February in Palm Springs, CA: peak season for golf — great conditions and a wide playing window. Best tee times: mid-morning through early afternoon.

February sits in a useful spot on the Palm Springs calendar — warmer than January by 3°F but not yet the breezy, wetter shoulder of March. Highs average 69°F and lows hold around 50°F, producing a 19°F daily swing that makes morning tee times noticeably cooler than afternoon rounds. Peak wind averages 8.5 mph, keeping conditions calm enough that course management rarely comes down to the breeze.
Four precipitation days tie February with January as the year's joint second-wettest months, but that still means most days are dry. The season-tier badge on this page is Peak, and the numbers back it up: temperatures sit squarely in the 60–80°F ideal window for the bulk of the day, wind stays well under the 15 mph moderate threshold, and the desert sun is strong enough to warm a round quickly once it gets going.
With lows at 50°F, early morning tee times before 8 AM can feel genuinely cold in the desert air, so booking a mid-morning slot — around 9–10 AM — lets the temperature climb closer to the 69°F afternoon high before you reach the back nine. February is deep in peak season, so book at least two to three weeks out; prime weekend slots at the higher-demand courses fill faster than the weather forecast would suggest. See how conditions rate hour by hour on our playability scale.
January into February brings a modest 3°F bump in the high — from 66°F to 69°F — with no change in precipitation days and only 1.1 mph more wind, so the transition is gradual rather than dramatic. Moving from February into March, temperatures climb another 3°F to 72°F, but precipitation days jump from 4 to 6 and peak wind ticks up to 9.7 mph, meaning March trades slightly better warmth for noticeably more variable playing conditions. If you want the warmth of spring without the added weather risk, February is the cleaner choice of the three.

February is one of the stronger months on the calendar, with average highs of 69°F, peak wind of just 8.5 mph, and only 4 precipitation days. Temperatures sit inside the 60–80°F ideal range for most of the day, and the relatively calm wind makes club selection straightforward. The main trade-off is that it is peak season, so tee-time availability and rates reflect high demand.
Lows average 50°F, which means early morning rounds start cool and can feel colder on the exposed desert courses typical of the area. The high reaches 69°F by afternoon, so there is a 19°F swing across the day. Layering for the first three or four holes and being ready to shed a layer by the turn is a practical approach.
