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.

Beautiful Course!
The course has some of the best views I’ve seen on Long Island. The greens are a great speed and great condition. The fairway feels like a carpet and the rough is kept at a good length and is moist. I would definitely play there again.
Terrific! Thank you for your kind words. We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Wind Watch Golf & Country Club.

Too many players
Too many geese too many players

Supply and demand: location, location, location
The location of the course is very convenient to a whole lot of golfers and there’s the rub. Right off the expressway in the middle of densely packed Long Island. They can get away with charging a relatively high price for a public course. It’s a pretty good but not great course. It’s interesting but not compelling. Conditions are good considering how much play it gets. You will probably enjoy your round, but be prepared to open up the wallet for the convenience.

Outstanding experience
Short of being in a private club, this is the next best thing.
Well maintained course, great staff and a real fine restaurant. It is great to be able to enjoy a wonderful club in these trying times.

Pleasant track with challenging holes
Great condition. Good value. The only complaint I have is the 18th hole. Very strange layout. A little bit too strenuous and dangerous to walk from cart, path down strep hill to reach the fairway.
Wonderful! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Wind Watch Golf & Country Club. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!

Tight, beautiful, challenging course in L.I.
Beautiful course. Reminds me of many courses I've played in PA & FL (golf course holes laid out within houses/residential community). Tight course, with plenty of hazards and water areas in play.
A bit steep, price wise, but not so obscene.
Friendly staff, tip top golf carts... 18th hole layout is a tough uphill trek! This course is definitely a course to use a cart (a lot of distance in between many of the holes).
Excellent! Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Wind Watch Golf & Country Club.
