Wind Watch Golf & Country Club

Very good course challenging conditions and an abundance of hazards. Course was windy the day I played.

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.

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.

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!

Just two years ago, this was a top-notch golf course. It was one of my favorite places to play. I can’t believe how bad it’s gotten. The tee boxes are absolutely torn to shreds – as are the fairways. A few holes must’ve had about 50 divots from 60 yards out. The fairways are infested with them. . I’ve played all of the municipal courses in the area and this is in worse shape than those or at least just as bad. But those courses don’t charge over $100 to play. They should be embarrassed to ask for that.

Worst of all was the pace of play. At about five hours and 15 minutes, I left the course after an excruciatingly slow 14 holes. When I returned my cart, I asked if they ever put a Ranger out on the course and they dismissively snickered at the idea. The two workers basically said “ that’s too bad, it gets busy sometimes.”

I’m not sure if the course is under new management, but it definitely should be. Proceed with extreme caution, but if you do play – remind them that they need a Ranger

Course is in great shape.

Good facilities with driving range and chipping area, although far apart.

With this caliber of a course, and price, you would think they would have GPS on their golf carts.

The only course layout ugliness is the sharp dogleg finishing hole. Odd for an 18th hole.

Because 3 players were behind our group. A ranger made us to skip par 3 hole. We paid high cost of green fee and didn’t play a hole. It was so embarrassing moment and made us so upset. Instead skipping a hole we could let them go through. We were not so slow. We finished rounding 18 holes by 4 hours and 10 minutes. It’s my first time to push me skipping hole in my golf life. It was very uncomfortable and unforgettable experience.

Nice course paths with potholes broken up bridge and needvof TLC. Course maintained. Staff extra nice.

Stunning views and well Kept course. Staff is always friendly. A bunch of the holes do not allow carts on the fairway which slows things up.

I used to love this course. Making the drive out from Nassau was never an issue bc I was always blown away with the course. The layout is great, truthfully. I just wish the maintenance was held to a higher standard. But wow, what a fall off. To begin, my buddy and I pulled up to the grass range ready to hit balls and so we do, until we got yelled at for hitting off the grass instead of mats meanwhile there are no signs saying otherwise. The mats on the range are behind a slope so any low lofted clubs just hit the hill that’s in front of you. Practice greens were closed. To add to the lack of awareness, there was nothing prior to booking telling us that greens were aerated and that the course was cart path only on a course where it’s mandatory and bullsh!t to take a cart for $20 a rider when its cart path only. The fairways were full of unrepaired divots and the teeboxes were not in that great of shape. No wonder the pace of play is great (because no one wants to play it). For such a premium price, I just expect more.

While this course has always been on the expensive side - it was always worth it but not anymore! Looks like they have really given up as far as maintenance and keeping up the course conditions . Greens were punched weeks ago but no follow up work so still bumpy with holes . Fairways bare in spots , bunkers not raked , broken rakes at some traps - there was a dead squirrel on a cart path. My cart died after 5 holes - the one person working there came out to replace it - when I mentioned my thoughts he said " I cant disagree". NOT ONE MAINTENANCE PERSON SEEN THE ENTIRE ROUND. No water anywhere, halfway house looked shuttered , no starter just a girl sitting in pro shop taking money. Work being done on locker room but as far as the course - zero. Totally not worth the price anymore . Played Bethpage today- $43 and it was like a country club .. this was like a muni that they are looking to sell off. After the round we wanted to grab a beer - were told its closed so had to go to hotel - even though the carts advertised a special at the course bar . When giving in the cart we told a guy our thoughts and he said pretty sarcastically - Ill tell the GM .

For a course that has always been on the expensive side ,you at least felt you got your moneys worth- well not anymore.

No info that the Greens were punched or a discount that some courses offer -ok , then found out it was almost 3 weeks ago and they were still in bad condition shows no follow up work was done at all which was the theme all over. Fairways in bad condition , bunkers never raked ,

Broken rakes at some bunkers -literally not one maintenance person anywhere to be seen. While lots of construction being done to the locker rooms - nothing to the course. Looks like they have really given up while still charging $100. There was a dead squirrel on a cart path for f sakes !! No Cart , ok No halfway house open no water available anywhere to fill my bottle on 85 degree day. . My cart was dying after 5 holes - thankfully I got the one employee working there to bring me a new one. When I mentioned it to the person his response was - I can't disagree. No starter just a girl collecting money in pro shop -

NOT WORTH THE MONEY ANYMORE - pretty frustrating

conditions are good for the early season. I did not miss many traps or water hazards. Seems like no one other than myself had raked a trap. Good overall, hopefully it improves.

Started at 3:20 and was only able to get 9 in. Pace of play was extremely slow. Asked for a rain check for the back 9 and they couldn’t accommodate. Fun layout just really slow play
