February in Augusta, GA: shoulder season for golf — playable with smart tee time selection. Best tee times: late morning to early afternoon after dew burns off.
| Average February Weather | |

| Avg daily high | 62°F |

| Rainy days | 12 / mo |
| Avg peak wind | 11.4 mph |
Many golfers expect February in Augusta to be an extension of January's deep chill, but the reality is more playable than the reputation suggests. Highs average 62°F — right at the lower edge of the ideal 60–80°F range — and the month ties for the 4th-driest slot on the calendar at just 12 precipitation days. That's a more forgiving setup than most visitors anticipate.
The real surprise is the 19°F daily swing between a 43°F morning low and a 62°F afternoon high. Golfers who tee off at first light often find conditions uncomfortably cold and then strip layers by the back nine. Wind is also a factor that catches people off guard: at a peak of 11.4 mph, February is Augusta's 3rd-windiest month, and on exposed holes that moderate breeze can cost a club or two. Plan your round for midday and you'll hit the window where temperature and wind tend to cooperate best.
With a 19°F swing between morning and afternoon temperatures, booking a tee time between 10 AM and 1 PM gives the best chance of catching the warmest window before conditions can shift. Avoid early-morning slots unless you're prepared for conditions closer to January's 39°F lows than February's 62°F highs. See how conditions rate hour by hour on our playability scale.
February is noticeably warmer than January, gaining 6°F on the average high while dropping one precipitation day, making it a modest but real step up in playing conditions. March builds further on that progress, adding another 7°F to reach a 69°F average high, though precipitation days stay flat at 12 and peak wind ticks up a hair to 11.8 mph. In short, February sits in the middle of a gradual warm-up arc where each month improves the temperature picture without doing much to reduce rain or wind exposure.

Not typically, though it depends on your tolerance. Average highs reach 62°F, which is at the comfortable lower threshold for most golfers, but morning lows around 43°F mean early tee times can feel significantly colder. Aiming for a midday start usually puts you in the most comfortable window of the day.
February is actually tied for the 4th-driest month of the year in Augusta, with 12 precipitation days — the same as March, September, and December. That said, 12 days still means roughly one day in three has some precipitation, so checking a short-range forecast before booking is worthwhile rather than assuming clear skies.
