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 but ….

The geese ruin the course. There was goose excrement on the greens. For the cost, the course should be in tip top shape all around.

Good course, bad amenities

Surprise 1. no bag drop.

Surprise 2. no place to get a quick bite to eat.

Surprise 3. No beverage cart.

Surprise 4. No water stations.

That being said, the course was in good condition and a lot of fun. Pace of play was great as there weren’t many people on the course.

Next time I go back, I’ll remember to bring snacks and water.
