I'd be glad to show you around. Ive played every course on your list except fernley(must be new) multiple times. I live 5 mins from the Truckee courses. In my opinion you should skip Dayton and play Turtle Rock. Dayton is decent but T Rock is a newer almost championship style course. It's top 3 in Tahoe with ZERO crowds. I could let you know the best places to camp/hotel. If you need any info on anything let me know. The new course in Incline is a million times better than the Ranch now that I checked your list again. In Tahoe you could do 1 day Sierra College, Truckee Regional, north Tahoe, and Incline way easy in one day. All are within 20-30 mins of eachother some 5-10 mins even. The next day Zephyr, Bijou, Turtle Rock is way doable. Then you'd be close to Reno to sleep there for the next day.
The adventure course takes for ever to play and it's kinda out there. It takes 2-5 hours to play each 18. I play at a faster than average pace. Make sure and contact Tom for that one. We donate $10 minimum when we play there. It can get crazy windy and you playing on cliff sides so early morning is best. Then play the Ranch and Fernley. I'll have to check out Fernley I guess. Im on my phone so sorry if there's ramblin. Once again feel free to ask me anything.

Sorry it wont let me do paragraphs for some reason from the phone.

I've only played Bijou and Zephyr. Bijou is pretty flat 27 holes, nice course. Zephyr is 18 with maybe 2 flat holes. Lots of ups and downs, a real hiking course. At its peak you have a great view of Lake Tahoe and the mountains. Great course. Bijou is much more populated than Zephyr. I would play Bijou first, you will be warmed up for Zephyr. Thats all I know about that area.

Turtle is 45 from Bijou. It make sense to do zephyr 1st. Then start on hole 10 at Bijou.

Zephyr, North Tahoe, Turtle Rock are the top 3 no particular order. I think most players would agree. Although Sierra College is baddass but tough. I'd say these 4 are a must play. Squaw will more tjan likely not be ready by then. They need to replace damaged baskets anyway to make it back in my top3-4 of the area.

Just make sure you've got a guide for Truckee. No way I could have played it without one.

Also, please take me with you.

why does it take so long to play the adventure courses in Nevada?

What are the best hotels to get a nice room, close to all the attractions in Tahoe. The wife would like to go and do her own thing during the day and have us meet up at night.

are any courses closed during the week or anything I should know about?

Awesome or unique places to eat in tahoe and Reno?

Once again you have quite an adventure planned. If you stay in south lake you nee to eat at womack's BBQ and get the sweet potato pie. You are going to be very tired after a couple of those days. If I'm up there that weekend I'll let you know.

Lake Tahoe Pizza in South Lake is awesome. Go to Hash House a Go Go at Harrahs in Reno for breakfast. It will probably be the only meal you will need that day.

Toneys is a great course, but it takes forever to get in and out of there, playing it usually takes a while too. I recommend you have a vehicle with good clearance, it's been years since I was out there, but the road was a little sketchy.

You really need to add Turtle Rock to your schedule. Also, Kirkwood might be open by then, due to the lack of snow this season. Don't miss it!

 

[TempleOfDoom]

If Kirkwood is open, you should adjust your schedule to hit all the South Lake courses one day:
Kirkwood
Turtle Rock
Bijou
Zephyr
And hit all the North Lake courses on another day:
North Tahoe Lions Club
North Tahoe Regional Park
Truckee River Regional Park
Sierra College

I would also suggest adding Turtle Rock to you list. Me and a couple of buddies did a similar trip and Turtle Rock was one of my favorites.
One of my favorite place to eat is Freshies in South Lake, if it is nice out you can even dine on the roof.

Womack's BBQ is good but crazy expensive for what you get. My favorite place to eat/drink in SLT is The Brewery. Good food and good beer.

The only Tahoe area course I've played is Zephyr and it was badass. Great elevation, great views.:thmbup:

You will spend alot of time trying to find baskets, find tees, and find your discs. They are very rough to play, and the map was not very helpfull in black and white. If you could find a guide for these ones it would be very helpfull, as well as using a spotter on many of the holes.

I agree with eating at The Brewery I stop there almost every summer.

If Kirkwood is open then I will try and play:

Kirkwood
Turtle Rock
Zephyr
Bijou

all in one day? Is this possible with 2-3 guys around mid June with like 14 hours of daylight and all good players? Let me know. What about Ricks Revenge? Hows that course. What are the nice Hotels in South Lake Tahoe where I can get a room for the wife and I. I need a hotel where thats close to all the stuff south lake has to offer to keep the wife busy and happy threw the day.

 

[jimbosprint]

Ricks Revenge is a good course if you happen to be on Highway 4, but not worth driving many hours out of your way. The highway is closed to through traffic at Mt Reba most of the year due to snow.

Knowing you I'd say that those four can be accomplished. I'm still waiting to find out if Kirkwood is even going to be open this year due to the new owners. As for a good hotel in South Lake, any of the casino hotels will put you right in the middle of the action (but might put a hole in your pocket).

I was at Mollie Joyce on Saturday and they are using some of Kirkwood's baskets. Not sure when they're going to give them back. The Kirkwood website is still advertising disc golf for the Summer, for what it's worth.

The DiscWood disc golf course will be returning soon for summer 2012! - just copied this from Kirkwood's wesite.
