Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time to play Farm Neck Golf Club for ideal conditions and fewer crowds?

We always recommend late May or early September for Farm Neck. You'll catch the course in prime condition with lush greens and fairways, and the summer crowds on Martha's Vineyard will have either not yet arrived or already departed, making for a more relaxed round. The shoulder seasons offer that perfect balance of great weather and easier tee time access.

What kind of challenge can I expect at Farm Neck, and what makes its layout unique?

Farm Neck offers a really enjoyable challenge that's fair for most handicaps, but don't let its beauty fool you-it demands precision. You'll find a fantastic mix of tree-lined holes and those stunning, exposed holes along Sengekontacket Pond, where the wind becomes your biggest adversary. The course truly shines with its strategic bunkering and those memorable water views.

Is playing Farm Neck an expensive experience, and is it worth the green fee?

Let's be direct-Farm Neck, like most things on Martha's Vineyard, isn't cheap, especially during peak season. Expect green fees to be on the higher side, but we firmly believe it's worth every penny for the quality of the course and the unforgettable island setting. Consider it an investment in a truly special golf day, not just another round.

Which holes at Farm Neck offer the most spectacular views or unique playing experiences?

You absolutely cannot miss the stretch from holes 10 through 12-they are the heart of Farm Neck's visual appeal. The 10th and 11th play right along Sengekontacket Pond, offering breathtaking water vistas, especially when the breeze is up. The par-3 12th, with its elevated tee and pond backdrop, is a true postcard moment you'll want to savor.

How difficult is it to secure a tee time at Farm Neck, especially if I'm not a member?

Getting a tee time at Farm Neck can be tricky, particularly in July and August, so plan ahead. We strongly advise booking well in advance-think weeks, not days-to secure your preferred slot, especially if you're visiting during the high season. While it's a semi-private club, public play is welcomed, but early booking is key to avoid disappointment.
