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.

Piece of play was a little slow ranger asked us to play faster, but we obviously could not play through the group in front of us who was painstakingly slow the entire day.

This course has everything
Very convenient location, Good layout, Friendly staff, Driving range, putting green, restaurant...a great place to spend a day.
PS Bathroom and locker room need to clean up more frequently but it's not dirty or unacceptable conditions.

Great facility overall
Good experience. A bit costly compared to a certain 5-course state park on the Nassau-Suffolk line, which is also an outstanding, well-maintained facility, but Wind Watch is quite good in its own right. Went in the afternoon on a Saturday, started on time. A bit of backup in front of us made for a 4.5 hour round, not bad. Good mix of tee boxes that seem to be fair to a variety of player types. A bit disappointed that it's cart-only, as I do love walking. But the carts' club-washers, ball-washers, and divot filler bottles are nice adds. No GPS screens as in some places, but these practical add-ons were useful. The range is good. Challenging course, lots of water and plenty of frustratingly-placed bunkers that really make you think over your shot decisions. I personally played terribly but enjoyed the experience. Helpful, attentive staff. I'd absolutely play again.
Thank you for your review! We appreciate your feedback and we're glad to hear that you had a good experience playing at Wind Watch. We understand your point about the cost and we apologize if it seemed a bit high compared to other facilities. We value your business and hope to see you again soon.
Challenging
Nice course. Some challenging holes. Greens were a little slow, but it rained hard the night before.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the slower greens, as the heavy rain the night before may have affected their speed. We appreciate your feedback and hope you had an enjoyable experience overall on our challenging course.
Nice course
Friendly staff and the course was in good shape, except the geese do leave a mess in spots

Great course
We had a lot of fun playing here together. The pace, course layout, conditions, etc. there was nothing to complain about, but maybe because it rained early in the morning, it was 'cart path only'. If they suggest some discount when it's cart path only, it would be much more reasonable. Other than that, everything was great, and I would like to play here again.
Thank you for your review and for enjoying your time at our business. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the "cart path only" situation due to the rain, and appreciate your suggestion for a discount in such circumstances. We hope to welcome you back for another great experience soon.
