April in Little Rock looks like prime spring golf on paper — mild highs of 71°F, greening fairways, and longer daylight hours. The reality is more complicated. With 15 precipitation days, April is tied with March as the second-wettest month of the year, and at 11.9 mph it's actually the windiest month on record. Morning tee times that start near the 52°F low can feel noticeably cold, and that 19-degree daily swing means you'll be adjusting layers from the first hole to the last.
None of that makes April unplayable — far from it. The 71°F average high sits comfortably in the ideal range, and when you get a clear afternoon, conditions are hard to beat. But golfers who show up expecting easy spring weather often leave surprised by how much the wind affects ball flight and how quickly an overcast morning can turn a round soggy. Planning around the forecast matters more in April than almost any other month here.
Book afternoon tee times in the 1–3 PM window when the high of 71°F is most reliably reached and the morning chill near 52°F has burned off — but check wind forecasts specifically, since April's 11.9 mph peak is the highest of any month and can make exposed holes play two or three clubs longer than expected. See how conditions rate hour by hour on our playability scale.
March and April are nearly identical in precipitation, both logging 15 rainy days, but April adds 7°F to the average high and nudges wind up by 0.3 mph, making it marginally warmer but slightly gustier. May then jumps another 9°F warmer while dropping wind to 10.5 mph and adding just one more rain day, which is why many locals consider May the true start of comfortable golf in Little Rock. If you're choosing between the three months and flexibility allows it, May offers the most forgiving combination of warmth and calmer air.

April offers pleasant afternoon highs of 71°F, but it's the windiest month of the year at 11.9 mph and tied for the second-wettest at 15 precipitation days. You can find excellent rounds, especially mid-afternoon on clear days, but the Variable season tier on this page reflects real round-to-round inconsistency. Morning tee times in particular can start near 52°F, so flexibility with timing helps.
More than most visitors expect — April's 11.9 mph peak wind is the highest of any month in Little Rock, which means approach distances and shot shape need constant adjustment. Exposed holes can play significantly longer into a headwind. Checking hourly wind forecasts rather than just daily averages will help you plan club selection before you arrive.
