October in Akron puts a 64°F average high and a 48°F average low on the scorecard — and those numbers have real consequences from the first tee to the 18th green. A 16-degree daily swing means you'll start a morning round pulling extra club in the cold, then peel a layer by the back nine as temperatures climb. Ball compression suffers below 50°F, so expect noticeably shorter carry early in the day compared to a summer round. The 11 mph peak wind sits at the fifth-calmest reading of the year, which helps, but 15 precipitation days — tied for the third-driest month — still means nearly half the days in the month carry some moisture risk. Plan tee times for midday and you'll catch the warmest window the month offers.
The temperature range also affects how you manage the round strategically. Mornings reward patience — commit to extra club and accept that the ball won't fly its usual distance until conditions warm up toward that 64°F afternoon high.
With a 16-degree daily swing, booking a late-morning tee time — 10 AM or later — lets temperatures climb toward the 64°F high before you're making scoring decisions on the par-5s. Avoid early twilight slots; daylight shrinks fast in October and a 6 PM hard stop becomes a real constraint by mid-month. See how conditions rate hour by hour on our playability scale.
October drops 11°F off September's 75°F average high, and that's enough to shift your entire club selection strategy by one stick across the bag. Precipitation days rise by three compared to September, so window-shopping for a dry day gets harder. Moving into November, the average high plunges another 13°F to 51°F while wind ticks up to 12.1 mph, making October clearly the more playable side of that transition.

It's workable but requires some flexibility. The average high reaches 64°F, which sits just inside the comfortable range, but mornings at 48°F low can make the first few holes feel stiff. Fifteen precipitation days mean you'll want to watch the forecast closely rather than book blind.
The average low hits 48°F, and early morning tee times will often start right around that mark. The day does warm toward 64°F by afternoon, but that 16-degree swing means dressing in removable layers is more practical than picking one outfit for the whole round.
