March in Temecula, CA: variable for golf — mixed conditions — check the live score. Best tee times: late morning to early afternoon after dew burns off.
| Average March Weather | |
|---|---|
| Avg daily high | 64°F |
| Avg daily low | 45°F |
| Rainy days | 15 / mo |
| Avg peak wind | 10.4 mph |
March numbers look decent on paper — 64°F average high, winds at 10.4 mph — but the stats that actually shape your round are the 15 precipitation days and a 19°F daily swing. That combination means a morning tee time at 45°F can feel entirely different from an afternoon finish at 64°F, and a round that starts dry has a meaningful chance of picking up a shower before you reach the back nine. The 10.4 mph peak wind is technically the 5th-calmest of the year, so gusts won't be your main scorecard problem. Wet fairways and firm-then-soft greens will be. Ball flight in cold morning air runs shorter, approaches to soggy turf hold more than expected, and footing in the rough can cost you lies you wouldn't lose in summer.
The Variable tier badge on this page is earned, not assigned lightly. March is Temecula's wettest month outright — 15 precip days — so round-to-round conditions vary more than any other time of year. If you catch a clear afternoon window, the course plays beautifully. If you don't plan for the possibility of rain, you'll be underdressed and scrambling.
Book afternoon tee times (early-to-mid afternoon) to let the overnight cold lift past 50°F and to use the drier second half of the day's typical pattern — but confirm the forecast the night before, since 15 precip days spread across the month means cancellations are a real possibility and most Temecula courses fill Saturday mornings fast in the rare sunny stretches. See how conditions rate hour by hour on our playability scale.
February shares nearly the same average high (65°F vs. 64°F in March) and similar wind (10.1 vs. 10.4 mph), but it delivers only 8 precipitation days compared to March's 15 — making February a noticeably more reliable month to play. April is the clear step forward: the high jumps 8°F to 72°F and precip days drop sharply to 9, cutting the wet-round risk roughly in half while warming conditions back into the comfortable scoring range.

March averages 15 precipitation days, making it the wettest month of the year for the area. That doesn't mean 15 full rain-outs — many of those days see short showers — but it does mean the probability of encountering some rain during a round is higher in March than any other month. Checking a hourly forecast and booking a flexible tee time gives you the best chance of a dry round.
The 64°F average high is workable, but the 45°F average low means early morning rounds start cold enough to affect muscle warmth and ball compression. Most golfers find conditions comfortable once the temperature climbs past mid-morning, roughly 10–11 AM, so later tee times suit the month better than dawn patrol. A waterproof jacket that can come off at the turn is the practical solution.
