What is the best time of day to play golf in Palm Springs?

Our system analyzes hourly conditions to find the best 2–3 hour tee time window each day. In Palm Springs, morning rounds (before 11 AM) often score highest because winds are typically calmer and temperatures haven’t peaked. Check the “Best Window” recommendation at the top of the page for today’s optimal tee time.

What wind speed is too high for golf?

Winds under 8 mph are ideal for predictable ball flight. Moderate winds of 8–15 mph affect club selection and shot shape. Above 15 mph, scoring becomes significantly harder as gusts affect both distance and accuracy. Our playability score applies increasing penalties as wind speed rises past these thresholds.
