We find spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) offer the most pleasant conditions for golf in Onslow County, with comfortable temperatures and less humidity. Summers can be quite hot and muggy, though you might find some good deals then if you don't mind early tee times. Winters are generally mild enough for play, but pack layers for cooler mornings.
