Description
Farm Neck Estates is a neighborhood of
wonderfully situated residences in the historic Martha's
Vineyard town of Oak Bluffs. The group of homes borders a
beloved Vineyard golf course favored by U.S. presidents and
traveling golfers of all skill levels.

Farm Neck's course is accented by water and other natural
highlights.

Designed by the dean of New England golf
course architects, Geoffrey Cornish, the championship course at
Farm Neck may be most famous for hosting both President Barack
Obama and President Bill Clinton.

Many famous people enjoy playing here.
Views and Challenge
With a postcard beauty but plenty of shotmaking challenge,
this mature and lushly maintained course stirs the golfing soul
with views of Sengekontacket Pond and wide island beaches. It
has a complete pro shop, upscale rental equipment and a driving
range.
Golfers at Farm Neck traverse a striking
variation of topography and vegetation—everything from
woodlands, to open meadows, to salt marshes, to stunning
overlooks and intimate brushes with the water's edge.

The water appears glass-like on a calm day.
Overlooking the first tee, the Farm Neck
Café offers casual dining from April through November. In
addition, the Café is available for private parties, receptions
and weddings either indoors or under the Farm Neck Tent.
No Place Quite Like The Vineyard
The Farm Neck club community—the golf course and adjoining
cluster of homes—rests on a peninsula of rolling farmland on the
eastern side of the Island, overlooking Nantucket Sound.
Tennis at Farm Neck is nearly as popular as
golf. The club has four outdoor Har-Tru courts and an active
program of lessons, clinics and tournaments for adults and
juniors, conducted by skilled and helpful teaching
professionals.
Land Preservation
This special island property is part of a decades-old effort
to preserve and protect 500 acres of land along the shores of
Sengekontacket Pond from over-development. The result, both as a
recreational and residential asset, has been judged a glowing
success.

Farm Neck works hard to preserve the natural beauty of
the area.
The Farm Neck Foundation is funded by
annual donations from Farm Neck members, friends and admirers.
Since its formation, the Foundation has made grants to
Islanders in need—over $600,000 to preserve, protect and promote
a precious way of life.

About Martha's
Vineyard
The Island of Martha's Vineyard covers 100 square miles, and
is home to both year-round and seasonal residents. Its unspoiled
charm is best exemplified by its scenic beaches, which vary from
protected, clear-water stretches to expanses of rumbling
Atlantic surf.
Each Island town is unique in its
geography, personality, and character. All blend together to
create this special place. Martha's Vineyard is home to many
visual and performance artists. Galleries dot the Island, from
Aquinnah to Edgartown.
Martha's Vineyard has a remarkable variety
of architecture that reflects its long colonial history, its
economic success in the whaling era, and its emergence as a
popular summer resort. Most of the Island's historical buildings
are still in use as homes and stores.

Edgartown lighthouse is a lovely attraction.
Oak Bluffs, which began as a Methodist Camp
Meeting site in 1834, has a very different style from the rest
of the Island. Visitors to the early meetings lived in tents,
but after the Civil War, the tents were replaced by permanent
Gingerbread houses.
Their combination of bright colors, stained
glass, turrets, and all manner of Gothic detail is
unforgettable. Trinity United Methodist Church (1878), in the
center of the Campgrounds, is a miniature wooden Gothic
cathedral.
The Cottage City Museum in the same area is
housed in one of the original homes, and gives one a real sense
of island history.
