Farm Neck at Farm Neck Golf Club

Farm Neck, nestled on the serene island of Martha's Vineyard, possesses a charm that transcends the game itself; it is a place where power brokers, presidents, and personalities quietly test their games. Carved from former farmland near the coast, the course bears the hallmarks of a classic, early-1990s design, undulating gently through open meadows and pockets of mature oak and pine.

Architect Geoffrey Cornish shaped Farm Neck into a playable layout that favors strategic positioning over brute force, with the fairways generally generous but the approaches requiring considered club selection. While its length isn’t overwhelming, subtle doglegs and deceptively contoured greens demand careful navigation, particularly when the coastal breezes intensify.

More than just a golf course, Farm Neck reflects the understated elegance of Martha's Vineyard. The club is known for its unpretentious atmosphere, attracting a diverse membership drawn to the island's unique appeal and the course's low-key challenge. It is a place where you might overhear quiet conversations about global deals, or spot a former president enjoying a leisurely round, lending the club an aura of quiet distinction. Perhaps only outdone by their clambake.
