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.

Unforgiving narrow fairways and water welcomes you

Good layout course with narrow, unforgiving fairways and greens faster than bullet train. Lot of water hazards , par 3’s are with water ponds.

Not the Long Island golf course feel, too many houses very close to the tee boxes.

Play only if there is no other option.

Wind watch

Place is awesome. Some greens quicker than others only because of locations some open to sun some not so much. Overall AA+

Beautiful layout.

Under 4 hour round is always a plus. Especially on Long Island. Greens very fast. Group ahead of us were not making a mess of the bunkers.

Call before you play

It’s April so no course is in tip too shape yet you pay $90+ for this course for some reason. We thought maybe they were ahead of the curve but no, the course was not worth the money. To make matters worse they never said anything about the greens being aerated so that’s another kick in the balls when your paying that much and all over courses in the area are roughly $55-70. On multiple greens they had the sprinklers running also so you had to navigate around those. Just an overall disappoint when your charging that kind of money for a round.
