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.”
