Why Fall is the Greatest Time of Year for Golfing

BY Jenica September 14, 2021

According to the PGA, autumn is the greatest time of year to play a round of golf and there’s many reasons why! If you’re looking to pick up a new hobby or maybe just want to dust off those clubs sitting in your garage, check out these incentives to pique your interest.

Weather

Each summer seems to get warmer each year with many people less likely to want to brave 18 holes in 100-degree weather. Fall temperatures mellow out making it the perfect time to make your way to the golf course. Even those brisk mornings that hint at winter frost are great for breaking out those fall sweaters. Bonus points if you opt out of the golf cart for walking to keep yourself warm!

More access on the course which means discounted rates

Once the summer season ends, many courses enter a slow season. People return to the office leaving the green somewhat empty. To incentivize guests to visit, many rounds of golf are heavily discounted. Personal trainers are also less busy making it easier to schedule a private session. Not only are you getting great deals on your game, but you also get to enjoy a much less crowded course!

Scenery

Let’s be real, the best part of fall is the gorgeous scenery, and many courses seem to have the best parts of it! The land has been pampered and groomed all summer long which leads to hundreds of trees painting their warm colors across the green. 

Best time to invest in equipment as everything goes on sale

Similar to the discounted rates on rounds of golf, most equipment hits the sale racks once school is back in session. If you’re looking for the best prices to get started, start checking the inventory around September to see what goodies you can find at a fraction of the cost! A complete set of golf clubs can regularly cost anywhere between $250 to $1,000 depending on brand and player. Just remember that expensive clubs are no substitute for practice! 

So, whether you just want to hit the driving range with a few friends or you want to play all day at the club, get out and enjoy the weather, the discounts, the scenery and make the most of it!
