Where to go

1. Wilmington, North Carolina

Rank 1 isn’t a trophy — it’s a forecast fit. Wilmington (North Carolina) lands near 80°F with only light rain on the books (~0.08 in), which is exactly the band people want for dry, mild course days.

Call it a hidden gem or a familiar favorite — either way, the point is the outlook. Travelers trying to find your perfect weather for 2026-09-20 – 2026-09-27 should shortlist Wilmington before the hotter or wetter options crowd the tab.

Use it as a concrete recommendation: fly or drive for golf weather, keep an eye on updates, and treat 80°F as your planning anchor — not a vague “nice weather somewhere.”

Rank 2 isn’t a trophy — it’s a forecast fit. Greenville (South Carolina) lands near 81°F with only light rain on the books (~0.10 in), which is exactly the band people want for dry, mild course days.

What makes Greenville useful isn’t hype; it’s timing. For 2026-09-20 – 2026-09-27, it reads like a place where you can help plan a short getaway around dry, mild course days and still have a backup café if a cloud shows up.

Bottom line for Greenville: it’s on this list because it supports current recommendations for dry, mild course days, not because it always trends on social. That’s the difference between a real weather guide and a postcard.
