Why Any Time of Year is the Right Season to Play Florence Golf Links

Sandpines Golf Links, located along the stunning Oregon coast, is a golfer’s dream. With its mild climate, breathtaking scenery, and impeccable design, this course offers a fantastic golfing experience no matter the time of year. Whether you’re teeing off in the winter, spring, summer, or fall, Sandpines Golf Links has something special to offer. Here’s why any time of year is the perfect time to play this picturesque course.

Mild Winter Temperatures for Year-Round Play

One of the key factors that makes Sandpines Golf Links an ideal destination for golfers is the temperate climate of the region. While much of the country braces for cold, snowy conditions during the winter months, the Florence area enjoys relatively mild winter temperatures. Average highs hover around 50 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit, making it the perfect environment for a winter round of golf.

For those seeking an escape from harsher winter conditions elsewhere, Sandpines Golf Links offers an inviting respite. The cooler, but not freezing, temperatures make it easy to enjoy a round without battling the elements, such as ice, snow, or extreme cold. This mild winter climate also ensures that the greens remain in excellent condition, allowing golfers to focus on their game rather than worrying about weather-related interruptions.

Excellent Drainage for Spring and Fall Play

Sandpines Golf Links is built on a sand dune, which plays a vital role in its outstanding drainage. This makes the course an excellent choice during the spring and fall when other courses may struggle with soggy conditions. The sandy soil allows rainwater to quickly drain away, ensuring that the fairways, greens, and tees remain playable even after a heavy downpour.

In the spring, when other regions are dealing with wet, muddy courses, Sandpines Golf Links stands out as a reliable option. The combination of reliable drainage and temperate weather allows golfers to enjoy their rounds without worrying about puddles or muddy fairways. Similarly, in the fall, when autumn rains are common, the course remains firm and dry, offering a stress-free golfing experience.

Cooler Summer Temperatures Provide a Perfect Getaway

While summer can be a scorching season in many parts of the country, Sandpines Golf Links provides a cool and refreshing alternative. The course benefits from the coastal breeze, which keeps temperatures much lower than inland areas. During the hot summer months, Florence offers a welcome relief from the heat, making it an ideal destination for those looking to enjoy a comfortable round of golf.

Rather than sweltering in oppressive heat, golfers can relish the fresh air and cool temperatures, enhancing the overall golfing experience. The combination of ocean breezes and temperate weather makes Sandpines Golf Links a fantastic summer getaway, where golfers can play at their best without the discomfort of excessive heat.
