Wind Watch Golf & Country Club

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
Great course!
Would definitely recommend this course. The course conditions were great. The course layout is beautiful and challenging.
Head of me there were two players made me crazy
Every holes, fairways and greens maintained well.
I was not enjoying the game because head of me 2 golfers played as they were in private golf course. They didn’t care about other players. They were hitting golf ball twice. No rangers were kept moving slow golfers.
Great course
Narrow due to tree on either side. Greens still recovering 3 wks after aeration. Hole 9 green is too fast and sloped.
Worst Experience Ever
The course allowed people who have never played before to walk on the course right in front of us. They were hitting multiple range balls and even had the basket with them. We tried to call the pro shop but no one answered for 3 holes until they finally called back. We asked these people to play through, they did not understand what that meant as they hit up on us and missed hitting us by a few feet. The course finally sent out 2 young people they said they were part of a scramble but there was no one else in front of us. When we complained about them hitting up on us they laughed and said this not a big deal. When the cart girl came by we told her what was going on and she got a starter who was actually not working and was playing to come by, he apologized and chased them off the course. They then showed up on another hole. We found out the golf pro and his assistant had left the course and Club Corp replaced them with 2 young kids and these kids let these people jump on the course because they were their friends. If this is how the course is going to be run, do not play here. I play there almost every week and with the cost of their green fees I expect more and respect for the staff. Next season I will look to take my golf rounds elsewhere.
Overpriced
I will only play here during the off-season because during the summertime this place is way overpriced. This course is not nearly worth the price that they ask for - maybe $90 during peak season but $120-130 really? If you want to play a decent course and get ripped off in the same day play this place June-Sept.
Great Course, but
Windwatch is a great course, but for starters they were out of charged carts when we got there so had to wait on that, and then one of play was horrible. 3 groups in front of us were so slow, took us 3 hours to finish front 9, we didn’t even get to finish back 9. The group directly in front of us was really bad, just not even trying to move at a good pace and nothing was done about it. Disappointing because Windwatch is one of the nicer public courses around.
Fun course
Great course and layout. It was a shame all the snack stations were closed and I couldn’t get any help in the restaurant. Was very hungry in the round.
Dazed and confused
The course layout got me dizzy your routed all over the place some good holes mixed in w strange holes If you a goose lover and I don’t mean gray goose You will really really feel like you got goosed by the price Worst hot dog I’ve ever eaten at the turn No other options like sandwich
Not a happy camper here I’m not ever going back
Cheers I’m playing Bethpage today Any course I can get on I can’t end my weekend w the blow hard wind watch
One of the Top Courses in Long Island
First time here. Great course. Definitely worth the price. Will definitely not back.
bad shape dont play
The course itself having played several times this year was POOR . The staff wants your money and does not care about refunds as it being the golfers problem since you booked through golf now. We played early before 8 AM . The tee boxes were aerated without any notification from Golf now or the staff when booking or even when signing in !!! . Sand traps were not raked for days it appeared as sprinkler marks were over the large foot prints!! During the round you could hear loud speakers going off for announcements that was garbled and disturbing your round . The fairways were loaded with divots, no dirt repair on the carts or tee areas. The place was an overall MESS. The foursome in front of us obviously could not pick up their feet on the green as on EVERY hole there were scuff marks by the hole . As someone who plays other courses this BAD!!!And GOLF NOW listened to the complaint but will probably do nothing. Dont book them.
Feels like I'm on vacation
The staff and the course layout makes me feel like I'm on vacation. Very good condition, and interesting holes with a good amount of water and well placed sand traps.
Carts didn't have GPS which was a little disappointing but other than that the amenities were great.

We’re glad to hear the course gave you that vacation vibe! It’s great to know you enjoyed the layout and conditions. We appreciate your feedback about the GPS and will keep it in mind as we look to improve. Thanks for playing with us, and we hope to see you back soon!
