April in Oklahoma City sits in an interesting spot on the golf calendar — good enough to draw out-of-town visitors looking for mild spring conditions, but genuinely challenging enough that local regulars know exactly what they're signing up for. Highs averaging 71°F put the temperature squarely in the ideal range, but that comfort comes with real tradeoffs: 12 precipitation days make it the second-wettest month of the year, and a peak wind of 16.9 mph makes it the windiest month of the year here.
The traveling golfer chasing a spring getaway will find temperatures cooperative and courses in reasonable shape after winter. The local regular, though, knows to check the forecast obsessively — a 20°F daily swing from 51°F mornings to 71°F afternoons means layering is mandatory, and the wind will reshape shot selection on almost every hole. Neither group should expect a clean, calm week of golf. Plan around it, and April rewards you.
Watch multi-day forecasts closely, since April's 12 precipitation days can cluster around passing storm systems, and look for late-morning tee times — after 9 AM — when the overnight low of 51°F has had a chance to lift. April's temperatures look appealing on paper, so popular courses fill up quickly; book as early as the course allows. See how conditions rate hour by hour on our playability scale.
March runs 7°F cooler on average and is slightly less windy at 16.2 mph peak, but also carries 2 fewer precipitation days, making it a marginally drier option if cold mornings don't bother you. April's warmth is a real step forward, but May takes temperatures up another 8°F while actually dropping to 15.1 mph peak wind — the tradeoff is 4 more precipitation days, making May the wetter of the two spring months. If wind bothers you more than rain, May is the better choice; if you can work around the wind and want fewer soggy rounds, April has a slight edge.

April is the windiest month of the year in OKC at a peak of 16.9 mph, so wind will be a factor on most days. That said, it doesn't make the course unplayable — it just shifts the game toward shot management and club selection rather than pure distance. Golfers who struggle with ball flight in crosswinds should temper expectations, while those who enjoy a strategic challenge will find it interesting.
With 12 precipitation days, April is tied for the second-wettest month of the year here, meaning roughly one in every three days has some measurable precipitation. Most of those are passing systems rather than all-day washouts, but morning tee times carry higher risk after overnight storms. Checking a radar app the evening before your round is more useful than a simple daily forecast this time of year.
