November in Green Bay, WI: cool / cold season for golf — expect distance loss and stiff muscles. Best tee times: midday when temperatures are warmest.

November in Green Bay translates directly to a harder scorecard. A 46°F average high sits 14 degrees below the ideal playing range, which means muscles stay tight, carry distances drop — expect 10–15 fewer yards on most irons — and misses tend to come up short rather than long. The daily temperature swing from 32°F at dawn to 46°F midday is wide enough that frost delays can push morning tee times well past first light.
The wind is the other factor that shows up in your score. At 13.2 mph peak, Green Bay in November is the second-windiest month of the year, and that wind is cold and gusty rather than the steady summer breeze you can learn to play in a round. Expect to add at least one to two club lengths on downwind shots and subtract distance into the wind, while greens firm up quickly once afternoon temps drop back toward freezing. Nine precipitation days make this the driest month of the year, which is a genuine upside — but dry and frozen ground means unpredictable ball roll after it lands.
Book afternoon tee times — late morning at the earliest — to let frost clear and let the mercury climb toward its 46°F peak; morning slots near the 32°F low invite delays and genuinely hazardous cart paths. Because daylight shortens significantly through the month, confirm sunset times before booking anything after 1 PM to avoid being caught short on the back nine.

November is meaningfully colder than October, with the average high dropping 14°F and the low falling from 44°F to 32°F, though you do gain four fewer rainy days. Compared to December, November still holds an 11°F edge in average high temperature, making it the more playable of the two cold-season months, though December actually brings slightly calmer winds at 12.0 mph versus November's 13.2 mph. If you're choosing between late-season rounds, November's drier skies and marginally warmer afternoons give it the edge over December.

Most public courses in the Green Bay area stay open through November, weather permitting, though operating hours shrink considerably as daylight shortens significantly through the month. Expect frost delays on morning rounds and confirm daily conditions directly with the course, since a hard freeze overnight can close a layout with little notice. The nine average precipitation days actually make November the driest month of the year, so rain closures are less common than course-condition closures.
At a 46°F average high — and colder through most of the morning — you can expect to lose roughly 10–15 yards of carry on mid-irons compared to a summer round, a combination of cold air reducing ball compression and muscles that never fully warm up. The 13.2 mph peak wind, the second-highest of any month, adds further variability: a headwind at that speed can cost you an extra club or more on approach shots. Planning for those adjustments before you step on the first tee is the most direct way to keep the scorecard from getting away from you.
