How to Use the Golf Round Outfit Guide
This tool takes your tee time temperature and recommends the right outfit plus warmth or cooling items to bring. It gives you a quick answer when an early morning or late-autumn round makes the right clothing choice unclear.
Outfit Guidelines by Temperature
At 82°F and above, cooling gear is essential for a hot round, while 54-68°F suits a long-sleeve and vest combination. Below 41°F you'll want a thermal base layer, a windproof jacket, and hand warmers for full cold protection.
Must-Have Items by Season
A cooling towel and neck gaiter in summer, and hand warmers with thermal gloves in winter, make a huge difference in how comfortable your round feels. Early morning tee times can run cooler than midday, so bring an outer layer that's easy to remove once you warm up.
