Fall has officially begun, and we couldn’t be more pleased about it. Here’s why we love autumn golfing the best of any season.1. More AvailabilityGenerally speaking, the summer is the busiest time for golf. That means that, as autumn comes on, you’ll notice that your preferred course is less busy and has more tee times available. We love having more options available for tee times, so we can pick our preferred time (or just go more frequently). Sure, summertime golf is nice, but summer crowds we can do without.2. Changing LeavesOne of the things every golfer likes most about getting out on the course is being able to connect with nature and enjoy the scenery. Research even shows that spending time appreciating nature can improve mental health and decrease stress. Fall is the best time to do this because the foliage is changing color and putting on a vibrant show. When everything is looking lush and crisp, it’s easier to really appreciate the beauty of nature that comes along with the activity of golf.3. Cheaper RatesMost golf clubs offer discounted rates in the autumn months because they see a drop in visitors as summer comes to an end. And you know how much we like deals. Fall golf discounts mean you can enjoy plenty of golf in the autumn while saving money for your next golf trip or those new clubs you’ve had your eye on.4. Staying Cool on the CourseLook, summer golf is great and all, but we’re sure tired of being soaked in sweat from the summer heat as soon as we step out onto the course (see our tips to stay cool on the course on hot days). As the weather cools off a little, it’s more comfortable to be outside for longer periods of time, making it easier to enjoy a long afternoon of golf without turning into a puddle by the end of the day.5. Discounts in the Pro ShopIf you’ve had your eye on some new gear in the pro shop, now is the time to finally get it. Because golf clubs are less busy in the fall, this tends to be when the pro shop has great discounts on all of that stuff you’ve been wanting but couldn’t quite justify buying–until now. Make sure to check out your pro shop on your next autumn golf excursion, you just might find some incredible deals.6. The Course is in Great ShapeTurfgrass thrives in colder weather. With heavier morning dew promoting growth, the fairways are lush and green during autumn. Not only that, but greens have usually been aerated over the summer and fewer players at this time of year means fewer divots, so the course is smooth and in the best shape possible.7. Playing the ‘Leaf Rule’Most golfers play the “leaf rule” in the fall. That’s when you lose your ball in the fallen leaves and simply drop a new ball and take a one-stroke penalty. This means a more laid back, leisurely way of playing. We don’t know about you, but we love a relaxed game of golf!8. Playing at Your Own PaceFewer golfers on the course means less waiting around for the party in front of you to take their shots, as well as less pressure to hurry up your shot to accommodate the party behind you. Autumn golfing is great because you can go at your own preferred pace.9. The WindWoah, did we just get way better at our long drives, or is the wind carrying the ball for us? Either way, we’ll take it.Yes, the wind can be a hindrance, but it can also make your shots go further and make for a fun, memorable golf experience! 10. Post-Game Irish CoffeesWe love a post-golf drink at the club, and fall means perfect weather for steaming hot Irish coffees.
