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 pace of play, wasn’t too busy

Good to see a lot of workers on the course, the only negative, which in a long run will be a positive is the tees were top dressed.

What happened???

I haven’t played this course in many years and was shocked by its poor condition. Granted it’s early but this not a well maintained course. Divots everywhere! Not filled in. Sand traps with rakes in center of trap and not groomed in weeks if not months. Virtually no staff. Golf carts without water in ball cleaners. This is a bad public course but once was a proud property
