Best Time to Play Golf
The most overlooked part of planning a golf trip is the weather. We score golf playability month-by-month for top courses and destinations using 1991–2024 of temperature, rain, wind and cloud data — then layer on a live 16-day golf forecast so you can pick the right week.

How the golf weather score works
Each destination is scored 0–100 from feels-like temperature (40%), dry-day frequency (25%), wind (20%), cloud/fog (10%) and humidity (5%) — tuned so comfortable temperatures, light winds and clear skies rank highest. Historical scores use ERA5 reanalysis (1991–2024); forecasts use Open-Meteo. Figures are regional, so read them as the seasonal pattern rather than hole-by-hole precision. Full methodology →
