February sits in an interesting middle position on the Memphis golf calendar — warmer than January by 5°F on the high end, but wetter and windier too. The average high reaches only 55°F, making it the second-coldest month of the year, while the low drops to 37°F, creating an 18°F daily swing that demands attention to tee time. Morning rounds can feel genuinely raw; afternoon windows between 1–3 PM tend to offer the most playable conditions.
At 14 precipitation days — tied for third-wettest on the annual calendar — and peak winds of 12.7 mph (the windiest Memphis month of the year, tied with April), February is not forgiving. Rounds are playable, but rarely comfortable for a full day. Mid-week afternoon slots give you the best odds of finding a dry, calm window as precipitation ticks up slightly into March.
With 14 precipitation days spread across a short month, book a mid-week afternoon slot and keep an eye on the hourly forecast within 48 hours — morning tee times before 10 AM regularly run into temperatures in the upper 30s that put you below the comfortable playing range. Flexibility to shift your tee time by a few hours matters more in February than in any other Memphis month. See how conditions rate hour by hour on our playability scale.
January to February brings a modest 5°F rise in the average high (from 50°F to 55°F) and slightly calmer-feeling mornings at 37°F versus January's 34°F low, but the extra warmth comes at a cost: two more precipitation days and winds that are 0.6 mph stronger. Moving from February into March, the high jumps a more meaningful 8°F to 63°F and lows climb to 45°F, which makes rounds genuinely more comfortable — but March actually adds two more precipitation days and wind stays nearly identical at 12.6 mph. So February is the coldest point in the transition, while March is the wetter payoff for that warmth.

It is playable but comes with real trade-offs: the average high is only 55°F (second-coldest month of the year) and 14 of the month's days see measurable precipitation, tied for third-wettest on the annual calendar. If you target a mid-week afternoon round and track the short-range forecast, you can find serviceable windows, but you should go in expecting some wind and a genuine chance of a weather delay.
February is the windiest month of the Memphis golf year, with peak winds averaging 12.7 mph — enough to push drives offline and require consistent club adjustments on approach shots. That puts February right at the upper edge of the moderate wind range, meaning it rarely cancels play outright but it consistently affects ball flight, especially on courses with limited wind screening.
