Wind Watch Golf & Country Club — Attraction in Town of Islip

We just had our wedding last Saturday and we are SO happy we found this hidden gem. Upon visiting the venue, we were blown away by the rolling greens and the beautiful backdrop of the North Shore. It was not until we met Kim Hint, the event planner and day of coordinator, that cemented our decision to go with Wind Watch. I am not going to lie, I have the highest expectations and have a bad case of bridezilla, but Kim was both so easy to work with and very on top of her game. She was organized, calm, detail-ed oriented, and able to multi-task. A lot of brides fail to factor in the importance of a great day of coordinator in their planning, but this may be one of the most important factors for the decision making process, because you have to trust that that person will keep the day organized, smooth, and stress-free for YOU.

I've lived in some of the food capitals of the world and was extremely nervous about country club food. I am not going to lie, I was still nervous after the food tasting at Wind Watch, but during the wedding day, Kim kicked it up a notch and showered my guests with a fresh and sophisticated o'dourves and dinner courses.

Lastly, I was blown away by their pricing. For a Saturday night in Long Island, they were priced below average, but had executed an above average wedding party.

Wind Watch was my the best decision I made through this whole wedding...

Finally the weather warmed up a bit, only just though and the snow melted enough for a few courses here in NYC to open for play. Found a deal online to play a course @windwatchgcc we've never played before, only 2 of us at 8.30 and only 2 others on the course seen all the way around. Considering the the cold and the recent snow coverage the course is in great shape. Greens were brilliant, great speed and very true. 2 holes playing down, the last, up hill, the rest on the flat, water in play on a large selection of holes and sand in play on every hole. For the quality of the course, it's a pity those that play it can't or won't bother repairing divots or pitch marks, it's your duty as a golfer to do it, so please don't forget to do this simple task 😠 Anyway excellent value today, happy to recommend this place for the $44 we played it today, can't go wrong at that price. One last thought, that driving range...

We attended a catered event here. Their food was phenomenal (only the salad was sub-par, a bit soggy). The waiters were all well groomed, well dressed, professional, and extremely polite and friendly. We had an infant and she was upset near the speakers so I had to move towards the back. They noticed and came up to me to ask if they could bring a table and my dinner back there. Not only did they move my plate and drink, but I wasn't forgotten they also continued to serve us in the back of the room. I was able to enjoy the atmosphere and food even though I had a fussy baby who needed to be nursed frequently. They went above and beyond what I would expect for a catered event and I cannot thank them enough for making a new mama feel comfortable enough to actually enjoy a formal public outing...
