Rain is the defining variable for golf in Baltimore in April. With 15 precipitation days — tied for third-wettest on the calendar — you're looking at roughly every other day carrying some chance of getting wet. That alone earns the "Variable" tier badge, and it shapes every decision from booking to what you carry in the bag.
Temperatures are genuinely improving: a 64F average high is comfortable for moving, and the 19F daily swing means mornings starting near 45F can feel raw before warming into decent afternoon conditions. Wind stays at its year-peak, matching March's 13.6 mph — firmly in the moderate range — so exposed layouts along the Chesapeake tributaries will play longer than the card suggests. The rewards are green, uncrowded fairways and rates that haven't yet caught up to May's demand.
Book a late-morning slot — around 10 or 11 AM — to let the 45F overnight low climb toward the mid-60s before you tee off; afternoon rounds also sit closer to the dry windows that tend to open after morning showers move through. Given the high number of precip days, have a rain-date tee time lined up at booking rather than waiting to reschedule. See how conditions rate hour by hour on our playability scale.
April adds 7F of warmth over March (64F vs. 57F highs) and two more precipitation days, so you gain comfort but trade it for a wetter schedule. May brings another 8F jump to 72F and drops peak wind by 2 mph to 11.6 mph, making it the calmer, warmer choice — though the rain-day count stays identical at 15. If you can only play one spring month and prefer steadier conditions over lower rates, May edges April; if you want less competition for tee times, April delivers.

April averages 15 precipitation days, making it one of the three wettest months of the year for golf in Baltimore — tied with May and June. That doesn't mean all-day washouts, but you should plan for interruptions and check hourly forecasts rather than daily ones. Morning tee times carry higher risk of wet starts; late-morning slots tend to catch the better windows.
April ties March as the windiest month of the year at a peak of 13.6 mph, which falls in the moderate range and will affect club selection on exposed holes. Courses near the Chesapeake Bay or its tributaries feel that wind most acutely. It's manageable, but factor in at least one extra club on into-the-wind approaches.
