Is it too wet to golf today?

It depends on the course. DryLies gives every course near you a live dry, spongy, or wet status, so you know before you load the clubs.

Why one course is dry and the next is a swamp

After the same rain, a sandy links course can be firm and fast by mid-morning while a heavy clay course down the road stays cart-path-only all day. So "is it too wet to golf" has no single answer. It is per course.

DryLies calls it two ways. A weather model reads the last 48 hours of rainfall against each course's soil drainage and the day's drying rate (temperature, sun, wind). On top of that, real golfers on-site report what they actually see underfoot. You get one clear color, green, yellow, or red, plus the reasoning behind it.

Common questions

Is it too wet to golf today?

It depends on the course. A sandy, well-drained course can be dry a few hours after rain that would close a heavy clay course for a day. DryLies gives each course a live green, yellow, or red status by reading the last 48 hours of rainfall against that course's drainage and folding in reports from golfers on-site.

How do I find golf course conditions near me?

Open the DryLies radar. It shows live turf status for courses near you, sorted by distance. Tap any course for the full read: rainfall, drainage, cart rules, frost delays, and today's driest window.

How does DryLies know if a course is wet?

Two signals. A weather model reads 48 hours of rainfall against the course's soil drainage and the day's drying rate. On top of that, real golfers on-site report what they see. We show both so you know if the course and the model disagree.

Is DryLies free?

Yes. The live status for any course is free, on the web and in the app. DryLies+ ($4.99/mo) adds the 7-day drying trend, a best-day-to-play view, and push alerts when your favorite course flips back to dry.
