Avoid at all Costs

Absolutely disgusted by the ethics of management. They are starting to do a complete renovation of the entire course and the greens have been over seeded and are more or less a carpet, if not the first cut of rough at a US Open. The fairways are bare and have been painted. In fact, the fairways were infinitely better suited to be the greens. That’s not hyperbolic either - paying $80 to play here was like getting catfished by a golf course. There was no warning of this on the TeeOff app or on the course website. You could not hit the ball hard enough to make a putt. I’m not going to ask for my money back, I’m going to demand it. The need to shut down or pay people to play here it’s so bad. Criminal activity.

$$$$$, rude, and not worth it

I play golf at least once a week and this was probably the oddest and most condescending experience I’ve ever had. While the conditions are excellent and I really liked the green surface, speed, and how well they rolled, there were too many other things that made it not worth the money.

They have country club in the name but that doesn’t make it one. When I tried to book a tee time, the person on the line kept telling me different days and times than I asked about. I felt the need to call back the next day to confirm and ultimately modify my reservation. I was wearing proper golf attire on arrival and was lectured about the need to wear a collared shirt the whole time which I thought was really weird since I was wearing one.

The heat index was 100°F, so water was necessary. The person in the pro shop unfortunately couldn’t guide us to their water fountain with ice so we bought water. There was a sign in the pro shop that said if you buy a certain amount of water, the price drops to $1 per bottle. We inquired about it and they didn’t honor their own sign. It’s not about the difference of a few dollars, but the blatant disregard for customer service and non-member players. It was rude, off putting, dishonest, and was tough to take after the odd ( and snarky toned) comment about golf attire despite being properly dressed. That said, the young man working the carts was able to fill our water bottle and also promptly got to our car to help us load up. He was by far the friendliest and most helpful member of staff.

The practice area is 125 yards at most with 5 or so mats, not much opportunity to warm up. The holes have no variety. It’s either a short par 3 or a straight par 4. For $90 a person, it’s just not at all worth it. Kind of scammy since there aren’t many places right on the island. Yes, the course is in great condition but that’s all you’re getting along with a lack of customer service. Unfortunate. Wouldn’t go back if a friend offered to pay.

Not worth the price of admission

Staff is friendly but the course and amenities simply are not worth the price. Irons only on the range, greens are sandy and slow, fairways have patches where they’re putting in sod, no food at the turn (except for a breakfast burrito) and some tee boxes in rough shape. Played it before in much better shape. Even with a golf now deal it wasn’t worth it. Sad, because the views are beautiful. Hope they get it back to where it was and consider pricing it more reasonably.

Hi, thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the course is important to us. We are working to get everything up to par. We have projects ongoing to recover the fairways and greens. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game, and we will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Omni Amelia Island Resort - Oak Marsh. We hope to see you again soon.

Good for the money

Is this the best course ever? Absolutely not. Is it good for a weekday round? Absolutely. The greens are ok - if people fixed ball marks they’d be able to care for the greens and let them run better. The fairways are fine but not great. The rough is fair.

You’re getting what you pay for, but you might be getting more than your money is worth. The course isn’t going to wow you but there are some pretty great views of monuments. It’s an affordable, decent, and very convenient course.

Not worth full price

Not a bad course but definitely wouldn't pay full price. I got a deal on Golf Now so I booked a round. Tee boxes were completely torn up and were unplayable on about half the holes. A handful of greens didn't roll true because of ball marks and some had bare spots. Decent course, nothing spectacular. Range was below average.

I had an 11 o'clock tee time and got there plenty early to hit balls. They rushed into a 10:45, so that was a little inconvenient. Probably won't go back unless I get another Golf Now deal.

Not worth full price

I got a hot deal and gave this course a shot. The range is pretty minimal, just 50/100/150/200 yard posts. I had an 11 o'clock tee time and was asked to play 25 minutes earlier so I didn't really get a chance to warm up and hit the balls I paid for.

Tee boxes are completely torn up and made teeing off without sliding impossible on some holes. So bad that some holes I had to go out of the designated area or use other tee boxes. Some greens had bald spots and a lot of ball marks.

A nice layout and aside from the tee boxes and a few greens nothing stood out. A good course but I wouldn't pay full price for it.

Nice course, some greens were bad

Good course, tough layout because of the hilly terrain. Would play here again if the greens were in a little better shape. One looked like it had just been through an earthquake. All in all, great for the price but won't blow you away.

Play at your own risk

It's a shame I will never go back to a great course because of how terrible the staff are. I got put in a group of SIX for my 8:45 tee time. It took me five and half hours to play an early morning round of golf. I went to the pro shop after to voice my concerns and was told by the staff member "Well I just got here so I don't know what to tell you." I called the following Monday and was told my concern would be voiced with the head pro and he would contact me by the end of the week. I called back the Monday after and was told the same thing. I have never heard back from anyone at the club.

The course is nice but it simply is not worth being treated like a second class citizen. Avoid this place, you can play plenty of courses in this area for less and with respect. A travesty.
