The one variable that defines golf in Baltimore in September is the rain count. At 14 precipitation days, this is still the 4th-wettest month of the year — yet temperatures have dropped to a comfortable 78°F high and 62°F low, squarely inside the ideal playing range. That combination of cooling air and persistent showers defines the tradeoff every golfer faces here this month.
On balance, the conditions tilt positive. Peak winds sit at 10.3 mph, making September the 3rd-calmest month of the year, and the 16°F daily swing means mornings start cool but warm into genuinely pleasant afternoon rounds. Pack for interruptions rather than heat, and September rewards patience.
With 14 rain days spread across 30, roughly every other day carries interruption risk — book a late-morning slot around 10–11 AM to let overnight rain clear while still finishing before afternoon cells develop. Weekday availability opens up after Labor Day as summer vacation demand drops, so mid-week rounds are your best shot at both open tee sheets and drier skies.

September sheds five precipitation days compared to August's 19 and drops the average high by 7°F, making it meaningfully more comfortable even if the rain calendar stays busy. Moving into October, you lose another 10°F off the high and two more rain days, which tips the scales toward drier rounds but noticeably cooler conditions, especially on early-morning tee times when lows fall to 51°F. September sits in between: warmer than October but far drier than August.

It depends on your rain tolerance. Temperatures are genuinely comfortable — highs around 78°F and lows of 62°F — and winds are among the calmest of the year at 10.3 mph. The catch is 14 precipitation days, which means you should expect at least one rain delay or washout per week on average.
September brings a meaningful improvement in comfort: the average high drops 7°F from August's 85°F, and precipitation days fall from 19 to 14. Winds tick up only slightly, from 9.6 to 10.3 mph, so September is largely a cooler, moderately drier version of August without a dramatic shift in playing conditions.
