November sits between Baltimore's two shoulder-season extremes, and the contrast on both sides is sharp. Coming out of October, you lose 11 degrees of average high temperature — highs drop from 68F to 57F — but you gain something useful: November is actually the driest month of the year in Baltimore, with only 8 precipitation days versus October's 12. That trade-off defines the month. You're dressing in more layers, but you're less likely to get rained off.
The 16-degree daily swing from a 57F high to a 41F low means the same round can feel very different at 7 AM versus noon. Tee off early in November and you're in the low 40s; finish at midday and it's comfortable enough in a vest and cap. Wind averages 11.5 mph — moderate by the site's standard — and that's about 0.9 mph higher than October, noticeable but not a round-wrecker. December brings a harder reset: highs fall another 9 degrees and precip days jump to 13.
With only 8 precipitation days and daylight shrinking fast, booking a late-morning tee time — around 10 or 11 AM — lets temperatures climb from the low-40s dawn chill toward the day's 57F high before you step to the first tee. Early-week slots stay more available as recreational play drops off with the temperature, so hold off on weekend bookings and check mid-week openings first. See how conditions rate hour by hour on our playability scale.
October is the easier month to play, with an 11F warmer average high of 68F and four fewer rainy days, though its wind is only slightly calmer at 10.6 mph. November's real advantage over both neighbors is precipitation: at 8 rainy days it is measurably drier than either October or December. Step into December and conditions deteriorate on nearly every metric — highs fall to 48F, lows drop to 33F, and precip days climb to 13 — making November the last reasonable window before Baltimore golf shifts into cold-weather grind territory.

At a 57F average high, November is manageable with the right gear, though mornings starting near 41F require real layering. The month is actually Baltimore's driest of the year at just 8 precipitation days, which helps offset the cold. Players who dress for the temperature — thermal base layer, wind vest, gloves — typically find conditions playable through most of the month.
The biggest shift is temperature: the average high drops 11 degrees, from 68F in October to 57F in November, and lows fall from 51F to 41F. On the plus side, November has four fewer rainy days than October, making it drier despite the colder air. Wind ticks up only slightly, from 10.6 mph to 11.5 mph, so that's not the factor that changes the experience — the cold is.
