Omni Amelia Island Resort & Spa

I was at Omni with my wife for a convention. Did not have time to play the 18 at Oak Marsh. Walked over to Little Sandy. Did not have a tee time. Got out in 10 minutes. Warned greens are tricky and they were. Green fees include rentals. Would definitely play again

I have played this course for years and loved it. But I have to say that the new manager has lost his mind. Within three months the prices for a 6 pack of domestic beer has gone for $23 to $54. Yes $54 for a 6 pack of 12 oz Miller Lite. Beyond insane the cart ladies are not selling therefore not making any money. I would love to support the course but this pricing is ridiculous.

This was my first time on the renovated Dye layout on Amelia Island. The course has been softened a bit to reflect the hotel clientele to whom it caters. It is in wonderful shape and I believe that is because it doesn't get the amount of play that it did before. The bones of the course are still the same and it is one of the best tracks in NE Florida.

Short courses can be tricky to get right. Beau Welling did a really good job with Little Sandy, which exhibits tremendous variety for a course that is easy to play with only three or four clubs. A nice set of greens awaits. Bring extra balls, though, because more water comes into play than you might expect.

Architect Beau Welling renovated this 1972 Pete Dye design over a period of about 18 months preceding its spring 2025 reopening. While one can argue the extent to which Welling stayed true to Dye’s design principles and aesthetics, on its merits, the course is compact, sporty and great fun to play. It’ll force driver out of. Some golfers’ hands, but there are opportunities to score here, too, especially for those who aren’t afraid to shape the ball a bit.

This course, though technically the private domain of The Amelia Island Club, can sometimes be accessed by guests of the Omni Amelia Island resort nearby. It’s not a particularly long course; it holds your attention with an impressive mix of marshside holes on both nines, plus two somewhat wedged-in but nevertheless scenic back-to-back par 3s on the back that run alongside the Atlantic Ocean. The mix of palms and live oaks gives the place a very charming, peaceful feel.

We live locally and wanted to play in our staycation anniversary. Layout was well done. Rental clubs included in price, with replays and 18 hole putting. Only comments was price $$$..

It is a bit pricey for about 1hr of chip n putt but course was immaculate. I didn’t see a blemish on the greens.

Really enjoyed this place. Staff was super friendly. They loaned us carry bags. They have an 18 hole putting green which was super nice. The greens on the course were excellent. Great condition and lots of variety. Had such a good time that I went back for a replay a few hours later.

Quick pace of play, greens are nice but difficult, tee shots are fun

Little Sandy was a lot of fun. We played early and had the course to ourselves.

It is a bit pricey. Would play more often if they offered a locals discount.

I had no idea the course was closing for several months the day after I played. I feel a discount would have been appropriate based on the condition of the fairways, there literally was no grass on any of the fairways. However, the greens were in great condition. Beautiful course, love to play it again after it reopens. The pro shop staff was very friendly and professional. Great golf course, a voucher towards a future round should have been offered!

This course is closing Feb 25th for resurfacing. Not sure if any re-design is happening. We got a great rate but they were all ready killing the fairway grass, still was decent to play off though. Should be excellent when it opens next November or so.

Conditions were worst ever because of immediate closing. They should NEVER have priced it at $65 plus taxes. Total crap!
