Hottest And Wettest Golf Courses In America

April 16, 2026

Golf's toughest opponent can sometimes be the weather. Furnace Creek Golf Course in Death Valley National Park is the hottest course in America, sitting 214 feet below sea level with summer temperatures routinely approaching 120 degrees. On the wet side, TPC Louisiana in southeastern Louisiana is known as the wettest stop on the PGA Tour, with around 60 inches of rain annually and frequent Gulf Coast thunderstorms. Grand Reserve Golf Club in Puerto Rico also contends for the wettest with nearly 60 inches of rainfall, humidity, trade winds, and sudden downpours. From desert heat to tropical rain, these extreme weather courses humble even the greatest golfers.
