About Farm Neck

From New England Golf Guide

"Do you love golf-as-a-setting? If so, you'll enjoy Farm Neck.

Down a curving driveway, shaded by Vineyard oaks and evergreens limited in height by the prevailing Atlantic winds, you will come to a special place, Farm Neck Golf Club. It's understated, but elegant, from the design of the scorecards and signage, to the shaded putting greens, to the wide open first fairway--it almost lulls you into a sense of calm.

But beware: this is a course that will test you many times over the hours of your round. Enjoy; inhale the beauty; but do not underestimate your seductive foe.

Farm Neck opened with nine holes in 1979, added the second nine a year later, and has garnered fans ever since. The highly varied--yet cohesive--design is the cumulative work of Geoffrey Cornish, Bill Robinson, and Patrick Mulligan.

The course offers 4 sets of tees, playing a demanding 6815 (72.6/133) from the golds, a challenging 6301 (70.2/131) from the blues, 5859 (69.3/129) from the whites, and 4987 (64.3/118) from the reds. 129 slope at 5859 yards? What does that mean? It means this course, while offering usually generous landing areas, really places a premium on course management.

Water is threatening, or in play, on nine of the holes, and deep bunkers also punish those whose aspirations overreach their abilities. The course is a visual delight, with many holes running along the Vineyard Sound, and others running through meadows and marshes, with water, sand, wetlands, and wildlife keeping you alert all day long."
