You kind of already answered your own question.

Shots over 150 yards you're looking at playing upwards of double for the wind, just like you suspected. But, it's usually somewhere between 1.5 and 2, and favors the higher adjustment with higher lofted shots; and this also applies to crosswinds.

However, once you get up do the Woods and Driver the wind doesn't play quite that much, probably closer to 1/1, if not a bit more depending on the chosen trajectory of your shot.

A trick that you can try when practicing is to turn on all of the game assists, which are provided on the easier difficulty settings... because I believe it auto adjusts for the wind and lie. Then you can zoom in and take note of how far the game caddie adjusted for you. If the lie was flat, then you will know exactly how much was adjusted for wind.

For a headwind, add 1 or 2 clubs (e.g. if the normal shot would be a 9 iron, use an 8 or possibly a 7 iron) depending on strength of wind. I would say anything up to 10 MPH would be 1 club, anything 10 MPH or above would be 2 clubs. Winds below 5 MPH are fairly negligible. For side winds, If the wind is coming from the right, use a fade to hit into it. If from the left, use a draw. For a following wind, use 1 or 2 clubs less depending on strength. After you play for awhile you will figure out which club to use.

My general rule of thumb is at an 8mph wind I adjust for a full landing circle's distance. Adjust for height seperately.

It's a calculus problem - change over time - so the longer the shot and the stronger the wind the more effect it has on your shot - also the angle of the wind matters - go into a private match and play with the settings to practice
