Green Bay golf enjoys a short, sweet season where summer days stretch past 8:30 PM. June through September is the window, with the bay keeping extreme heat rare. Spring arrives late and fall ends abruptly, but mid-summer evenings here are among the best twilight golf in the Midwest.
Green Bay's golf season lives and dies by precipitation timing as much as temperature. April is the wettest month at 16 precip days — often leaving fairways soft just as golfers are itching to get back out — while February and November tie for driest at just 9 days each. The upside: once you reach June, precip days drop to 13 and conditions firm up noticeably through September (12 days), giving the core playing season a rhythm of frequent but not relentless rain.
That pattern matters for course conditions more than casual visitors expect. Heavier soils hold moisture longer than sandy-base tracks, so a stretch of 13-14 precip days in July or August can still mean cart-path-only rules the following week. Checking recent rainfall before booking a tee time here is less optional habit and more practical necessity.
April averages 16 precip days — the highest of any month — and temperatures only reach a high of 54°F, well below the 60°F comfort threshold. Expect soggy lies and restricted cart access into early May, when highs climb to 67°F and precip days ease back to 14.
July delivers the best combination on paper: an 82°F average high, winds averaging just 10.5 mph (the calmest of the year), and 15 precip days spread across the month rather than concentrated in multiday soakers. August is nearly as good at 80°F and 14 precip days, with winds at 10.8 mph. Firm conditions are achievable but require a few dry days in sequence.
September drops to 12 precip days — the driest stretch of the playing season — and average highs hold at 73°F, still comfortably within ideal range. October cools to 60°F with 13 precip days; borderline playable but often surprisingly firm after September's relative dryness. November cuts off the season fast with a low of 32°F and rising northwest winds averaging 13.2 mph.
December through February sees lows between 14°F and 22°F with 9-11 precip days per month, most falling as snow or ice. Average highs never break 35°F, and wind averages run 11-13 mph throughout. No meaningful golf is available.
June combines a 79°F average high, just 13 precip days, and the year's largest average daily temp swing (20°F), meaning mornings can be cool and evenings stay playable late. September matches June's 13 precip days while temperatures remain at 73°F, making it the firmest month of the season relative to summer rainfall totals. October at 60°F sits right at the lower edge of the ideal range and still logs only 13 precip days, rewarding golfers willing to layer up.
September is your best bet, averaging just 12 precip days — the fewest of any month in the playing season. Following a relatively dry August (14 precip days), most courses have had time to drain and firm up. Avoid booking immediately after multi-day rain events regardless of month, since local soil types hold moisture longer than courses on sandier terrain.
July edges August slightly on wind (10.5 mph vs. 10.8 mph) and temperature (82°F vs. 80°F average high), but July actually logs the most precip days of any summer month at 15 versus August's 14. The practical difference is small — both months offer the warmest, calmest conditions of the year, and either works well if you can find a stretch of two or three dry days.
Spring is the windiest part of the golf calendar here. April averages peak winds of 13.7 mph — the highest of any month — and March isn't far behind at 13.0 mph. Both months regularly push into the moderate-wind range (above 15 mph on gusty days), which combined with temperatures only reaching 43-54°F makes club selection genuinely difficult. May calms slightly to 12.4 mph but remains breezy by summer standards.
