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.

Fast greens

Overall, good pace and green is in prime condition. It explains the green fee. Can do better on range ball quantity for what you pay. Would be nice to offer walking rates. But green is great.

Wind Watch - 1st tee time

The rising sun was a challenge on the 1st hole - blinding!. The greens were in excellent condition! I wasn't ready for that having played other courses whose greens were considerably slower. The fairways are always tight so off the tee - a straight drive better be part of your game.

The only 2 drawbacks to the course were the divots from last year that have not been repaired. And the golfers that play there do NOT fix their ball marks on the green. I was the 6am tee time - I must have fixed a minimum of 4 per green.

A true gem on Long Island.

The course was in amazing condition. The greens had been cut and rolled. They were very fast and rolled true. Fairways and rough were cut. The carts were new and in great shape. The entire staff was very friendly and helpful. Super golf course.

Great Shape.

The course was in amazing shape considering most courses this time of yr are still primming and proping for the big crowds soon to come. This just tells me the care that goes into maintaining the course is year round at Wind watch. The staff was very pleasant and the carts were top notch, minus the GPS, but no loss since most of us have GPS watches and range finders. My only knock on the place was the 18th hole. Odd hole. Dog leg left. Landing spot for 2nd is severe uphill, may e 7 or 6 iron. The. Another uphill shot probably 8 or 9 iron. On the tee box at first glance, I was lost. So was my 5 wood. Lesson learned. Looking fwd to next time. Great course!

Really solid course!

The course shape & layout was really solid.

There was some really challenging holes which will test any golfer’s abilities.

Only hole I thought was quirky was hole 18.

Could be a better finishing hole.
