When is golf season?

When is golf season? It depends on where you live

Whether you live in a state that gives you beautiful sunshine all year (or most of the year) or can only make it out on the green for a few months, there is a golf season for where you are. When you can’t wait to break out the clubs, when is golf season? Know the best months to play depending on where you live and where you can enjoy year-round rides on a golf cart.

The Nothern states

When golf season is in the U.S. varies depending on where you live. Could you imagine playing golf in the winter in New England? We wouldn’t try it, either. In the Northern part of the country, the normal season starts in April and goes until October, with a possibility of early November if the weather cooperates. If you love fewer crowds and reduced rates, put your clubs to the test during “shoulder season,” which is those few weeks right before everyone closes up for the winter.

The Southern states

You can be out on the green for quite a few weeks longer in the Southern part of the U.S. The golf season starts around February and can go through November, giving you almost year-round tee times. But in the Southern parts, it’s the summer months you have to watch out for, where temps could bring heat stroke or conditions too hot to swing a club in.

There are a few pockets in the country where you could play a round any time of the year. 

  • California
  • Arizona
  • Florida

These states offer popular courses and gorgeous conditions to visit any time of the year. While each state still has a peak season and off-peak season, the climate will bring all the golfers to the green.

If you are in the southern part of the country, enjoy what the sunshine brings to the course all year. If you are in the northern part or somewhere like New England, know that you will put the clubs away from late fall until spring. Each state has a specific golf season, so look up the course or club near you or where you plan to vacation to know they have a tee time available.

NAVEE scores a win with the NAVEE ST3 Pro e-scooter. The flagship of NAVEE's electric scooter lineup successfully tackles ride quality, a highly desirable feature for electric scooters used for commuting. There's a lot to like with the ST3 Pro, including field-leading maximum speed and range numbers, but the company's patented Damping Arm Suspension system and self-healing 10-inch tires get most of the credit for a smooth ride that removes most of the bumps and jolts from cracks and irregularities in typical city streets.
NAVEE ST3 Pro e-scooter: Purpose and best use

The popularity and proliferation of e-bikes and electric scooters have driven the development of various micromobility solutions and usage niches. Due to its size, weight, and power, the ST3 Pro is an adult scooter that falls nicely into the commuting and urban alternative transportation categories.

Capilano Bridge: A gateway to BC’s rainforest, minutes from downtown Vancouver
My guide to a perfect day at Capilano Suspension Bridge Park
A pictur of the Capilano bridge surrounded by evergreens and empty

Just 15 minutes outside of downtown Vancouver, B.C., you'll find the Capilano Bridge, a 450-foot-long cedar-planked walkway placed 230 feet above the valley floor. While worth its own pilgrimage, the bridge is more than a one-hit wonder. It's one of dozens of attractions in Capilano Suspension Bridge Park's 27 acres of aerial walkways, carved totem poles, and mist-threaded rainforest. 

The coveted Park pulls off something rare: immersive, big, nature paired with all the creature comforts a visitor could want. While most people come to cross the Capilano Bridge, I opted to explore the other impressive aerial structures and bridges on site, which are equally remarkable and have fewer crowds.

Many of the features and design elements in this one-of-a-kind, 28-foot travel trailer are classic Airstream. But it also features a few firsts. Most notable is the dual-purpose lounge/sleep area anchored by a pair of twin beds that convert to a king (the largest bed ever in an Airstream) with the push of a button. Exclusive bolster pillows, tailored slipcovers, and quilted coverlets round out the space. The front lounge also transforms seamlessly between dinette and desk as needed, making this a true live/play/work travel trailer. The entire interior is awash in daylight thanks to 29 total windows—more than any other Airstream in history.
