March suits the traveling golfer who can plan around conditions and the local regular who's been waiting out a West Texas winter. The highs reach 68°F — comfortably within the ideal range — but the low of 43°F means early morning rounds can feel sharp, especially when wind picks up. With only 6 precipitation days, rain is rarely the problem. Wind is. At a peak of 17.3 mph, March ties April as the windiest month of the year in Lubbock, and that wind can turn a manageable course into a genuine shot-shaping test.
The traveling golfer gets decent temperatures, dry skies, and a legitimate challenge. The local regular knows to book afternoon tee times once the overnight chill lifts, and to expect that a calm morning can flip by the back nine. A 25°F daily swing means layering isn't optional — it's part of the bag-packing process every single round.
Book mid-morning slots — around 9 to 10 AM — to let the overnight chill clear the 43°F low before you tee off, while still finishing before afternoon gusts peak. Wind forecasts in Lubbock can shift quickly in March, so check a local hourly forecast the morning of and be ready to move your time if a calmer window opens earlier or later.

February's average high of 57°F and lows down to 32°F make March's 68°F high feel like a meaningful step toward playable weather — an 11°F jump that finally pushes daytime temperatures into the comfortable range. April gains another 8°F on March and drops one precipitation day, so it edges out this month on pure comfort. The wind, however, doesn't relent: peak wind holds at 17.3 mph from March straight through April, so switching months won't buy you calmer conditions.

March is tied for Lubbock's windiest month of the year, with peak winds reaching 17.3 mph. That won't ruin a round for a golfer who adjusts — club up, widen your misses, and accept that some holes will play 20 to 30 yards longer than the card says. It becomes a problem mainly if you ignore the wind and keep hitting the same clubs you'd use in still air.
The page's season tier rates it Peak, and the numbers back that up: an average high of 68°F, only 6 precipitation days, and mornings that warm quickly from a 43°F low. The wind is the honest drawback — 17.3 mph peak is the highest of any month in Lubbock — but golfers who enjoy a shot-shaping challenge will find March a rewarding time to play here.
