Overview
Between the tranquil beaches of the Atlantic and the tidal marshes of the Intracoastal Waterway lies a secluded island paradise offering a resort and golf experience like no other.
Calm and competition live in harmony at Oak Marsh at Omnia Amelia Island Resort & Spa a classic Pete Dye-designed course built in 1972 and updated in 2025 by Beau Welling. Known for its tight fairways and small greens, the course meanders along serpentine salt marsh creeks and winds through a hammock of signature moss-draped heritage oaks for which Amelia Island is famous. The 6,500-yard, par-72 course has 14 holes with water hazards and numerous bulk-headed greens. A variety of bunkers add to the challenge, and a natural approach has been maintained with coquina shell cart paths, native plant life, and preserved habitats for the local wildlife. Off the links, experience true luxury at Omni Amelia Island Resort & Spa with oceanfront guest rooms, nine dining options from casual poolside fare to all-day brunch and specialty seasonal Steak Out dinners at Marché Burette, 23 tennis courts, the Cliff Drysdale tennis program and a full-service nature-inspired spa. Find an activity for every outdoor enthusiast with guided kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, Segway tours, fishing, mini golf, and trails for biking and jogging. For a more laid-back vibe, settle into a quiet spot at the multi-tiered pool deck including an adult-only infinity edge pool or disconnect and recharge on an uncrowded beach.
Little Sandy at Omni Amelia Island Resort & Spa
Little Sandy’s short, 10-hole course encircles Red Maple Lake, providing a picturesque and efficient round perfect for those seeking a fun and memorable golfing experience on Amelia Island. Experienced golfers will still find a challenge at this approachable course, with the Beau Welling design featuring contoured greens and a dramatic island 10th hole that closes the round.
The Beau Welling design for Little Sandy was intentional to create an environment that promotes camaraderie and community. Playability and a fun atmosphere are emphasized to cater to families and those new to the game, but the course also offers strategic tests of golf and bold and contoured greens that will challenge more experienced golfers. One notable feature is the 10th hole that plays to an island green presenting a dramatic close to the round, even featuring a “hole-in-one” pin.
