Frequently Asked Questions

When is the ideal time to plan a golf trip to Dukes County for the best experience?

We highly recommend visiting Dukes County in the shoulder seasons - late May to mid-June or early September to mid-October. You'll find the weather absolutely perfect for golf, the courses are in prime condition, and you'll avoid the peak summer crowds and prices that can make the island feel a bit overwhelming.

What kind of budget should I expect for a golf trip to Dukes County? Is it generally expensive?

Dukes County is a premium destination, so plan accordingly; it's not a budget golf trip. Green fees at the public courses are reasonable for the quality, but accommodation, dining, and especially ferry transportation for your car can add up quickly. Expect to pay a bit more for the unique island experience and top-notch course conditions.

With only four courses in Dukes County, what's the access like for visitors, and what kind of golf can I expect?

While two of the four courses are private, you have excellent public options at Farm Neck Golf Club and Mink Meadows Golf Club, both offering distinct experiences. Farm Neck is a stunning, championship-caliber track with incredible water views, while Mink Meadows provides a charming, more traditional New England layout that's a joy to walk. You'll find both offer a fantastic challenge and memorable island golf.

What's the best way to get to Dukes County with my golf clubs, and how easy is it to get between courses?

Getting to Dukes County with your clubs means taking the ferry from Woods Hole, and we strongly advise booking your car reservation months in advance, especially for peak season. Once on the island, the courses are relatively close, making it easy to get around by car, taxi, or even ride-share services. Just factor in a bit of island time for travel between towns.

Besides golf, what else should I make time for when visiting Dukes County?

You absolutely must explore the charming towns like Edgartown and Oak Bluffs, known for their unique architecture and vibrant harbors. We also suggest spending time on the beautiful beaches, visiting the iconic lighthouses, and indulging in the incredible fresh seafood. The island offers a perfect blend of relaxation and activity beyond the fairways.
