazing for the level of resort it purports to be. No refreshments cart around either! Nearly all of the front nine is a disappointment, crammed emwith nearby homes, until you get to beautiful #9 on the marsh. Same re back nine, though it turns beautiful earlier, with 16, 17, and 18 all beautiful.

Fun Layout Through the Marsh

Beautiful course in great condition. Loved it. Read some reviews that it was tight. I didn’t think so. 18 is a great finishing hole. Recommended. It’s not cheap because it’s a resort course, but we’ll worth playing.

Slow pace was excruciating.

Teed off hoping to play in 3:30 hrs. Had to leave after 13 holes after 3:30 playing time.

Great course, but tough

Course was in excellent shape; greens were rolling very well. Really difficult course, but the views and scenery are unbeatable.

Very nice Course, but a little pricey.

This was my third time to play this course and I enjoyed it. With it being 1 of 3 coursed on the Island, you really do not have many options to play. It took me a little while to get used to the fairways as they were so much softer than my normal course. The greens were fast and true, which made for a fun time around the hole.

It was a nice and scenic course, with a some wonderful views. Again, since there are not a large amount of options on the course, I will probably play this course again on my next trip to Amelia Island.

Fun Day

My buddy and I had a fun day. We got paired up with some folks we didn’t know, but they were fun and we had a good time and enjoyed the round. Greens were 2 weeks removed from aerification, so they weren’t very fast, but they had healed nicely.
