I like playing in the morning.  Get up, have breakfast, take out the dog, and hit the course.  Probably 8:30 is my favorite time.  Can get in breakfast and a little warm up without having to get up at 5:30!  Though I kind of like dawn rounds too.  There's something nice about getting up in the dark and teeing off in the gloaming!

Honestly I play whenever I can though.  If a twilight round is what I can get in, then hell yeah I'll play late.

First off. My home course starts play at 8:00am. A friend and I play 18 holes in a comfortable 2:15 with  out rushing or waiting and we are home by 10:30 with the rest of the day ahead of us.

My second favorite is finishing at twilight.

well that depends on my mood, i am really a morning person so i love to tee off some where around 8 am while my mind is still fresh, but i play whenever i get the chance, i love to get out there with some good old friends and have a little friendly match, losers have to pay dinner.

I'm an afternoon person also because of the reasons you state. It's productive time spent playing and the course looks great when the sun descends. The only slight negative is that the greens get longer and could get choppy from groups. Actually, just get me on a golf course any time of the day.

I live in NE Ohio where we're lucky to see 2 weeks a year where it's warm and dry enough to tee it up before 10am ... EVER!  That said, I do not like playing in the cold with a jacket zipped up to my chin and in wet, early morning conditions.

Perfect Sunday golf day in NE Ohio:  Eat breakfast and surf golfnow.com for a noon - 1pm tee time at a nice track for the wife and me. Tee off around 1pm, play 18 in about 4 hours then find a nice outdoor restaurant for a burger and beer afterwards.

We were fortunate this year to be able to play nearly every Sunday from May through end of September with only one or two rain outs.  Plus, my wife is a pretty good player and much easier on the eyes than the knuckleheads I play with on Thursdays!

    • Day 4, 1/2/26.  Played 18 today;  didn't get a chance to warm up (had I known the range was closed, I'd have hit balls at home first).  Played okay, 92 with three balls in the water.  It was raining for more than half the round and I didn't quite appreciate before today just how much I benefit from roll on both drives and approach shots.  I did not adapt well to this change until about hole 15, which is something I have to figure out.  
    • Day 143 1-2 Arch wrist in downswing. Having a SLIGHT cup in the lead wrist at the top now. Only paused swings with some rehearsals before swinging at ball.  Used foam ball. 
    • Day 459 - 2026-01-02 Had two guys on GEARS Hybrid, so I hopped on afterward (I'm going to do this a lot more often now). So… I've signed myself up for another month of backswing work in two ways: A little more extension of the trail elbow (got into the upper 90s) Less pelvis turn (low 50s).
    • Day 31 (2 Jan 26) - Usual Friday men’s group shootout - good day of shot making  as most shots were right on line to the target point.  Putter and green reads were solid with some great par saves and a really tricky birdie.  
    • Day 13 - 2026-01-02 One hour short game work. Chipping balls to different targets, compass putting drill with 2-3% slope.
