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.

Cancellation issue
I am a physician and was mandated to work in the hospital for the COVID-19 pandemic. I could not cancel even trying 4 days before. Very disappointed!!!

Nice Beginning on a Cold Daye
I had played this course many times. First time walking it due to COVID. It is tough walk due to the Course being built between houses in spots. Also long walk between 9 and 10. Course was in good shape. It was aerated at the endogenous last month and has grown in nicely.
Fantastic! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Wind Watch Golf & Country Club. We look forward to seeing you at the course soon for another 5-star experience!

Nice round good pace of play
I have played this course many times before but this was the first time I walked it. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, no motorized carts and no amenities open. Course was in very good shape but a few holes had a lot of leaves on it and two or three holes had some repairs going on with workers on the course. Overall a pretty nice course and I enjoy playing it but not a course I like to walk ordinarily. Pace of play was very good and only had to wait on holes about 3 times. The course has a few holes with some very steep hills, but overall mostly flat. Some challenging holes and greens were in very good shape.
Great! Thank you for visiting us at Wind Watch Golf & Country Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.

Golf was great. Just not understanding why courses don't have there half way house opened. Ever 7-11, Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks and Mom and Pop places are opened. Just a thought

Country club feel
Great course. Plays like a private club. Mint condition, even after aeration. Lots of water and nicely kept bunkers. 1st and 10th holes really memorable downhill shots with amazing tee box views. A lot of forced water carries makes it fun, especially on the par 3's. Every hole is playable from the tips at 6600 yards. There's 2 stupid holes... 15th par 3 is 250 yards from the back tees making it a driver shot on a par 3?? And the 18th par 4 is straight uphill with a dogleg left that makes even a perfect drive roll way down to the right for a nasty approach. It's also more expensive than sister course Willow Creek, which is a much more interesting layout. But overall... probably top 5 public courses in the area.
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.
