THERE ARE VERY FEW COURSES IN NORTH FLORIDA THAT ARE THE EQUAL TO OAK MARSH.

I AM A MEMBER OF SAWGRASS BUT RATES ARE TOO PROHIBITIVE OVER THE HOLIDAYS TO BRING MY 3 SONS TO SAWGRASS TO PLAY( SAD) SO WE HIKED UP TO OAK MARSH.

THERE IS NO EQUAL TO THIS GOLF COURSE AND THE STAFF , THE AMENITIES and the Scenery.
THE STAFF IS GREAT, THE STARTER IS GREAT, THEY DON'T HOSE YOU WTH PAYING FOR GOLF BALLS AND THE COURSE IS AS DIFFICULT AS YOU PLAY IT.
I AM A 3 HCP AND MY SONS ARE 18 TO 22 HCP'S. (But can Hit it when their swings are in Sync)
WE PLAYED THE GOLD'S AT 6600 Because the Blues were only 6000 but its a great test from the Golds with some Long Forced carries.
I have played their now closed "OCEAN COURSE" and it doesn't hold a candle to the Marsh and the fact that it's closed is a non event to me.

This course is - by far- the best course on Golf Now and if you make the hour drive, you will NOT be disappointed. I promise.
The GREENS were excellent, the fairways good and the traps were well maintained. They DON"T Cut CORNERS on Maintaining the area of Play. People need to Fix their ballmarks and drop sand n their divots BUT thats the Golfer's fault.

There are some great Holes, as well. # 9 is Superior. A Long PAr 5 along the Marsh.
# 16 Par 3 is one of the best par 3's you'll ever play and 17 from the GOLD's is a 200 yard forced carry playing at about 425 yards and the #1 HCP hole.
18 is a slight dogleg PAr 5 with a Possibility of getting home in 2 IF you can carry the Marsh n front of the Green... These are the 3 best holes in a ROW and a great way to Finish with the Sun to your back and the Low Country Intracoastal open to the West.
Miss it at your peril.... This course needs to stay OPen and operating at the highest standards and make the DRIVE. It is SO WORTH IT!!!

The BAR is great and the Restaurant and the BAck porch area that overlook the 9th Green is a sweet spot.
This is a PRIVATE COURSE level facility. Not some Chincy, Low end Course with a dreadful facility and a negative Vibe from the staff.....Even the Cart Employees are upbeat and Kind....
I absolutely LOVE this place and would play it over ANY Course listed on GOLF NOW!
It is the Equal of Sawgrass and Marsh Landing better than the Valley Course and friendlier than the Stadium Course. Nothing else on Golf Now is even close....
