Wind Watch Golf & Country Club
About
Although it is located in Hauppauge on Long Island's North Shore, Wind Watch Golf Club possesses the look and feel of a destination course. Sprawling across a lush, rolling landscape covered with sparkling ponds, the course is as challenging as it is scenic. Water hazards come into play on 12 holes and there are more than 75 bunkers, some of which are massive in size, strategically placed throughout. Almost every hole presents golfers with a unique risk-reward opportunity. The golf course begins and ends at its highest point, which is one of the island's highest elevations. Wind Watch's closing hole provides a memorable finish as the only dogleg on the course. This par 4 takes a sharp left before climbing uphill to the triple-tiered green that is protected by three enormous traps.

what a view from the 18th green Photo submitted by Richard5321 on 11/02/2013
Dumpster Fire
Solid layout with some fun holes, but awful pace, closed putting green, closed driving range, closed grill, inexperienced staff. Beverage cart didn't take credit card because of card processing issues. The course put out a slow-moving youth event without blocking out additional tee times for how slow they moved. 5+ hours. Dropped a head cover that was never returned. F minus. This goes on my "never again" list.
Wind watch
Golf course was very good and everything went well. We enjoyed the round pretty good.
Positive
Staff/ starter were great! Walked in, they had my reservation and the process was seamless. The starter was friendly and got us out a few minutes early. Course was in very good shape. Tee boxes looked good, and the greens were in great shape. Overall the course was in very good shape, well manicured and honest conditions. I spent to much time in the sand, but that’s not the courses fault. I’d reccomend the course and golf pass.
Snails Pace
Played on Saturday July11, 2026:
- there was no “starter” controlling the first tee.
- we tee’d off 35 minutes late
- they were short carts
- not including our 35 delayed start, the round took 5 hours and 45 min.
- every par-3 was backed up 3 (4 some) waiting.
- no rangers floating around to help keep pace.
- course was in decent shape.
Challenging course
Challenging course with some narrow fairways, water carries, and fast greens. Course was in great shape, a pleasure to play. Took 4.5 hours midday Friday. Cart girl came around a lot, halfway house good. Cart made a noise, but otherwise good- no gps though.
Cool course lined with trees & water
Very cool course. I loved the layout of the 16th hole. I didn’t like the layout for the ending 18th hole. Uphill, 90 degree tee shot.
Father’s Day
I have played here before. The course is well maintained and the staff is very friendly. Greens are fast. It’s a definite must play. I wish the carts had GpS.
This course is for skilled golfers
Brought a buddy in from Queens turned him on to this course he loved it elevation changes plenty of water holes and bunkers great challenge for him he now wants more Long Island Golf!!
Awesome course
Very good course challenging conditions and an abundance of hazards. Course was windy the day I played.
Get It Together
This course cancelled a tee time on me less than 2 days before a federal holiday when every tee time within a 50 mile radius has been booked for weeks. I made the tee time weeks ago (like everyone else anticipating the holiday) and this course cancelled the tee time saying there was a tournament on that day. Absolutely ridiculous. Never playing here again.
Questionable Course Conditions
I've played Windwatch many times over the last 20 years and this was the poorest kept I've ever seen it.
The tee boxes were littered with broken tees to the point that the groundskeepers should've left a rake to clear a spot for tee off. The greens were exceptionally fast and loaded with pebbles from previous air rating -- they looked like they haven't seen a blower in a week. The fairways were ok, but the fringes seemed in disrepair (so if you hit a stray shot here or there, good chance you'll be hitting off missing grass).
If the course is gonna charge full fee, the least they could do is maintain the tees and greens.
Not worth the green fees, brutal pace
My son and I went out as a double for 1:00pm tee time. A threesome if young kids were in front of us, in front of them was a single. Behind us was another double. I asked the double if they wanted to join us - no. Starter should do a better job of grouping to make foursomes - and stop letting people tee off earlier in front of people with set tee times. Plus, the pace of play was brutal. We wound up skipping 3 holes just to get through only to be behind even more players and finally left after the 13th hole. Brutal!
