About
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.

what a view from the 18th green Photo submitted by Richard5321 on 11/02/2013
Nice fun golf course
Course is always in good shape. It was a little drier and faster than normal than I remember but that's because we haven't had much rain lately.
I played with my wife who didn't love it because there are many sand traps and she hasn't yet mastered her sand game
Most difficult first hole on LI?
This course is maintained exceptionally well and is what I’d consider very challenging due to bunker placement, water hazards, elevation changes and beautiful but very fast greens. We played from the whites and the tee box was positioned to the left next to the blue tees — a very challenging tee if you’re not able to draw a ball with your middle irons. It’s about the 10th time I’ve played it and it doesn’t seem to get any easier…
Wind Watch Disappointed
I have played Wind Watch several times because I live right around the corner. It was always one of the nicest courses that I played, and I recommended it to everyone I know. I stopped playing because their prices are so outrageous for a round of golf and then I got a hot deal this past Sunday for $85 so I couldn’t turn it down. I was really shocked and upset to see the amount of litter on the course. The tea boxes were not in good shape. The driving range was not in good shape. There was so much geese feces which I had never seen before because they always had a dog to chase away the birds, and that was one of the things I like the most about the course. The bridges that lead to some of the holes are broken down and rickety. I was just really disappointed in the shape of the course for a semi private course that charges $150 for a round of golf on a normal basis is a disgrace so I will not play there again
Fun Summer Day at Windwatch!
Very nice course in Excellent shape! Lots of sand traps. Great views. Highly recommend .
Wind Watch
Very well maintained course. Extremely courteous staff. Lunch was very good. I’m surprised that the carts didn’t have GPS. I would definitely play it again.
First time
After years of passing up on the Wind Watch because of the price, travel time and a plethora of other courses. Finally made it there for an afternoon round. The course set up is fun. The course looked OLD and TIERD.... tee boxes were beat up and the greens resemble a land mine field. NOBODY fixes their divots.
In all it was a good round, but I can play a course in better shape for a cheaper price.
Good choice
Nice course. A bit challenging. Cart paths can get a little convoluted finding the next tee box on alone or two holes. Staff was exceptionally nice, very nice facilities, course was in great shape. Would definitely recommend and repeat.
Course is beautiful. Great staff.
The course is beautiful. But the staff went above and beyond. We showed up 30 minutes early as a two some. The starter came out and had had out and on our way 15 minutes early. Granted it was 5:45 AM, But I’ve never had anyone anywhere seem to care about our conveniences as much as they did. For $133 I was so happy, would’ve paid $180+
