Rating 72.4

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.

Challenging

Challenging golf course but great to play and in superb condition! Greens were amazing. Bunkers were some of the best I’ve seen for a public course in Long Island. A pleasure to play but not easy with some steep elevation changes and fast greens. Bring your A game!

Painfully Slow

1 young guy working the golf course! Golfers moving too slowly. Poor job with the leaves! Sand traps were brutal! Worst golf experience in decades. Way overpriced!

Very slow round. Some holes unplayable

Very Very slow round. Hole #1 is completely unplayable for anyone who cannot hit a snap draw. Please see photo for hole #1 tee box. Greens were rolling well and course conditions were fine. Ranger called on hole 2 to enforce pace of play, and did not see him the rest of the entire round, and the pace worsened.
