When is golf season?

When is golf season? It depends on where you live

Whether you live in a state that gives you beautiful sunshine all year (or most of the year) or can only make it out on the green for a few months, there is a golf season for where you are. When you can’t wait to break out the clubs, when is golf season? Know the best months to play depending on where you live and where you can enjoy year-round rides on a golf cart.

The Nothern states

When golf season is in the U.S. varies depending on where you live. Could you imagine playing golf in the winter in New England? We wouldn’t try it, either. In the Northern part of the country, the normal season starts in April and goes until October, with a possibility of early November if the weather cooperates. If you love fewer crowds and reduced rates, put your clubs to the test during “shoulder season,” which is those few weeks right before everyone closes up for the winter.

The Southern states

You can be out on the green for quite a few weeks longer in the Southern part of the U.S. The golf season starts around February and can go through November, giving you almost year-round tee times. But in the Southern parts, it’s the summer months you have to watch out for, where temps could bring heat stroke or conditions too hot to swing a club in.

There are a few pockets in the country where you could play a round any time of the year. 

  • California
  • Arizona
  • Florida

These states offer popular courses and gorgeous conditions to visit any time of the year. While each state still has a peak season and off-peak season, the climate will bring all the golfers to the green.

If you are in the southern part of the country, enjoy what the sunshine brings to the course all year. If you are in the northern part or somewhere like New England, know that you will put the clubs away from late fall until spring. Each state has a specific golf season, so look up the course or club near you or where you plan to vacation to know they have a tee time available.

Helinox reimagined its OG packable camp chair (again) with the Chair One (re)
Even stronger, more stable, and more eco-friendly, this is the last camp chair you may ever need to buy.

Packable camp furniture (everything from chairs to tables to folding camp sofas) is so ubiquitous in the loadouts of almost every backpacker, car camper, and overlander these days. Improving on such a simple concept might seem impossible, but that's exactly what the good folks at Helinox have done with their latest Chair One (re) camp chair.

Helinox, the California brand that singlehandedly kicked off the packable camp furniture craze with the debut of the Chair One, has reimagined and redesigned it as the Chair One (re). This latest iteration adds a number of improvements, including dual-tension technology. It's essentially a second tension line within the chair's perimeter that better distributes weight for improved stability and comfort. The company further redesigned the nylon resin hubs and a 30% taller underseat crossbar. The result? It's much easier to get in and out of, plus there's no more wobbling on soft sand beaches and uneven campsite ground. The new Chair One High-Back (re) offers the same improvements, plus better shoulder and upper-back support.

Camping just got a lot easier … with a shoe organizer?
Here's how a shoe organizer can make your camping trip great
Shoe organizer

Camping is all about adventure and relaxation, but nothing ruins the experience faster than a messy campsite. If you've ever found yourself rummaging through bags for your flashlight or struggling to keep your hygiene items off the ground, a hanging shoe organizer can help.

Personally, I love shoe organizers. As someone who lives in a shoebox apartment, they are an absolute must to keep my shoes tidy and tucked away. But believe it or not, they are actually pretty handy at keeping the chaos at bay when you go camping, too. Here's everything you need to know about camping with a shoe organizer.

Airstream’s Basecamp 20Xe is an all-electric reboot of its most popular trailer
With massive solar and power generation potential, it's purpose-built for serious off-grid camping

Few brands symbolize "the classic American road trip" like Airstream's iconic "silver bullet" RVs. But it might surprise you to learn that its most popular model is actually one of its newest. The Airstream Basecamp is arguably the company's most versatile and adventure-ready towable, but the new-for-2025 20Xe model takes the micro-trailer squarely into the future.
Everything we know about the 2025 Airstream Basecamp 20Xe travel trailer

Billed as the company's "first all-electric functioning travel trailer," Airstream confirmed in an official press release that "the Xe model expands upon the compact, adventure-built Basecamp 20 Travel Trailer floor plan with powerful electric capabilities to take exploration farther and longer." Some of the company's previous releases, including the eStream Concept Travel Trailer and Trade Wind Travel Trailer, were purpose-built to maximize their electric potential. The latter is still one of the most off-grid-capable mainstream travel trailers in recent memory, with a 3,000-watt inverter, 600 watts of rooftop solar, and an internally stored 810Ah heated lithium battery bank. Combined, it's enough juice to run the microwave and AC simultaneously without a shore power connection.
