Hotels near Rick's Revenge Disc Golf Course

Check-In & Warm-Up

Plan to arrive at least 30-45 minutes before your first tee time to allow ample time for parking and preparation. Familiarize yourself with the course map and any scorekeeping apps or physical scorecards you plan to use. The immediate area around the first tee box often serves as a natural warm-up zone, but be mindful of other players starting their rounds. If you're arriving with a group, designate a meeting point near the main entrance or parking area. Double-check your bag for essential items like water, snacks, extra discs, and any personal comfort items.

Mid-Day Regroup

Around the turn, or between rounds if playing multiple games, find a shaded spot or designated picnic area to rest and refuel. This is an excellent opportunity to discuss strategies, check scores, and hydrate. If the weather is warm, seek out shaded areas or consider taking a short break at a nearby café if available, though options are limited directly at the course. Most players tend to play through without extended breaks during casual rounds, but if your group needs it, coordinate a brief regroup.

Wrap-Up & Departure

After your final putt, take a moment to gather your belongings and conduct a thorough sweep of your playing area for any dropped items or trash. Allow a few extra minutes for the parking lot as others finish their rounds. Consider a post-game debrief with your group at a nearby picnic table or a casual restaurant in Bear Valley to review your performance and enjoy some local flavors. Always ensure you leave the course area as clean or cleaner than you found it.

Winter

Expect cold temperatures, with daytime highs often in the 30s and 40s Fahrenheit, and freezing temperatures overnight. Snow is common, which can make the course temporarily unplayable. Dress in multiple warm layers, including waterproof and windproof outer gear. Waterproof boots and gloves are essential. Rounds may be shorter due to limited daylight and cold, so plan accordingly.

Spring & early summer

Temperatures begin to warm into the 50s and 60s Fahrenheit, with increasing sunshine. Occasional spring showers are possible, so pack a light waterproof jacket. The landscape is green and vibrant. Layers are still recommended, especially for early mornings and evenings, as mountain weather can be unpredictable.

Mid-summer

Days are typically warm to hot, with highs often in the 70s and 80s Fahrenheit. The sun is strong, and hydration is key. Lightweight, breathable clothing is best. However, evenings can still cool down considerably, so a light jacket or sweater is advisable. Sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses are a must.

Fall season

Temperatures become cooler, ranging from the 40s to 60s Fahrenheit, with crisp air and stunning fall colors. Mornings can be chilly, requiring warmer layers, while afternoons may still be pleasant. Waterproof gear is a good idea as rain chances increase. Daylight hours shorten, so plan your rounds accordingly.

Rain & snow

Rain is possible year-round, though more frequent in spring and fall. Snowfall is characteristic of winter months. During wet or snowy conditions, expect muddy fairways and potentially slick surfaces. Proper footwear with good traction is crucial. If snow is heavy, the course may be closed. Check local conditions before heading out.
