I've played at Rye when the wind was seriously blowing (it's right on the coast). The wind strength and direction was actually very predictable, I just found that aiming out of bounds takes some getting used to! And the fact that a perfectly struck driver barely goes 200 yards in to the wind.

That said, if you're not by the coast then there is no reason for the wind to be particularly strong.
