The jump from 8 to 12 precipitation days is what separates November from October in Hilton Head — and it changes how you plan every round. Temperatures remain workable at a 69°F average high, and mornings near 56°F are cool but manageable with the right layers. Wind holds at 12.3 mph, which is moderate but not punishing.
The net picture is a shoulder-season month that rewards flexibility. Players who can move tee times to dodge incoming fronts will find course conditions close to their autumn best. The 13°F daily swing means early starters should expect chilly first holes that ease by mid-round, and afternoon windows between fronts can offer the most comfortable conditions of the day.
Book morning slots and keep an eye on the hourly forecast the night before; with 12 precipitation days spread across the month, flexibility on start time is the most reliable way to stay ahead of showers. A 9–10 AM start also gives temperatures time to climb from the 56°F low before you reach the back nine. See how conditions rate hour by hour on our playability scale.
October is the cleaner choice if your priority is dry rounds — it averages eight precipitation days versus November's twelve, and its 77°F high gives you eight degrees more warmth. December drops another seven degrees off the high, landing at 62°F, but it trims one precipitation day and holds wind dead even at 12.3 mph, so the cold-weather trade-off does not come with added rain.

The 69°F average high keeps conditions comfortable by midday, but scheduling flexibility matters. With 12 precipitation days, November ties for the fourth-driest month of the year alongside January and March, so November's rain frequency is consistent with other months at the drier end of the calendar. Booking an extra day as a rain buffer is still a practical move.
Morning tee times start near the average low of 56°F, which feels noticeably cool, especially in wind. By afternoon the high typically reaches 69°F, so the 13°F daily swing means layering is essential rather than optional. A light waterproof vest handles most of what November throws at you.
