Local Tip

Always book your tee times well in advance, especially if you're visiting during the peak season (November-April) and aiming for a specific course or time. Prime morning slots fill up quickly! Consider an early tee time to enjoy cooler temperatures and potentially faster play.

Best Time to Go

While the peak season offers perfect conditions, the shoulder months of May and October can also be excellent for golf. You'll still find great weather, often with fewer crowds and slightly lower green fees. Just be mindful that late summer (August-September) can be quite hot and humid, though mornings are still playable.
