Ask a group of Myrtle Beach golf regulars whether spring or fall is the best time to visit, and you’re likely to start a friendly debate. Both seasons offer outstanding golf, but many golfers give the edge to fall thanks to comfortable temperatures, lower humidity, and ideal playing conditions.

From early September through November, the Grand Strand delivers some of the year’s most enjoyable golf weather. Summer begins to loosen its grip, courses remain in excellent condition, and the days are perfect for spending as much time on the course as possible.

Here’s what you can typically expect during fall golf season.

September

While September is technically the beginning of fall, it still offers plenty of summer warmth—just with noticeably more comfortable mornings and evenings. As the month progresses, humidity begins to ease, making it easier to enjoy long days on the golf course.

With warm afternoons and extended daylight, September remains one of the best months for golfers looking to squeeze in 36 holes or combine golf with time at the beach.

Typical High: 83–86°F
Typical Low: 68–72°F

October

For many golfers, October is the sweet spot of the Myrtle Beach golf calendar.

Afternoons are warm without being hot, mornings are cool enough for a light quarter-zip, and humidity is typically much lower than during the summer months. The comfortable weather makes it easy to enjoy 18 or even 36 holes, followed by an evening at one of the Grand Strand’s restaurants, pubs, or entertainment venues.

Typical High: 74–78°F
Typical Low: 56–61°F

November

November brings crisp mornings, mild afternoons, and can bring some of the most comfortable golf weather of the year.

While you’ll likely start your round with a pullover, daytime temperatures typically warm into the upper 60s or low 70s. Daylight Saving Time also ends in early November, meaning the sun sets earlier than it does in September and October. Golfers planning 36 holes—or those hoping to tee off later in the afternoon—should keep the shorter days in mind when booking tee times. The payoff? Some of the most spectacular late-afternoon light and sunsets of the year.

Typical High: 67–72°F
Typical Low: 46–52°F

Whether you’re planning an annual buddies trip, a couples getaway, or your first Myrtle Beach golf vacation, it’s easy to see why so many golfers return each fall.

The only real downside? You’re not the only one planning a trip.

From mid-September through October and into early November, Myrtle Beach enters one of its busiest stretches of the golf season. During this peak fall window, the most popular tee times, accommodations, and golf packages can book well in advance.

If a fall Myrtle Beach golf trip is on your calendar, it’s worth planning early to secure your preferred courses, lodging, and tee times.
