November in Colorado Springs tends to fool golfers who assume cold means unplayable — the real obstacle is rarely what they expect. With only 6 precipitation days, November is tied for the second-driest month of the year here, and peak wind of 10.6 mph makes it the third-calmest. The real challenge is temperature. A high of 51°F means mornings are firmly below the ideal 60–80°F range, and a 25°F daily swing — from 51°F down to 26°F — means conditions shift fast once the sun drops.
The surprise is that many November rounds at Colorado Springs courses are perfectly playable, provided you tee off late morning after frost clears and stay disciplined about finishing before late afternoon. Expect firm, dormant turf rather than soft summer fairways, and be ready for the occasional frost delay. On a typical November day you're looking at a usable window of roughly 10 AM to 4 PM before cold and fading light close things down.
Book late-morning slots — 10 AM or later — to allow frost to burn off the greens and let the temperature climb as close to 51°F as it can before you reach the back nine. Colorado Springs courses list hours through 6 PM, but November sunset lands around 4:45–5:00 PM, so plan a pace that gets you off the course by 4:30 PM at the latest.

November drops 15°F from October's 66°F average high, which is a meaningful step down that forces a real change in how you dress and when you tee off. November has 6 precipitation days, up 2 from October's 4, and December holds that same count of 6. Wind actually eases slightly in both directions, falling 0.9 mph from October and another 0.6 mph into December, so November sits in a calm stretch even as temperatures continue their slide toward December's 44°F high.

Most courses stay open through November, weather permitting, because the month averages only 6 precipitation days — tied for second-driest in the year. However, individual days can close due to frost, snow, or frozen greens, so calling ahead or checking course conditions online the morning of your round is essential.
Expect an average high of 51°F with lows dropping to 26°F overnight, meaning morning rounds will feel cold and afternoon rounds can turn chilly quickly. Wind is relatively calm at a 10.6 mph peak, so that's less of a factor than the temperature — dress in warm layers and plan your tee time for late morning when the ground has had a chance to thaw.
