That’s so true! Plus, the scenery at dusk can be breathtaking. Have you ever spotted wildlife while playing?

Absolutely! I once saw a family of deer on the course during twilight. Moments like that make the experience even more memorable!
But don’t forget your bug spray! The twilight hours can make you a target for mosquitoes. A bit of caution goes a long way!
Good point! I learned that the hard way during a round last summer. Always worth having some on hand!

And don’t forget to keep an eye on your ball! It’s easier to lose sight of it as the sun goes down.
So true! I’ve played some rounds where my last few holes were a struggle to find my ball. More than once I’ve resorted to glow sticks!
Glow sticks on golf balls? That sounds hilarious! I might have to try that next time. Twilight golf is really all about having fun!
So true! It’s less about scores and more about enjoying the game and the company.

Twilight golf has its charm, but it can also be frustrating if you prefer to see every detail of the course. I just don’t know if I can fully agree with the idea that it’s better.
Twilight golf usually starts around 6 PM, but check your local sunset times. Planning to tee off about 2-3 hours before dark can maximize your playtime!

Great point! I always set up my gear the night before. It saves time and ensures I’m ready to go. Don’t forget to pack extra balls and a headlamp just in case!
I love twilight rounds! A quick walk before your round can help you gauge the course layout. Also, focus on your short game to make the most of your limited daylight!
Absolutely! Preparation is key. I even have a checklist for my equipment to avoid last-minute stress.
That’s a good idea, travisbarron! Plus, playing with a friend just makes it more enjoyable, even when it’s getting dark. How do you handle lighting while putting?
Also, consider playing with a partner. It makes the pace quicker, and you can share tips along the way. Those last few holes can be tricky as daylight fades!

Using a brighter ball can help during twilight! I’ve had success with colored balls—makes it easier to spot when it starts getting dark.
Definitely! Also, I recommend avoiding the longer clubs to keep your game efficient as daylight fades.
What time do you guys usually end up finishing your rounds during twilight? I’ve played until almost 9 PM before!
Around 9 PM sounds about right! Just remember to keep track of the time. Losing track and ending up in darkness can make for some scary golf shots, haha!
Haha, I agree! I’ve had a few close calls with that! Now I set reminders on my phone to keep track.
