I agree with Alf. We need to know what part of the U.S. you will be in.

In the winter, the best course conditions will be in the southern part of the U.S., in places like Florida, Texas, Arizona, and Southern California. But that doesn't mean courses in some other parts of the country won't be playable too. But if you are going somewhere like, say, North Dakota . . . well, you may be out of luck.

I don't have a travel plan. So all the continental US is ok.

Myrtle Beach, the great golf mecca, is perfect at 69F and rainfall (2.8") is at one its minimums so I'd head there to start.

As others have said, stay in the southern part of the States. Florida has some wonderful golf courses you can play any time of the year.

When are you going? I ask this because some may consider November to be Winter and there's a difference in weather from November to February.

I would generally suggest Florida, starting no further north than Orlando, Southern California, and Hawaii. You're pretty much guaranteed quality weather in those places.

If you stray from there, I would say go no further north than South Carolina and if yo do go in South Carolina or Georgia, stick to the coast as it's much, much warmer and better weather. I live in Atlanta and used to live in Myrtle Beach and Myrtle Beach has far, far better weather in the winter than Atlanta does, despite Atlanta being slightly south of Myrtle.

Texas is good, but I would suggest being no further north than Austin. Phoenix should be good, but it's still a question mark.

I'd suggest Myrtle if you can avoid December and January. January is the only month that usually gets crappy weather in Myrtle. You don't know what you're going to get in December in Myrtle, so that woudl be too risky.

I hear early november is a great time to play Bandon Dunes. The temps will still be in the 60's and the rates drop precipitously. 2 weeks later they take another steep drop, but then you are taking your chances with the weather.

I'm hoping to play my first round at Bandon late this coming fall.

What's in my bag:
Cleveland Hibore XLS Monster Driver
TourEdge Exotics 2,3,4 hybrid irons
Tommy Armour 845cs Silverbacks 5-PW
Assorted wedges, Ping Scottsdale Anser


Come to Massachusetts, golf is great here in January! =(

Pro M Gunmetal 5-PW, Nippon 1150GH Pro SVokey Oil Can 52 - RAWVokey Spin Milled Oil Can 56, 60 - RAWTEI3 Newport II - Torch Copper- Prov1x


Can't go wrong with the Palm Springs, CA. area. Particularly the La Quinta resorts...

Callaway RazrFit Extreme 9.5 w/Project X 6.5
Callaway XHot Pro 15* 3Wood w/Project X 6.5
Callaway XTour 18* 2h w/S300
Callaway XHot Pro 4/5 irons w/S300
Callaway XForged III 5-PW irons w/S300
Callaway Forged 52*/58* Wedges
Odyssey 7 Versa 90
Callaway Hex Black Tour


thanks for the replays. I have discovered that many courses in NV and AZ will accept solo golfers. I think that I will go there.

    • Day 16 - Mostly lag putting today, with a focus on shoulders turning. 
    • Day 171 - 2025-03-20 Got a good 30 minutes in today. A little backswing so it doesn't get too far out of hand, then some downswing stuff. If I'm in a good spot at the top I have a chance even without the best downswing.
    • First day of spring and we had colossal snowflakes here.   The temperature has dropped significantly.   I may not get to golf until mid-April.  
    • Welcome to TST.   We're glad you've joined.   How exciting to see a hole-in-one.   They are rare.  Congratulations on getting the golfing bug.   It can be contagious and expensive!  
    • So to start with I’m 67 years old and just returned to the game a month or so ago after a 30+ year break. . To give you an idea of how long I’ve been away from golf, there were no hybrids last time I got serious about it. I’m enjoying it and seeing gains/improvement every time out. That said, I’m playing with antique woods (Old Taylormade Burners) and since I’m playing with Callaway irons (2004 BBs) I’d like to stick with the brand and upgrade to Callaway woods - at least a driver and a 3 for now.   For a glimpse of my ability, I hit the 3 wood 200 yards and more or less straight, and I think I newer tech clubs might help. Also I’m 6’5” and these clubs are a bit short for me, by 1 1/2” or so.   So looking at the gillions of perfectly fine looking Callaway drivers on eBay I’m completely overwhelmed and under-informed. I’m also doing this on a self-imposed budget since I’m not good enough to warrant new, exotic, pricey stuff and I’m pretty sure anything made in the last 20 years will do nicely.    So given all that, anyone have any specific suggestions on a good/prefered model Callaway driver that can be had for around $50? If I earn better gear by improving my performance I’ll go after it then, get fitted for clubs again, all that. But for now my goal is bogey golf so I’m limiting my golf allowance accordingly.    Thanks, cheers, and happy golfing.  As examples, I’m looking at RAZR, BBII, X460, Fusion FT series, Diablo, etc. and I can’t tell if they are all good and I should just shop price or if one or more are preferable over others. TIA…
