March changes the calculus on when and how you book a tee time in Honolulu. With 22 precipitation days — the highest of any month in the climate record here — the question isn't whether rain will show up, but whether it will clear before your group reaches the turn. Temperatures are comfortable, sitting at 77°F high and 69°F low with only an 8°F daily swing, so weather discomfort comes almost entirely from rain and a 14.4 mph peak wind rather than heat or cold.
The Variable tier badge on this page is earned. Mornings tend to offer the best window before trade-wind-driven showers build. That pattern makes early tee times genuinely worth the alarm clock, not just a preference. Anyone booking midday or afternoon slots in March should price in a real chance of a wet back nine.
With 22 precipitation days spread across the month, tee times at or before 7 AM give you the highest odds of completing a full round before afternoon showers arrive on the trade winds — book those slots as far in advance as the course allows, because other locals and visiting golfers have learned the same trick. Midday and afternoon slots open up with shorter lead times, but expect interruptions and check the coastal wind forecast before confirming; 14.4 mph gusts can push approach shots on exposed holes at courses like Ko'olau or Hawaii Kai. See how conditions rate hour by hour on our playability scale.
February and March share the same 77°F average high, but March carries seven more precipitation days — a significant jump that pushes it into the wettest month of the year. Moving into April, the rain eases by just one day to 21, so the wet pattern doesn't disappear, but temperatures do climb two degrees to 79°F and the course tends to feel a bit more cooperative. Peak wind holds steady at 14.4 mph from March straight into April, so wind exposure doesn't change at the calendar flip.

March is manageable but requires realistic expectations. Temperatures stay in the 77°F range, which is comfortable, but 22 precipitation days make it the rainiest month of the year in Honolulu. Early morning rounds are genuinely the best strategy — showers tend to build through the afternoon, so a 6 or 7 AM start gives you the best shot at a dry round.
Peak winds average 14.4 mph in March, which ties with April as the 4th-windiest month of the year here. That's in the moderate range and noticeable on exposed holes, particularly on courses that sit along ridgelines or open coastlines. Plan for trade-wind influence on your ball flight, especially on northeast-facing approach shots.
