Seasonal Look at Weather in Hilton Head SC

What can you expect from each season when you plan a Hilton Head golf vacation? Here is a quick glance.

  • Winter - Winters are mild and warmer along the coast beacause of the ocean winds. Golfers can often get away with short sleeves on the course. Bring a light jacket or sweater just in case. You will find nice rates at most golf courses during this time of year.
  • Spring - The weather in Hilton Head Island during spring is perfect for golf. So perfect that even the golf professionals make an appearance in April at the Verizon Heritage PGA event. April averages only 3.2 inches of rain and humidity levels are still low.
  • Summer - Two words describe the summer months in the south - heat and humidity. Book tee times early to beat the heat. Also choose a golf course closer to the coast where the ocean breeze cools the air.
  • Fall - Once again the Hilton Head South Carolina weather begins to cooperate and give golfers mild temperatures. September plays host to the annual Hilton Head Island Celebrity Golf Tournament. October and November are peak months for the golf industry with low rainfall averages, dropping humidity and higher golf course fees.
