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
Get what you paid for
Overall nice course. Green is fast and pristine. Friendly staff. Has range and putting green. As a walker will always prefer to walk but ride only. Did upgrade carts recently. Tight holes and water force carries. Long 225 yds par 3 in back nine. Recommend it.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of our course. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that you enjoyed the fast and pristine greens, friendly staff, and our range and putting green. We apologize if there were any challenges with tight holes and water carries, and we appreciate your recommendation.
Outstanding public course- beautiful and challenging with great staff and pro:) !!!
I only wish, since I am in my 8th decade that I could pay and walk nine holes with my push cart for exercise:) If that were possible, I would pay to do so 5 of 7 days!!!
This is beautiful course and challenging (though I now have mover from the blue to white to the senior tees:)
The Head Pro and the entire staff and maintenance crew are phenomenally helpful and the conditions outstanding! They have an amazing dog, Roscoe who eliminates the Geese and their excrements that are found on many courses of Long Island. The Food and beverage at the Seasons Grill is spectacularly delicious for players either mid round or at the end of 18 with great TV options of viewing and variety whether solo or with large groups of friends (or new friends you meet on this course:)

Similar to past experiences
Great layout…except the 18th hole…9th green needs to be adjusted. The day we played the greens speed / hole locations made some of the putts laughable. Someone upset the groundskeeper lol

Windwatch - Florida feel on LI
Such a great course! Very well-maintained. The staff is very pleasant. We play here 2-3x a year. We love it! The 10th tee is one of my favorite tee boxes on all of Long Island. Gorgeous. And the houses on the course give it that Florida feel.
