March is the month when the Myrtle Beach tee sheet starts moving fast — and how you book matters as much as where you play. Spring break crowds push into the Grand Strand alongside the returning snowbird set, so popular courses fill up well before peak summer. Yet the weather is still shoulder-season: an average high of 66°F with a low of 50°F means mornings can feel genuinely cool, and wind averaging 12.9 mph — the second-windiest month of the year — will shape club selection all day. Plan for a 16°F swing from sunrise to mid-afternoon.
That said, golf in Myrtle Beach in March is workable for most players. The temperature sits squarely near the lower end of the ideal range by afternoon, and 12 precipitation days ties it as the 4th-driest month of the year. Rain is spread across the month rather than concentrated, so a well-timed weekday booking often avoids the worst of both crowds and showers. The combination of improving temps and manageable rain makes mid-to-late March a reasonable target if you can stay flexible.
Book tee times at least two to three weeks out for any Saturday or Sunday in March, as spring break travel overlaps with the early-season rush and afternoon slots at mid-range courses disappear first. Targeting weekday mornings after 9 AM gives the temperature a chance to climb toward 66°F while dodging the weekend demand spike that March uniquely brings to the area.

March adds 5°F of warmth over February's 61°F high, which is enough to make afternoon rounds noticeably more comfortable, though it also adds one extra precipitation day and a negligible 0.2 mph of wind. Moving into April, you gain another 6°F on the high — reaching 72°F — while losing a precipitation day and picking up a slight 0.5 mph wind increase, so April is warmer but marginally windier if your schedule allows the wait. March sits in the transition zone: warmer than February but still carrying enough unpredictability to reward flexible tee times.

The average high of 66°F is comfortable for afternoon rounds, but the low of 50°F means early morning starts require real layering. At 12.9 mph peak wind — the second-highest of any month — breezy conditions are the norm rather than the exception. April is warmer at 72°F but its peak wind rises to 13.4 mph, so players hoping for calmer conditions won't find much relief by waiting a month.
Earlier than most golfers expect: two to three weeks minimum for weekend rounds, as spring break travel and early-season demand from northern visitors combine to fill popular courses quickly. Weekday slots have more availability but mid-March is the tightest window, so locking in dates before you book travel is the safer approach.
