Most golfers arriving in Columbia in June expect a typical summer round — warm, maybe a brief afternoon shower, nothing unusual. The reality is a bit more demanding. At an average high of 88°F with lows only dropping to 69°F, the overnight temperature never gives the course much of a chance to cool down, so even a 7 AM tee time starts in muggy conditions. June is also the 3rd-wettest month of the year at 16 precipitation days, meaning roughly every other day sees measurable rain — usually fast-moving afternoon thunderstorms rather than all-day soakers.
The surprise that actually works in your favor: June is the 6th-calmest month of the year at 10.3 mph peak wind. Shots hold their line better than you'd expect in summer, and approach play is more predictable than it looks on paper. The daily swing of 19°F sounds generous, but that lower end is 69°F — still well above comfortable sleeping weather, let alone comfortable walking weather. Tee off early, manage the heat as your primary variable, and treat afternoon lightning delays as a scheduling reality rather than an exception.
Book the earliest available slot — ideally before 8 AM — since the temperature is already at the low of 69°F at dawn and climbs quickly toward 88°F by midday. With 16 precipitation days in the month, afternoon rounds carry a high likelihood of a weather delay, so finishing your round before 1 PM is a practical goal rather than just a preference.

June runs 6°F hotter than May and adds two more precipitation days, making it noticeably heavier going for a walking round. Compared to July, June is actually the more playable choice — July pushes the average high to 91°F and climbs to 19 precipitation days, three more than June. Wind is similarly calm in both months, so heat and rain frequency are really the deciding factors between them.

It depends heavily on your tee time. The average high hits 88°F, tied for the 2nd-hottest month of the year, and the low only falls to 69°F, so there is no genuinely cool window during June. Golfers who tee off before 8 AM can complete a round in manageable conditions, but midday and afternoon rounds in full sun are genuinely taxing.
June logs 16 precipitation days — the 3rd-wettest month of the year — and most of that rain arrives as fast-moving afternoon thunderstorms rather than steady all-day rain. A round that starts at dawn has a much lower chance of a weather stoppage than one beginning after noon, when storm activity typically peaks in the Midlands.
