February in Jackson, MS: shoulder season for golf — playable with smart tee time selection. Best tee times: late morning to early afternoon after dew burns off.
| Average February Weather | |
|---|---|
| Avg daily high | 62°F |
| Avg daily low | 43°F |
| Rainy days | 14 / mo |
| Avg peak wind | 11.9 mph |
February in Jackson carries the year's highest peak wind at 11.9 mph — an easy fact to overlook when the average high of 62F sounds almost comfortable. That wind, layered onto a month where rain falls on roughly half the days, is what separates February from a tolerable shoulder-season round and a genuinely frustrating one.
Temperatures are workable, but barely. The 19-degree daily swing from a 43F morning low means an 8 AM tee time feels meaningfully colder than a noon one. On a wet day those 11.9 mph gusts make club selection genuinely tricky. February rewards patience and flexibility more than any other month here.
Book midday windows — 11 AM to 2 PM — to avoid the coldest morning temperatures and maximize drying time between showers. With 14 wet days spread across a short 28-day month, having a same-week backup slot at the same course is practical, not paranoid. See how conditions rate hour by hour on our playability scale.
February runs 5F warmer at the high than January's 57F, a noticeable upgrade, but it also adds 2 more precipitation days, pushing from 12 to 14. March offers a further 7F jump to a 69F high, making it a substantially better playing month in temperature terms. The precipitation burden barely changes into March — just one additional rainy day — so the main payoff of waiting is warmth, not dryness.

February is actually the windiest month of the year in Jackson, averaging a peak of 11.9 mph. That's technically in the moderate range, but combined with damp air and temps that can sit in the mid-40s in the morning, it makes club selection and layering more important than in any other month.
