When to Golf St. George: A Season-by-Season Guide
Year-round golf, but the experience and price swing by season. When to come for perfect weather, when to come for value, and how to survive summer.
St. George golf is a year-round proposition, which is a big part of the appeal, but the experience and the price change a lot by season. Here is when to come and what to expect.
Fall and spring: the sweet spot
October and November, then March through May, are prime: warm days, cool mornings, and the red rock at its best. This is also peak season, so it is the busiest and the priciest, and the good morning tee times book out well ahead. If perfect weather matters most, come now and reserve early.
Winter: the local secret
December through February is the reason people move here. Days in the 50s and 60s and plenty of sunshine mean you are golfing in short sleeves while much of the country is shoveling snow. Rates soften a bit, courses are quieter, and mornings can be crisp, so tee off mid-morning once it warms. It is arguably the best value of the year.
Summer: early or not at all
June through September gets hot, often 100 to 110. Golf is still very much on, but only if you play the first tee times of the morning and get off the course before the heat lands. The upside is the lowest rates of the year and wide-open tee sheets. Bring twice the water you think you need and a lot of sunscreen.
The short version: spring and fall for perfect weather, winter for value and sunshine, summer at dawn only.
