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.

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.

Top notch course

Challenging course. Even short holes have difficult greens. 2 were too fast. 1st had a big false front and the hole was just above where it started to fall off. 9th was sloping down left a lot. Very hard to get a birdie.

First Time Playing

It’s definitely windy

Good views, good pace of place. Greens were fast but that’s to be expected at this time of year. Course was in good shape, range was nice as well.

Good amount of water and bunkers, with white tees offering a range of distances for each type of par. It is definitely a windy course especially at the higher points of the course. Would recommend to all players.
