Marsh Golf Course
Oak Marsh is one of the truly classic Pete Dye-designed golf courses in the world. Recently renovated, this beautiful Florida course, built in 1972, 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. A variety of bunkers are placed throughout the course to add to the challenge and a natural approach has been maintained as well with the use of coquina shell cart paths, native plant life and preserved habitats for the local wildlife. Walking is allowed after 4 p.m.
Oak Marsh played host to the PGA Section Championship and Society of Seniors Championship in the past. In addition, numerous resort tournaments are played here.
