Wind is the defining variable for golf in Tulsa in March. At 13.7 mph peak wind, it ranks as the second-windiest month of the year, and on the southern plains that number is felt on every exposed fairway. Temperatures have climbed — the average high reaches 63F, which sits at the lower edge of the ideal playing range — but a 20-degree daily swing from a 43F low means early morning rounds can still feel firmly like winter. Rain shows up on 12 days, tying July for fourth-wettest on the calendar. The month is playable, but it demands adjustments.
Club selection is the first thing wind reshapes. Expect to add one or two clubs into the prevailing south-to-north breeze, and plan for greens that dry and firm quickly between rain events. Afternoon rounds are generally warmer and more comfortable than morning starts, though wind speeds tend to build as the day progresses. Mid-morning is often the sweet spot.
With 12 rain days spread across the month, booking a flexible or replay-eligible tee time mid-week gives you the best chance of rescheduling around fronts. Aim for the 9–11 AM window when temperatures have risen off the morning low but before afternoon winds peak. See how conditions rate hour by hour on our playability scale.
March adds 10F of warmth over February's 53F average high, a meaningful jump, but it also brings three more precipitation days and a modest 0.6 mph increase in peak wind, so the improvement is mixed. April is warmer still at 70F and the most comfortable month for ball-striking, but it actually adds two more precip days and another 0.6 mph of wind over March. If you're choosing between the three, February is the calmest and driest, March offers better temperatures at the cost of more rain, and April gives the warmest conditions but the most wind and the most wet days.

March averages 13.7 mph peak wind, the second-highest of any month in Tulsa, so wind will affect nearly every round. It's manageable rather than prohibitive — most local golfers treat it as part of the challenge — but if calm conditions are important to you, February averages slightly less wind at 13.1 mph, though temperatures are colder.
Precipitation falls on about 12 days during the month, which is tied for fourth-wettest on the annual calendar. That doesn't mean 12 all-day washouts — many events are passing fronts — but it does mean checking a short-range forecast the night before is worth the habit. Courses here drain reasonably well after quick rain, and mid-week morning windows often clear faster than weekend slots.
