Eighteen precipitation days — tied for the wettest month of the year — is the number that reshapes how you approach golf in Akron in March. Temperatures finally reach an average high of 52°F, a full 11 degrees warmer than February, so playable windows exist. But with 13.4 mph peak wind making it the windiest month of the year and 18 rainy days spread across 31, the calendar punishes anyone who books and forgets.
The daily temperature swing of 19°F (low of 33°F up to 52°F) is the other variable serious players track. Morning tee times can feel firmly like late winter, while a mid-afternoon round on a calm, sunny day can pass for early spring. Neither condition is guaranteed, and the margin between a great round and a miserable one narrows considerably when wind and wet arrive together.
With 18 precipitation days spread across 31 days, roughly 58% of the month carries rain risk, so booking a refundable or transferable tee time earlier in the week — then making a final call 48 hours out — reduces wasted fees considerably. Mid-afternoon slots on days forecast above 48°F give the ground the best chance to firm up after cold overnight lows near 33°F. See how conditions rate hour by hour on our playability scale.
February to March is the biggest temperature jump in the late-winter stretch — a gain of 11°F in average high — but the cost is three additional precipitation days and a slight uptick of 0.8 mph in peak wind. April offers another 7°F of warmth with one fewer rainy day and winds that ease by 0.7 mph, making it the noticeably more forgiving month. March sits squarely between those two extremes: warmer than February but wetter and windier than anything that follows.

Most public and semi-private courses in the Akron area target an early March opening, though a cold snap with lows near 33°F can push that back or close a course mid-week. Call ahead or check each course's social channels before booking, since conditions vary sharply week to week at this stage of the season.
Expect soft, slow fairways and potentially temporary greens on days following rain — and with 18 precipitation days on average, that means soggy lies are the norm rather than the exception. Cart restrictions are common, and some courses run mats-only on tee boxes through mid-month to protect turf from frost damage when overnight lows hover around 33°F.
