Coming out of February, the clearest change is temperature: March's average high of 66°F is 7°F warmer than February's 59°F, which makes midday rounds genuinely comfortable. The low, however, is still 47°F, creating a 19°F daily swing that means your 8 AM tee time will feel meaningfully different from your noon finish. Pack accordingly.
The catch is precipitation. With 15 rainy days, March is Birmingham's fourth-wettest month of the year, and the wind holds at 11.7 mph — second-windiest on the annual calendar. Neither figure is catastrophic on its own, but together they can turn an average March day into a grind. Morning windows are your best bet, before conditions deteriorate later in the day.
Book early morning slots — 7 to 9 AM — when conditions tend to be more settled and before weather has a chance to build through the day. Given that 11.7 mph peak wind is the second-highest of the year, low-wind mornings disappear fast on weekends, so lock in at least a week ahead. See how conditions rate hour by hour on our playability scale.
February to March brings a welcome 7°F jump in the average high, but you actually gain a precip day (14 in February versus 15 in March), so the warmth comes with more unsettled skies, not fewer. Moving forward, April sheds three precip days and adds another 6°F of warmth — that's the real payoff month for Birmingham spring golf. March is the transition, not the destination.

It's workable but requires flexibility. The average high of 66°F is comfortable for midday rounds, yet 15 days with measurable precipitation make cart-path-only or closed-course days a real possibility. If you can choose tee times freely and monitor the forecast, you'll find solid windows — just don't plan a rigid trip around guaranteed dry days.
March averages a peak wind of 11.7 mph, which ranks as the second-windiest month of the year in Birmingham. That puts it firmly in the moderate range by site standards, enough to affect club selection on exposed holes. Wind does ease slightly as spring progresses — April's peak drops to 11.2 mph — so conditions improve, but not dramatically.
