February golf in Colorado Springs is honest about what it is: cold, dry-ish by local standards, and best suited to players who actually live here. The average high sits at 40°F — the coldest of any month, tied with January — and morning lows drop to 15°F, meaning a 25-degree daily swing that demands layering strategy more than shot strategy. With 9 precipitation days, it matches March for the 4th-wettest slot on the calendar. Wind at least cooperates: 10.6 mph peak makes it the 3rd-calmest month of the year, tied with November.
For the traveling golfer, February offers almost nothing over waiting two or three months. For the local regular, that's a different conversation. If you know the courses, know how to dress, and can tee off by mid-morning when the frost has lifted and that 40°F high is actually reachable, there's workable golf to be had — especially on the calmer days when wind stays well below the 15 mph moderate threshold.
Book late-morning tee times — 10 AM or later — to let frost clear and give the temperature a chance to approach its daily 40°F peak before you're already on the back nine. Given the 9 precipitation days spread across a short month, checking the 48-hour forecast before booking rather than locking in weeks ahead will save wasted green fees.

January and February are effectively identical in temperature — both average a 40°F high — but February adds 2 more precipitation days (9 vs. 7) and a barely noticeable 0.7 mph more wind, making it marginally harder to play despite no warmth gained. March brings a meaningful 10°F jump in the average high to 50°F, but precipitation stays at the same 9 days and wind increases by 2 mph to 12.6 mph, so the warmth comes with trade-offs rather than a clean upgrade.

Most public and semi-private courses do stay open in February, but hours and availability depend heavily on daily conditions — frost delays and cart restrictions are common given 15°F average lows. It's worth calling ahead or checking the course's conditions line the day before, since a cold snap can close a course that was playable 24 hours earlier.
The average high is 40°F, but with a 10.6 mph peak wind and Colorado Springs' elevation above 6,000 feet, the felt temperature on exposed holes runs noticeably lower — realistically in the low-to-mid 30s for much of a round. Morning tee times near the 15°F average low are genuinely painful without serious cold-weather gear, which is why locals tend to start late and play fast.
