Many people think of golf as a summer sport or hobby. But it might be even more enjoyable during the off season. Golfing in the fall at Old Hawthorne can be preferable for some golfers for several reasons:
- Cooler Temperatures: Fall typically brings cooler and more comfortable temperatures than the uncomfortable summer heat. Playing golf in milder weather makes the experience more enjoyable, as you won’t have to contend with extreme heat and humidity.
- Less Crowded Courses: Many golf courses tend to be less crowded in the fall. This means shorter wait times, a more relaxed pace of play, and a quieter, more peaceful golfing experience.
- Beautiful Scenery: The changing foliage at Old Hawthorne provides a stunning backdrop for your golf game. The vibrant colors of the leaves can make the course more visually appealing and create a unique atmosphere.
- Firmer Course Conditions: Fall can bring firmer and faster course conditions. The ground dries out after the summer rains, and the grass is now in excellent condition, providing an opportunity for better ball roll and more strategic play.
- Fewer Insects: Compared to the summer months, fall is a season with fewer insects and pests. This makes your golfing experience more comfortable without the annoyance of swarming and pestering insects.
It’s important to note that preferences for golfing conditions vary among golfers. While some people may prefer the cooler, quieter, and more visually appealing aspects of fall golf, others may enjoy the challenge of summer golf and the lush, green course conditions it offers.
