Oak Marsh is a Pete Dye-designed golf course that is one of three 18-hole courses at Omni Amelia Island Resort. The Oak Marsh course meanders alongside the Atlantic Ocean, providing sweeping views and an ever-changing sea breeze.

Appropriately named after its terrain of scenic salt marshes and moss-draped heritage oaks, the golf course has a stunning landscape that is ideal for a challenging round. Dye protected the natural beauty of the island by carefully maintaining the tidal marshes, oceanfront dunes, grassland, and savannahs. The layout features tight fairways and small, bulk-headed greens, a classic Dye element. There are a variety of bunkers strategically placed throughout and water comes into play on fourteen holes.

Beautiful course

In a beautiful area, reminiscent of Hilton head. Greens sloped and tricky. Condition is excellent.. Tight course, but played larger.

Well maintained but not fair from the tips

Course is pretty and in excellent shape. I played from the back (Gold) tees and have several issues. Some T boxes were thicker than the rough, Some tee markers were absent. In some cases trees close to the t box blocked access to the fairway or most of the green on a par three. In another 2 holes brush was grown so high as to block driver shots off the tee.

Amazing course layout for all golfers

The layout is great and challenges long hitters to those who are just starting out. Greens , bunkers, and fairways are top notch. The staff and practice facilities are similar to the actual green speed. Will be back soon

Expensive, Needs Work

Postive: 9th, 16th, 17th, 18th holes, all on Marsh.
Clubhouse has not received any meaningful update in over 20 years, and restrooms are no better than in a rundown bus station. Carts are old, a little depressing. Some bunkers are in sad shape, too, with stones, inferior sand. Cart paths need redoing. All this for the highest price around.

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.

Pricing themselves out of their market

Nice place to play. However, tee times are too close together resulting in slow play.
Overpriced.

Slow pace was excruciating.

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