About this course

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.

Getting there

Farm Neck Golf Club sits on Martha's Vineyard, an island destination that demands a deliberate crossing - a transition that heightens the sense of arrival. Most guests fly into Boston Logan International (BOS), roughly seventy miles northeast, then drive south to Woods Hole in Falmouth to catch the car ferry across Vineyard Sound, a crossing that takes forty-five minutes and marks the true threshold into island life. Those traveling by private aviation can land at Martha's Vineyard Airport (MVY), a mere ten minutes by car from the clubhouse in Oak Bluffs. The final drive threads through the island's quiet, tree-lined roads - a gentle deceleration from the mainland - before opening onto the windswept moorland and salt-marsh vistas that define this storied New England course.
