Situated within the woodlands of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Tahoe Paradise Golf Course has a hilly landscape covered with towering pines. This short, tight golf course is filled with challenges including tight, narrow fairways and smooth, fast greens. The fairways are also lined with trees and thick cuts of rough and some of there is an occasional sloped green. Tahoe Paradise Golf Course's par-4 holes are said to have severe dogleg fairways and water hazards come into play on two holes. The picturesque scenery provides a relaxing break from the challenges of the golf course. One of the most scenic holes is the par-3 14th with a spectacular view of Mt. Tallac and the surrounding peaks.

Great place to play in Tahoe!

This was my first time playing golf in Tahoe! The altitude definitely adds some distance to your clubs, so have your numbers dialed in and add some yards when you get there! Very friendly staff in the clubhouse! Pace of play was a little slow due to the shorter distances on the holes, but everyone around the course was very friendly and patient! Overall a very pleasant experience!

Short course but very challenging and beautiful

The yardages are deceiving. Lots of tight areas to shoot for between the trees. Pin placements were very challenging and so were the greens. Some false fronts and not many flat greens.

Be prepared to lose a few balls!

Buyer beware

Showed up for my “Tee Off.com” deal rate and hadn’t noticed the missing cart icon on line sign up. Was charged $40 for an obnoxiously loud, poor running exhaust reeking gas cart. This course is probably ok for walking but I think I’d go down the road a mile to the SLT GC for the same amount or within $5 for a decent round of golf.

I’m confused by your review. You’re upset because YOU misread the deal online?

I’ve done the same deal before and it’s $24-$38 for the walking rate deal around 11:30am. It’s $20/person to rent a cart at the course. So at most, you paid ~$60 for riding 18 holes. Which is less than the $80 they normally charge.

To play down the street at Lake Tahoe Golf Course is $105 for riding 18 holes…

Aside from the older gas carts, what are you complaining about?

Friendly little course

Course was shorte than most. The weather was very hot, but this course offered plenty of shade and light breezes. The 3.5 hour round was just right for this hot day.

A Nice Treat of a Golf Course

My wife and I enjoyed this short distance course. On a really hot weekday, this course offed shade, light breezes and nice scenery. Most players were couples or twosomes. A round took us 3.5 hours. It was a nice pace . Most.Par 4’s we’re 220 to 360 yards. Greens were challenging. When putting downhill, ball could roll of the green. Staff and other players were very friendly.. It was like playing on a family-friendly course. No one took themselves too seriously. For my wife, the holes were a good distance for her. For me, accuracy, not distance, was more important. We will surely be back next year during our annual visit to the area.

Had fun time. Course is pretty, greens not that great if shape. Because they charge $20 extra per person to use a cart the Golf now deal only saved a total of $10. They should include the cart on the deal.

Nice friendly golf course

The negatives —

Only portable pottys Drawback for women on the course.

Holes 9 and 1 also 10 and 17 could be problematic for golfing and carts driving either to the golf club or finishing up a round if not alert to oncoming golfing traffic.

Tight, Fun Course

Shorter course with tight lanes. Fun and challenging having to create shots down narrow fairways. Greens are fast! We played in the early AM with dew and wet greens. You really want to be below the hole. Staff was helpful and inviting. Absolutely look forward to playing here again!

Challenging Short Course

Even though the course is 4000 yds., there's a lot of skill involved to "shape" your shot on several holes. The par 3s were short, but very challenging because of the narrow opening to the green. A fun course to test your skills.
The pro shop staff was very friendly and helpful.
Surprised to see gas carts, which were a bit spendy to use at $20/person.

Nice executive course

Challenging due to narrow fairways.
Narrow fairways also make it easy to get hit by a ball like I did!
