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.

I live in Levittown I’m a senior i have 2 golf courses in 10 minutes from my house Eisenhower has 3 courses and Bethpage has 5 and I can play for a lot less but I did enjoy your course very challenging just to far away for the price and if you’re not hitting the course well make you pay. I’m out to have fun…

Worst staff

These are the worst staffs of any golf course I've been to.
In order for this golf course to be loved by customers again, the staff will have to be replaced.

Great track for winter golf.

I’ve been playing on Long Island all my life and now I live near Bethpage. I play there. Mostly in the summertime because of location but wind watch is definitely my second favorite course. It’s never too packed and the course conditions are awesome every time.
