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.

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.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Wind Watch Golf & Country Club.
Over priced
For January golf in NY, $89 for a round of golf is crazy.

Great course
This is a challenging yet rewarding course. Enjoyed the round. The leave situation was a bit over the top, but it was nice to be out there.
Course was gorgeous
Really would recommend to a friend for this course. Staff was very nice, very easy going, and very friendly. Played early in morning but finished the round in under 3 hours. The layout and course design is definitely top notch for LI public courses. My only complaint (and not really a complaint as I played on November 9th and understand it is Fall) is the excessive amount of leaves in the rough. I lost a bunch of balls in these massive piles. The staff was blowing the leafs off the fairway instead of picking them up. Otherwise tremendous course and DEFINITELY will be back next season.
Slow play at Wind Watch
Teed off last Wednesday around 1:30 wasn’t very crowded but got to 13 group in front of us was so slow 14 and 15 were wide open might need a ranger to keep people moving

Awesome expect for the pace
Course is excellent as always however I think we played a Friday morning round in just under 5 hours…
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Wind Watch Golf & Country Club. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another great experience!
Great Shape.
The course was in amazing shape considering most courses this time of yr are still primming and proping for the big crowds soon to come. This just tells me the care that goes into maintaining the course is year round at Wind watch. The staff was very pleasant and the carts were top notch, minus the GPS, but no loss since most of us have GPS watches and range finders. My only knock on the place was the 18th hole. Odd hole. Dog leg left. Landing spot for 2nd is severe uphill, may e 7 or 6 iron. The. Another uphill shot probably 8 or 9 iron. On the tee box at first glance, I was lost. So was my 5 wood. Lesson learned. Looking fwd to next time. Great course!
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course. We're glad you enjoyed your visit. Thank you for playing Wind Watch Golf & Country Club.
