Washington golf weather — frequently asked
When is the best time to play golf in Washington?
August, July, June, September score highest in Stymie's 12-month planning model near Spokane. The model combines NASA POWER typical temperature, estimated dew point, precipitation, and wind; conditions vary across Washington, so use the city forecast before booking.
What dew point is comfortable for golf in Washington?
Dew points under 60°F are generally comfortable for golf. Below 50°F feels dry and crisp. Above 70°F, wet grips, heat stress, and dehydration matter more, although humid air itself is slightly less dense and does not make the ball fly shorter.
How does altitude affect golf in Washington?
