April sits at the hinge between Tulsa's cool, relatively dry spring and its wetter, warmer late-spring stretch — and that position cuts both ways. Temperatures climb to a 70°F average high, a meaningful 7-degree jump from March, making midday rounds genuinely comfortable. But April is also Tulsa's windiest month of the year at 14.3 mph peak wind, and at 14 precip days it ranks as the second-wettest month on the calendar. The 19°F daily swing from a 51°F low to that 70°F high means morning tee times can feel a full season cooler than afternoon rounds.
Play is absolutely possible — shoulder-season rounds here often deliver lush, recently-watered fairways and moderate crowds — but April in Tulsa demands flexibility. Wind will shape club selection on nearly every exposed hole, and a forecast that looks clear at 6 AM can shift by noon.
Book morning slots early in the week when storm systems are easier to track a few days out; April's 14 precipitation days are spread unevenly, and a midweek window after a front passes often delivers the month's best conditions. Afternoon tee times carry the double risk of building storms and peak afternoon gusts, so reserve them only if the 48-hour forecast is clean. See how conditions rate hour by hour on our playability scale.
March is the easier month to manage: two fewer rainy days, a 0.6 mph lighter peak wind, and a 7°F cooler average high that still sits comfortably in the low 60s without the wind exposure April brings. Step forward into May and temperatures warm another 8 degrees to a 78°F high, but precipitation jumps by three additional days to 17, making May the year's wettest month. April threads the needle — warmer than March but drier than May, though it earns its own headaches as Tulsa's windiest month.

April is playable and greens are in good shape coming out of spring rains, but it's the windiest month of the year at 14.3 mph peak wind and logs 14 precipitation days — second-most of any month. It rewards flexible scheduling more than any other spring month; pick your window carefully and conditions can be excellent.
April averages a 14.3 mph peak wind, the highest of any month in Tulsa, and the open prairie terrain around most courses gives that wind little to slow it down. Plan on one to two extra clubs on into-the-wind shots and expect putting lines to be affected on elevated or exposed greens. Teeing off earlier in the day typically means lighter winds before afternoon gusts develop.
