Wind Watch Golf & Country Club

Wind Watch Golf & Country Club in Hauppauge, New York, is one of Long Island’s most scenic inland courses, an 18-hole, par 71 layout spanning 6,405 yards that blends championship design with resort-style amenities. Originally built by Joe Lee in 1971 and refreshed by Stephen Kay in 1997, this ClubCorp daily-fee facility sits near the Hyatt Regency Long Island, anchored by lush tree-lined fairways and water everywhere—12 lakes and ponds with fountains, plus a cascading waterfall and distant, windswept views from the club’s high points. The opening hole is a straightaway par 4, testing accuracy from the start; the 6th is a dramatic water carry over pond and bunkers; the 11th is a risk-reward 311-yard par 4 to the green guarded by water and OB. The back nine even ends with a rare water-free hole and a demanding three-tier green. With 70 bunkers and generous practice facilities, Wind Watch challenges every level of player. Seasons Grill rounds out the experience. Tee times available via GolfWithBrio.
