Golf Techniques and Tips

I’m planning a golfing trip to Raleigh, North Carolina in March and I’m trying to figure out what the weather typically looks like during that time.

  • Average Temperatures: What can I expect in terms of highs and lows?
  • Rainfall: How often does it rain? Should I be worried about getting a round in?
  • Wind Conditions: Is it usually windy, and how does that affect play?

I’d love to hear from anyone who’s played there in March—what’s your experience been like? Are there specific weeks that are better than others? Any advice to ensure I don’t get rained out or deal with less-than-ideal weather conditions would be super helpful! Thanks in advance for any insights!
