    Late in the day, usually after work. Generally have the course to myself. That low angle light really brings out

    the contours of the course !

    Going out right after the early morning rabbits have cleared the first few holes, and before the noon-ers come in to tee off, love those 9am/10am tee times.

    I love getting out early in the morning, but I also love playing as late in the day as daylight will allow in the summer. It is typically a quite time on my home course and the temperature is cooling down.

    No better time than a tee off between 6:00 AM and 6:30 AM.  Not a fan of the late day starts...

    I would love that if the club would allow that.  I want to go off first which is 7am at my club.  I love nothing more than having dew on the grass, cool breeze in the air, and no one in front of me to take the flow away.  I am a walker (I hate carts) and that morning stroll with the wife or buddies is the highlight of the day. 

    It also leaves time for the emergency 9 or 18 :) and plenty of day left for the honey do list

    Have always been an early player.  When I worked went off at 7 am on Saturday and Sunday and when I retired and joined a mens league, we tee off at 812 am.   We are pass holders at a very popular City Municipal course and playing in the afternoon can be rather long and rounds over four hours loose my interest.  Our morning tee times are pretty booked solid with local regular groups. Playing in Charleston, SC area, the temperatures in the months of June, July, August and into September can be murderous.   Most of us walk and are seniors, so mornings are best for us.  I would love to see more people walking who are physically capable, particularly the younger golfers.  On those hot sunny days, we put up out umbrellas on our push carts and away we go and drink lots of water.   A lot of clubs limit walking times on the course to the afternoon.  Cuts into revenues on the carts and the reason for 7 am and 730 am openings is to allow the crews to mow the greens do morning preps and get out of the way of the golfers.  We do not need to be hitting into maintenance crews. Patience is a virtue.  Cheers, Chuck

    First tee time in the morning. Live in Kansas, so there is less wind and heat. As with other players, have plenty of the day left to do less fun stuff. Love to play.
  8. I love the late afternoons-very few on the course-shadows lingering over the fairways-very serene time

    The best time of the day during day light savings time is late in the day. Not only can you enjoy your time without all the presure from being pushed , but makes for a enjoyable experience.

    I agree. Love early tee times. Quiet, no one ahead of you, and sometimes no one behind for a long time.

    Evening without a doubt.  There's nothing like having the course to yourself when the sun is setting and the air becomes calm and cool.  And no better way to wrap up a day.  Great question, Jack!

    Absolutely Rick, an after work day smash from the first tee cures all ills that the day created at least till the following morning. That feeling of ending the day with some good play with good company will never get old.

    Early in the am to be 1 of the first out or later in the day and hang out after for dinner.

    Evenings are my favorite. I like to be the last man in.

    Depends... I always prefer early morning but in the summer in Chicago anytime is good but later in the day such as twilight usually have better deals and of course stay out longer. In the fall depending on where you play the late afternoons are nice. Always prefer the mornings though. Golf just seems to be better that way

    I enjoy playing in the morning or at dusk . Unless it's spring or fall in PA then mid afternoon when it's a little warmer , Or anytime during the week it's not as busy

    Middle of the day- fairways and greens are dry, feet stay dry, no looking into sun, and few people on the course.    Thanks to all players who play early: they are not in my way, and they helped sweep the dew.    

    You Never see pros playing with wet grass - the course workers handle the dew.
