April in Savannah, GA: shoulder season for golf — playable with smart tee time selection. Best tee times: mid-morning through early afternoon.
| Average April Weather | |
|---|---|
| Avg daily high | 76°F |
| Avg daily low | 58°F |
| Rainy days | 11 / mo |
| Avg peak wind | 13.5 mph |
Most golfers arrive in Savannah in April expecting a warm, breezy spring round with occasional afternoon showers. The reality is more nuanced. At 76°F average high and 58°F average low, the temperature window is comfortable — genuinely ideal by the 60–80°F standard — but the 18°F daily swing means a morning tee time can feel 15 degrees cooler than an afternoon finish. Pack accordingly.
The bigger surprise is wind. April is actually the windiest month of the year in Savannah, averaging a peak of 13.5 mph. That sits in the moderate range, but it's enough to add a club on approach and punish mishits on exposed coastal-influenced layouts. On the upside, April is also tied for the driest month of the year at just 11 precipitation days, so the rain threat is lower than most visitors assume. The shoulder-season badge is accurate: conditions are genuinely good, just not as carefree as the calendar date implies.
Book morning rounds to catch the coolest part of the swing — the 58°F low climbs toward 76°F by early afternoon, but morning wind off the coast can be stiff. Mid-morning slots around 9–10 AM tend to split the difference between cool temps and peak wind exposure better than either a dawn or midday start. See how conditions rate hour by hour on our playability scale.
April drops two rain days compared to March's 13, making it noticeably drier even as the temperature rises a comfortable 5°F in the highs. However, wind ticks up slightly from March's 12.9 mph peak to April's 13.5 mph, so any calm-conditions improvement is offset there. May brings warmer highs (+7°F) but adds three more rain days and slightly less wind, making April the better choice if rain avoidance is your priority.
