Model basis: 77% of eligible courses directly publish a usable season. Estimates are directional planning aids; confirm a course's current schedule before traveling.

Which month has the most courses stating they are open?

June currently has the highest nationwide state-average estimate: 19,701 courses. That is the strongest estimated US course availability—not necessarily the best weather in every state.

Golf in April: frequently asked questions

Where can I play golf in April?

14,729 US golf courses directly state that they are open in April. Applying each state's published-course open rate to the rest of its directory produces an estimated 19,159 open courses. The largest state estimates are Florida (1,453), California (1,170), Texas (1,027).

Are Arizona golf courses open in winter?

Many Arizona courses operate during winter. Stymie's state-average availability estimates are December: 432; January: 431; February: 431. Check the individual course and tee-time availability before traveling.

What does “open in April” mean on this page?

It means the course's stated season overlaps at least one day in April. It does not mean every day is available, the course accepts public play, or weather and maintenance conditions permit a round.

What is the best month of the year for a US golf trip?

June has the highest nationwide state-average availability estimate at 19,701 courses. That is a course-season estimate, not a weather recommendation. Use Stymie's state golf-weather guides for climate and current-condition planning.

How complete are the April golf-course counts?

The estimate covers all 19,716 eligible courses. For courses without a usable season statement, Stymie applies the open rate among published courses in the same state for April, then rounds to a whole-course estimate. 14,729 courses are directly confirmed in the source data.
