How the Golf Weather Index Works

The Golf Weather Index scores each location from 1 to 10 using National Weather Service forecast data at 2.5km resolution across the contiguous United States. It is updated daily and reflects conditions most golfers describe as ideal for a round.

Six factors are scored and combined:

🌡️ Temperature Peak score at 60–75°F. Cold and extreme heat penalized.
💨 Wind Strongest weight. Scores drop sharply above 15 mph.
⛅ Cloud Cover Partly cloudy (10–30%) scores highest. Full overcast scores lowest.
💧 Humidity Low dewpoint = higher score. Muggy conditions penalized.
🌂 Rain Chance Above 30% chance begins to significantly lower scores.
🌧️ Precipitation Any meaningful QPF lowers the score substantially.

A score of 10 means near-perfect golf conditions. A score of 1 means conditions are poor — too cold, too windy, or too wet to enjoy a round comfortably.
