Oak Marsh at Omni Amelia Island Resort

The Oak Marsh Golf Course is one of the truly classic Pete Dye-designed golf courses in the world. The 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. At par 72, this 6,500-yard course has 14 holes with water hazards and numerous bulk-headed greens.

Included in Golf Digest's prestigious list of the “Top 75 Resort Courses in the U.S”, Oak Marsh also was selected by Travel & Leisure Golf as one of” Florida’s 50 Finest Courses.”

Golfers may take a complimentary 5-minute shuttle from the hotel property to the golf course. A boxed lunch and drinks will be provided. Golf clubs may be rented on site for $70.00, payment will be due at the time of rental.
