No.

Farm Neck is a great course to play. I've played it 100's of times.

Edgartown Golf Club is pretty great too, although it's really only a 14 hole golf course and private.

Vineyard Golf Club is the newer, more private course, that had a permit that required it be 100% Organic. Didn't work.

Farm Neck was Bill Clinton's favorite golf course, until he and some of his friends (Owen Larkin & others), came up with a scam to build Vineyard Golf Club, so they had their own course to play on. Gil Hanse renovated the club about 8-10 years ago and I understand it's now a decent course. Golf Magazine voted it Best New Course in the US, back in 2015. The original design was uninspiring.
