What does “open in January” mean on this page?
It means the course's stated season overlaps at least one day in January. 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 20,005 courses. That is a course-season estimate, not a weather recommendation. Use Stymie's state golf-weather guides for climate and current-condition planning.

The estimate covers all 20,020 eligible courses. For courses without a usable season statement, Stymie applies the open rate among published courses in the same state for January, then rounds to a whole-course estimate. 9,303 courses are directly confirmed in the source data.
