| Average September Weather | |
|---|---|
| Avg daily high | 86°F |

| Avg peak wind | 9.7 mph |
An 86°F average high paired with a 73°F overnight low tells you something specific about September: the temperature floor never drops low enough for the course to recover overnight, so by the time you reach the first tee the air is already saturated and the greens are soft. Fatigue compounds faster than a single temperature reading implies, and the persistent humidity means grip traction degrades steadily through the round.
The bigger story is rain. At 26 precipitation days, September is the second-wettest month of the year, and afternoon storms are almost guaranteed. That kind of interruption doesn't just affect comfort — it means soft fairways, slower greens, and rounds that may not finish. Morning tee times aren't just a preference here, they're a scorecard decision. The 9.7 mph peak wind is actually the second-calmest reading of the year, so on the days you do get a clear window, approach shots hold their line and the ball flies predictably through the still air.
With 26 rain days spread through the month, afternoon rounds face near-certain storm delays — book the earliest available tee time, ideally before 8 AM, to maximize the chances of completing 18 holes. September's rain load won't ease meaningfully until October, when precipitation days fall to 17 and afternoon windows become a realistic option again. See how conditions rate hour by hour on our playability scale.
September sheds three precipitation days compared to August's 29, and the average high drops 3°F to 86°F — a modest but real improvement in playability. The bigger jump comes in October, which cuts precipitation days by nine down to 17 and cools another 4°F to an 82°F high, making it noticeably more forgiving. Wind ticks up slightly going into October at 11 mph versus September's 9.7 mph, but that trade-off is minor against the dramatic reduction in rain disruptions.

With 26 precipitation days in September, rain falls on roughly 26 out of 30 days — the second-wettest month of the year, behind only August's 29 days. Most rain arrives as afternoon convective storms, so a morning tee time dramatically reduces the odds of a weather delay. Even with an early start, carry rain gear as insurance.
The average high sits at 86°F with an overnight low of only 73°F, meaning the course never fully cools down before your round starts. That 13°F daily swing is narrow enough that mid-morning temperatures are already well above the 80°F comfort threshold. Walking 18 holes demands aggressive hydration and realistic pacing — heat fatigue is the main physical factor to manage this month.
