How long do you leave new golf clubs in the bag?
If they are being replaced the traditional way with tape and solvent, you should wait at least 3 hours. Keeping the clubs out of the bag and in the air & sunlight will expedite the drying process. I've used clubs within an hour after new grips with no ill effect. Overnight is overkill.
How often should you replace your golf clubs?
They should last you at least 18 months. Replace your grips at least every 12 months if you are playing four or more times a week in temperate climate. Your clubs should last you five or more years, but to get the most out of them, you should change that grips yearly.

What does "before you start logging regular rounds" mean?
Before you start logging regular rounds, take a quick look at your grips. That means every single one of them, including the putter.
Step 1
Change your grips every 18 months if you play golf two or three times a week and you live in a temperate climate that does not allow year-round golf. You are not overusing your clubs and you are not wearing down your grips. They should last you at least 18 months.
Step 2
Replace your grips at least every 12 months if you are playing four or more times a week in temperate climate. Your clubs should last you five or more years, but to get the most out of them, you should change that grips yearly.
Step 3
Change your grips every nine months if you are playing three times a week or less in an extremely warm or humid climate.
Step 4
Replace your grips every six months if you are playing four times a week or more in high heat and humidity.
Step 5
Change your grips every two years regardless of the conditions if you don't play more than twice a week. The rubber will lose its elasticity and the leather will lose its moisture. You want a club that responds to your grip so don't hesitate to change them if two calendar years have gone by since the last time you replaced them.
I lost my golfing buddy yesterday
Yesterday at 5:50PM I texted my friend and asked him if he wanted to golf with me on Friday. At 5:55PM he replied that he couldn't make it. Ten minutes later he passed away suddenly and unexpectedly from a heart attack in his backyard. He was 55, in great shape, and leaves behind a great wife and three children.
Introduced my kid to golf. Never taking him again
My wife and I are only a few years into learning golf. This morning we invited our oldest son out for a round at a 9 hole par 3 pitch-n-putt kinda course. We finish up the nine and the kid says, "let's do it again". Not wanting to squelch the enthusiasm we kick off another round.

So I am a novice but do regrip my own clubs. I usually am very generous with the solvent so my question is- after re-gripping a steel shafted iron how long should I wait to play? I am up in the Northeast and looking at around 90 degrees and humid this week. I am looking to play tomorrow afternoon and wanted to do a few clubs today. Thanks.

Sony Open Pics from January 11, 2022 Part 1
I was able to get out to the Sony Open today to take a few pics. I guess due to Covid precautions they kept the spectators pretty far from the players. Also due to camera...

Just for kicks, I regripped a wedge tonight. Really poured the solvent to it (Golfsmith brand solvent & tape) and it dried completely in less than 30 minutes. FWIW .......
Feedback
30 minutes minimum,but I usually wait until the next day until I hit balls.
Feedback
I just regripped a putter with a SS 3.0 and it is taking for-flipping-ever for it to dry. Usually within a hour or so it is set, but this one was sitting for well over 6 hours and still spins free. May have to pull it and try again.

Go get some paint thinner, naphtha or mineral spirits and just use a small amount. Work fast or you won't get it all the way on.
Feedback
The key to solvent is to use as little as necessary to get the grip on. By minimizing solvent use, you also minimize the dry / set time.
Feedback
As can be deduced by the previous posts, drying time largely depends on the solvent used. (Of course, this discussion is moot for the OP since the time, and playing opportunity, has passed...two and a half years ago.) Odorless mineral spirits is the absolute worst in my experience.
