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.

hit with cart fee

thought I had found a decent Hot Deals rate of 95 $ for my wife ad I. I was informed it was walking rate and there was another 20 $ EACH for an old gas cart.

Now the rate was 135 $ for this very short 18 holes. The employee at the desk was friendly and professional, but very frustrating, and cost was too high for this course. Front 9 was GREAT pace, but the course put a tournament out on the back 9 and so the pace slowed to a stop.

Don’t waste your money

If you like a cramped course, rednecks in tee shirts and tank tops, dogs riding in carts and pooping everywhere, loud music playing from other carts, then this course is for you. We paid $80 apiece to play a course I assumed would follow the basic golf etiquette, I was wrong. This is a Lake Tahoe area golf course, but that doesn’t mean anything here. If it was half the price we paid, it would still be too much. Go up the road a mile and play a well maintained course that follows the rules of golf etiquette and you will enjoy yourself way more.

Expensive for nothing

This course for the price is horrible (IF YOU BOOK THROUGH GOLF NOW). I spent 80 dollars between the app and the actual course because it doesn’t include cart rental even though the app says otherwise. Staff was not understanding of that fact unfortunately. I would never recommend anyone to play here greens were in bad condition, tee boxes equally as bad, course was muddy from over watering.

Very tight course. Short, but very challenging. Greens were slow in comparison. Not a straight put. Definitely an E ticket for 1st timers.

Excellent little course

Good greens, good pace of play. Easy to walk and affordable. Some tough shots in there due to tight tree line forcing accuracy over distance. Fun course, will go again!

Waste of money

First time in my life I quit a round of golf. Gave up after 4 holes (playing as a single on top of it) took almost 1.5 hours with no ending in site. It is actually absurd the amount they charge for short holes and the conditions.

Horrible Greens

The course is through the trees and kind of fun to play. It's not a very long course, so my wife enjoyed scoring better than she normally does. The greens were horrible. I don't know if they had some type of disease or what, but they were super bumpy and extremely slow. You never knew where your ball was going to go when you putted it.

Good for beginners/intermediate.

Wish the cart paths were a bit better maintained. Other than that the place was great for a casual group of 2-4
