The hottest part of the day depends on what surface you are playing on:
- if golf, on grass, then probably between 1pm and 2pm
- if tennis/pickleball on tarmac then probably between 2pm and 3pm
but, as previous poster said, one can adapt to the summer heat quite quickly, especially if you stay hydrated.

It’s never too hot, or cold, to play outside in the villages in my opinion. The hotter or colder the better in my opinion, I don’t like crowds. Nothing like having a sports pool or Championship golf course practically to yourself : ) Just dress appropriately, use sun protection, and stay hydrated. Below 45 and above 95 degrees are the sweet spots, most people stay indoors. And you’re correct, it beats snow (and more importantly ice) any day!

If you’re talking golf… the best time to play is early morning which is the most popular time too. Late afternoon is less crowded and a bit cooler. Mid day is very hot/humid

The hottest time of day in FL is between 2 and 4 PM. You will have to wait until after 5 PM to get any cool down. This time of year there is still over 3 hours of daylight after 5 PM.

You don’t focus on when it is too “hot.” Just go out and do what you want to do. Many prefer to golf in the afternoon when it is the “hottest” time of the day.
You are in Florida.

7am to midnight. It’s not the heat it’s the humidity. We play pb at 7am every morning and your clothes are as wet as they get when washing them. We also play pb at 4pm multiple times a week and your clothes are just as wet but the temps are 20 degrees warmer. We golf after 6pm when the trade winds pick up a little and it seems a little cooler, but at these times, we might have to dodge thunderstorms.
You never get used to it, you just play thru it.

I find I have largely adapted to the heat. With that being said, it is still hot. In my opinion, the mornings are the worst, as it is usually very humid. The humidity comes down in the afternoon. The temperature comes up, but it feels better. I need a jacket now when it drops below about 78 degrees now! That is very weird for me, but it feels cool on the golf cart. We like to play golf after 6pm.

It’s never too hot to swim, which is my only outdoor physical activity here until I get my knee(s) replaced. Thank goodness for 112 pools and counting. I’m on a quest to try them all. 😬 We also enjoy riding in the golf cart pretty much anytime of day.

I grew up in Minneapolis and have lived in the Deep South half of my life and have played tennis, golf, softball, and pickle ball in the hot temperatures (up to 105*), and the key is to DRINK LOTS OF WATER.

It's important to check The Villages weather app daily to check on the temperature. Decide how to dress and what activities are do-able for you. Lots of hydration...water... is best. Most importantly...know your limits...age...physical condition. Be aware of your comfort zone.

Yes you are in FL but you do need to be mindful of the heat, heat strokes are nothing to play with.
I have a lot of people I know end up in the emergency room.

depends on a lot of factors. body weight, fitness, heat tolerance. just do yourself a favor, don't try to go the extra mile....if you feel like it's getting intolerable you've probably been out a bit too long.
Also as everyone says drink lots of water - here's a hint - purified water doesn't do anything for you except run through you because it lacks all the other minerals etc to 'stick'. When we were on the coast I used to line up 8 bottles a day, still dehydrated. Now it's 2 of Mountain Valley Spring water and I'm more than good.... and when I say 2, I am talking 12 ounce bottles

Walking the pitch and putts the past few days in the midday sun led to my reading the Noel Coward entry in Wikipedia yesterday. 😀

The mid to late afternoon is when it's the hottest. The hottest time of day here is typically between 2:00 - 4:00.

I find it very important to check the my radar app so you can play the dodge the thunder and lightning storm game.

I had a friend move here from Michigan and the first few times we played golf in the summer, he was done by the 14th hole, way overheated and feeling miserable. I told him the key is to drink water starting the night before to be well hydrated. He complained he'd be up all night peeing, but I suggested that was better than dying of heatstroke. He took my advice and now plays golf AND tennis in the heat without problems.

Add gator aid to that routine…gives you the extra you need when sweating take all your electrolytes out.
