February splits St. Augustine's golf crowd cleanly in two. For traveling golfers escaping colder climates, it's the clearest argument for booking a trip: highs of 68°F, only 10 precipitation days (the driest the calendar gets), and enough sun to fill a full day on the course without the summer humidity that makes August rounds a slog. The tradeoff is wind — at 13.1 mph peak, it's the third-windiest month of the year, and the exposed layouts along the coast will remind you of that on approach shots.
Local regulars know February differently. Tee times are in demand, rates reflect peak season pricing, and weekend mornings fill up fast with out-of-state visitors. If you live here year-round, January offers nearly identical conditions — same precip days, just 3°F cooler — and far less competition for tee sheets. Travelers, though, won't find a better window until the calendar flips toward spring.
Book at least two to three weeks out for weekend morning slots — peak season demand from visiting golfers compresses availability fast in February. Midweek afternoon tee times after 1 PM tend to open up more frequently and also let the 56°F overnight low warm toward the day's high before you tee off. See how conditions rate hour by hour on our playability scale.
February and January are nearly identical on paper — same 10 precipitation days, virtually the same wind (13.1 vs. 13.2 mph), just 3°F difference in average high — so locals who played January have little reason to rush back. Moving into March, the high climbs another 4°F to 72°F and lows rise to 60°F, which makes for more comfortable early-morning rounds, though you'll pick up one extra rain day and a slight uptick in wind to 13.4 mph. February sits in a narrow sweet spot: warmer than January, less wet than March, and still within the driest part of the year.

At an average high of 68°F, February is cooler than most Florida months but rarely uncomfortable by midday. The bigger variable is the morning low of 56°F, so early tee times require a layer. By afternoon the temperatures are well within a comfortable playing range.
February averages a peak wind of 13.1 mph, making it the third-windiest month of the year — just a hair calmer than January's 13.2 mph. That puts it in the moderate range, noticeable but manageable. Courses with open fairways or water exposure will amplify the effect, so factor in an extra club on longer par-3s and approach shots.
