When its raining out, are courses open? Do people actually play golf in the rain? Is it cheaper?

[jojocomok]

I play golf in the rain regularly. Especially at this time of year.
Here it costs as much as a regular round, dependant on the time of year. Unless the course is literally waterlogged it is open.

it isn't cheaper but you usually have the course to yourself.I love to play rain days for that reason.I'm not talking deluge or thunderstorm but drissle or light rain.

I never really liked playing in rain, etc but I'm willing to reconsider. Since I won those Nike Zoom Bandon shoes from THP I can't wait to try them out!

There are parts of the world where they wouldn't play much golf if they didn't play in the rain.

I'm lucky to live where it is rarely an issue. Most of our rain comes as summer thundershowers that hit and run in under an hour. They can be nasty as they are passing, and no, I don't stay out and play in them. Nobody does if he has his head screwed on right. But my rainsuit is the least used part of my golf wardrobe.

Some courses have a rain-check policy if it starts raining while you are playing.

When I've played in the rain, the course has been fairly deserted. That's nice, but eventually I am unable to keep my hands dry and my game suffers. It's worse when it's windy too, because there are holes where you get pelted in the face/eyes.

The courses around here will let you play in the rain as long as there is no lightning. And also as long as it hasn't rained enough for there to be standing water on the greens. When the big thunderstorms come through and dump an inch or two or more in a short time they will usually shut down for the rest of the day, even if it becomes nice again.

I usually won't play in the rain unless it is some sort of event or tournament. It doesn't really bother me, just something I would rather not do. Especially if it is cold. Cold and rain and golf do not mix well. If it is 80º and a quick shower comes through, that isn't a problem.

If it does start raining, courses are pretty good about allowing a rain check based on the number of holes you finished. I have never left without at least a 9 hole raincheck. Most times they will just give you a full 18 if you haven't made it through 14 or 15.

When I lived in the central US, I played fairly often in light rain and once in a while, we would get caught mid-round in a heavy downpour. I learned early on to keep a rainsuit in my bag and I also kept the club cover that came with the bag in there. Once you can keep the inside of the bag dry and put a dry towel under the umbrella, it really isn't too bad. As long as the course isn't totally waterlogged, it can be fun. Certainly is a learning experience.

I played in the rain a lot last year, sometimes when we should have just packed it in. I did find out they won't run you off the course because of lightning but you're playing at your own risk. I kind of like playing in bad conditions, it gives me an excuse for all of the bad shots that I hit.

you need to be run off the course when there's lightning?

[Todilrdc]

I usually play better in the rain, and its a great thrill. Raining pouring down, your hat dripping and you just pull off that great shot is magical. i love to golf in the rain.

Sadly yes, I've posted about some of the stupid stuff we did last year. It was that golf league I was playing in, those guys and at least one of the women are crazy! I'm going to try really hard not to play in those conditions this year.

When I hear thunder I'm outta there.I don't have to see the lightning.But I have friends like that and all they see is me departing.I'll make an appearance at the hosp. or wake if what can happen happens to them.

I HATE playing golf in the rain. I can't play when I'm wet. It distracts me.

Not my thing, either. There's too many nice days to be wet and miserable. Nothing is more disheartening than having a nice round planned, especially at a special venue, and then have it rain. Ruins everything.

If it's raining buckets I agree but a light drissle or light rain that's intermittent I don't have a problem.Then again I have a job that I work outside in all weather.

[Assunkkensatt]

I dont mind playing in a drizzle or on and off again showers, but not when its pouring buckets. I would tough it out if I was a member somewhere and could go right into a locker room after. I hate driving home in wet clothes.

Didn't you win some sweeeeeeet rain gear?

We both did I've actually used mine a few times already!

Played several tournaments in the rain last year. One was actually ended after 9 by the course. I dont like playing in a downpour at all despite the rain hat, suit and gloves and Gortex shoes. You still get wet and if it is windy it just makes for a tougher round. The good thing is I dont loose nearly as many balls because they just dont travel that far.
