February in Myrtle Beach, SC: 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 | 61°F |
| Avg daily low | 45°F |
| Rainy days | 11 / mo |
| Avg peak wind | 12.7 mph |
February sits in a narrow window between Myrtle Beach's coldest stretch and its first real hint of spring. The average high reaches 61°F — 5 degrees warmer than January — which is enough to make a round comfortable in the afternoon but still cool enough that a 45°F morning start will feel sharp. Wind is a real factor at 12.7 mph peak, making it the 3rd-windiest month of the year, and the 16°F daily swing means what you wear at 7 AM won't be right by 1 PM.
Precipitation holds steady at 11 days, tied for the 3rd-driest mark of the year, so rain isn't the primary obstacle in February — cold and wind are. Afternoon rounds, once the temperature climbs toward that 61°F high, offer the most playable conditions the month has to offer.
Book afternoon slots starting at 11 AM or later — the spread between the 45°F low and 61°F high means early-morning tee times will consistently feel a full tier colder than the day's peak. Mid-week afternoon rounds in February also see less demand than holiday weekends, so last-minute availability is realistic if you can be flexible on day.

February gains 5°F over January's 56°F average high with no additional rain days, which makes it a modest but genuine step up for playability. Heading into March, you pick up another 5°F on the high and the low climbs from 45°F to 50°F, but precip days tick up by one and peak wind nudges 0.2 mph higher. In practical terms, February and March are close, but March's warmer lows mean fewer brutally cold morning starts.

It depends on your cold tolerance. The average high is 61°F, which falls just at the lower edge of the comfortable playing range, but mornings starting near 45°F are genuinely chilly. Afternoon rounds are the practical answer — by midday the temperature is close to its daily peak and conditions are substantially more comfortable than a sunrise tee time.
February averages a peak wind of 12.7 mph, making it the 3rd-windiest month of the year — just below the 15 mph threshold where wind starts dominating every club decision. On exposed courses along the Grand Strand, expect approach shots and any high-trajectory plays to be affected; keeping the ball lower and planning for 5–10 yard push or pull is a reasonable adjustment.
