February in Virginia Beach, VA: shoulder season for golf — playable with smart tee time selection. Best tee times: late morning to early afternoon after dew burns off.

February in Virginia Beach is a month that sorts golfers into two camps pretty quickly. Traveling golfers chasing mild winter sun will find this a tough sell — a 53°F average high and 17.6 mph peak winds put it firmly in shoulder season, and the 13 precipitation days mean you're dealing with unsettled skies roughly every other day. The course is open, but comfort is not guaranteed.
Local regulars, on the other hand, often see February as a low-pressure window. Tee sheets are thin, pace of play is fast, and anyone accustomed to coastal wind already knows how to club up into a nor'easter breeze. The 13°F daily swing from low 40s at dawn to the low 50s by midday means timing your round for the 11 AM–2 PM window makes a real difference — layers go on and come off, and the ball flight is noticeably more predictable once the air warms slightly.
Book a late-morning tee time — 10 AM to noon — to let the temperature climb away from the overnight low of 40°F before you tee off, since February mornings on the coast can feel raw even without rain. Demand is low this month, so last-minute booking is realistic, but weekend slots near the coast still fill when weather forecasts look promising. See how conditions rate hour by hour on our playability scale.
February is nearly identical to January — just 2°F warmer on the high and the same 13 precipitation days and 17.6 mph peak wind, so don't expect a dramatic change from the previous month. March, however, delivers a meaningful jump: a 7°F warmer average high of 60°F nudges conditions toward the lower end of the ideal range, though peak wind actually ticks up slightly to 18.1 mph and precip days hold flat at 13. If you're on the fence between months, March is the clear step forward.

If you're a local or a golfer comfortable with cold, firm conditions, February works fine — tee sheets are uncrowded and rounds move fast. Traveling golfers expecting comfortable temperatures should note the 53°F average high and 17.6 mph peak winds, and consider that March's 60°F average high is only a month away.
February ties January as the 3rd-windiest month of the year locally, with a peak wind of 17.6 mph — enough that the open, flat coastal holes here regularly demand one to two extra clubs on into-wind approaches. The wind comes off the water with little to deflect it, so shot shape and ball flight are genuine variables on nearly every exposed hole.
