April in Boise, ID: peak season for golf — great conditions and a wide playing window. Best tee times: late morning to early afternoon after dew burns off.
| Average April Weather | |
|---|---|
| Avg daily high | 61°F |
| Avg daily low | 38°F |
| Rainy days | 9 / mo |
| Avg peak wind | 13.1 mph |
April splits Boise's golfer pool almost cleanly in two. Traveling golfers who plan their trips around weather windows will find the month livable but uneven — highs reach 61°F, which sits at the low end of the ideal 60–80°F range, and with 9 precipitation days and peak winds of 13.1 mph (the highest of any month on the calendar), you can easily draw a breezy, damp round. For the traveling visitor who has flexibility, May rewards patience.
The local regular, though, has a different calculus. After a cold March that averaged only 53°F with 13 rainy days, April's 8-degree warmup and four fewer wet days feel like a genuine reset. Courses that went quiet over winter are opening back up, morning tee sheets are filling again, and regulars who know Boise's layout — and its wind — are happy to be back out regardless of conditions. April belongs most naturally to them.
Because April carries Boise's highest peak winds, book morning tee times — wind typically builds through the afternoon, and an 8 AM start gives you the calmest conditions the day offers. Weekday slots also open up more reliably than in May once the season is fully in swing, so early-week mornings are worth targeting if your schedule allows.

March averages 13 precipitation days and a high of just 53°F, so April's jump to 61°F and only 9 wet days marks a meaningful step toward playable conditions. May then clears another 10°F on the high end while adding 3 more precipitation days — making it slightly wetter but considerably warmer and a touch calmer at 12.6 mph versus April's 13.1 mph. If you're choosing between the three months purely on comfort, May edges April; but if you want the earliest real-season window, April delivers it.

April is statistically the windiest month in Boise, with peak winds averaging 13.1 mph — which falls within the moderate range by site standards. Morning tee times are generally a safer bet than afternoons as a broad pattern. Expect wind to be a factor on exposed holes regardless of when you play.
Most Boise-area courses are open by April, and the month carries a Peak season tier, meaning conditions are considered genuinely playable. That said, with 9 precipitation days and average lows of 38°F, some fairways and greens — especially north-facing sections — can remain soft or slow to recover from winter. Calling ahead or checking course condition reports is worth doing before your round.
