The single variable that defines golf in Augusta in April is wind. At 11.9 mph peak, it's the windiest month of the year here — and on a course layout where tree gaps funnel gusts straight down fairways, that matters more than the number suggests. The temperature is genuinely comfortable, with a high of 76°F sitting squarely in the ideal 60–80°F range, and the 22°F daily swing means mornings start cool at 54°F before warming into shirt-sleeve conditions by mid-round.
With only 11 precipitation days, April is actually the third-driest month of the year, so rain itself is less of a concern than wind-adjusted shot-making. Expect firm, fast conditions on Bermuda surfaces coming out of winter dormancy, and plan club selection accordingly — an extra club or two into the breeze is not unusual on exposed holes.
Book morning rounds early in the week if you want the best combination of mild temperatures and slightly lower wind — afternoon tee times in April tend to catch peak gusts as the land heats up. Given that April is Augusta's windiest month, weekend slots go fast among locals who understand the conditions, so securing your time at least two weeks out is realistic. See how conditions rate hour by hour on our playability scale.
April sheds one rain day compared to March and warms up a meaningful 7°F at the high end, making it a clear step forward for playing conditions. Wind, however, ticks up a fraction — 11.9 mph versus March's 11.8 mph — so don't expect any calm-weather reprieve just because the calendar flipped. May adds another 7°F of warmth but also picks up 2 more rain days while wind eases to 10.5 mph, making April the drier if breezier choice between the two.

Yes, with the right expectations. The 76°F average high and only 11 rain days — third-driest of the year — make for genuinely pleasant conditions. The catch is that April is Augusta's windiest month at 11.9 mph peak, which demands patient course management and adds a layer of difficulty compared to calmer months.
Morning lows average 54°F, so early tee times can feel brisk, particularly with the 11.9 mph wind adding a chill factor on open holes. Temperatures typically climb to around 76°F by early afternoon, creating a 22°F swing within a single round — enough that dressing in removable layers makes a real practical difference.
