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.

Great course

This is a challenging yet rewarding course. Enjoyed the round. The leave situation was a bit over the top, but it was nice to be out there.

First Time Playing

Course was gorgeous

Really would recommend to a friend for this course. Staff was very nice, very easy going, and very friendly. Played early in morning but finished the round in under 3 hours. The layout and course design is definitely top notch for LI public courses. My only complaint (and not really a complaint as I played on November 9th and understand it is Fall) is the excessive amount of leaves in the rough. I lost a bunch of balls in these massive piles. The staff was blowing the leafs off the fairway instead of picking them up. Otherwise tremendous course and DEFINITELY will be back next season.
