Tahoe Paradise Golf Course
About
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 day with coworkers
Very tight tree line challenging ended with a HOLE IN ONE#16
Fun little course
Very tight tree lined fairways. Target golf. Great for iron practice. Only use your driver on 1 maybe 2 holes. Greens were difficult
Unable to play due to credit card machine inop
We’ve played here many times in the past but this was going to be our first under new management. We booked the Tee Time 4 days in advance and was excited to play at Paradise for the first time this season! Unfortunately when we arrived we were informed the credit card machine was inop and they were accepting cash only. We only had credit cards and Apple Pay but neither were accepted so we were forced to cancel and head back home. We could have left our credit card number, a copy of our drivers license, Zelle the money to the manager, or any other alternative but we’re not given any choices. During this time of COVID I would not expect an establishment to ask for people to pay with cash (not an option for us since credit cards is all we had). We are local Tahoe residents and we’re disappointed with this experience to say the least.
Super fun short 18 hole course!
Beautiful weather paired with a good day of golf. Staff was awesome and the course played very nice. Recommend this course to newbies learning to play.
Excellent challenging course...
Great technical and challenging course that has a little of everything including great views... it's my favorite course in Tahoe.
EXTREMELY OVERPRICED
This is a fun and short par 66. It has challenging shots and is mostly to work on your irons. Not a single par 5.. the rates they ask for are absolutely absurd for this course. Every HOT deal they have is never worth it because they’re stingy and want to get you to pay extra for a cart. I tell my friends to stay away from here because it’s not worth the time and money.
Hello and thanks for the review. We see you rated the course 1 star. We take single star feedback very seriously at our course, and we always appreciate the feedback. Please reach out to our team in the golf shop. Thank you for playing Tahoe Paradise Golf Course.
Great course, friendly staff and we even saw some bears... will play again for certain!!
Deceptively challenging little course - walk, don’t ride!
I am a beginning golfer so I was eager to check out this executive course - wow was I in for a surprise - even though it is all par 3s and 4s, it was deceptively challenging and super fun with narrow fairways, tiny sloped greens, and even a few fun water shots. The one thing I will say is that this is definitely a course to WALK, not ride. Even though they offer golf carts, the holes are so short that you will spend more time walking to and from your cart than you would just walking and playing the course. I played by myself on a weekday, the pace of play was great (just one fast moving single ahead of me) and you can’t beat the price, especially if you can get one of the hot deals for walking the course. I’ll definitely be back!
Really fun
Don’t let the yardage fool you. This is a gem. Greens are hard to read so try and hook up with a local or play 36.
You get what you pay for ...
Got a very good Deal price for 18 walking, so took the wife up to Tahoe, knowing Tahoe Paradise wasn’t the best course around, but wanted to enjoy the nice weather and get a little practice and exercise in. The best points were the friendly guy who checked us in, the fairways were in pretty good shape, and the weather is always great in Tahoe in the summer. The not-so-great major issue far and away was the excruciating slow pace of play. Understanding the variety in skill levels of the many players on the busy course, we were still surprised to see things like two guys playing out of one bag of clubs, girlfriends tagging along and hitting the random shot, and older dudes fishing for balls out of a pond while 2 groups waited on them . We did see a “ranger” driving around at one point, but it made absolutely no difference in the pace of play. So understand what you’re getting into before going here and you hopefully will have an OK day. (But it’ll be awhile before I go back.)
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!
Worst course in Tahoe
Right up there with the worst I have played. Looks like a crappy ski run during the winter.

Unfair Greens and terrible cart paths
Simply put, the Greens are ridiculous. They are all sloped so that the ball, even hit properly, runs away from the hole. They do not lead to an enjoyable round.
Most of the cart paths are dirt, rock, and mud.

Nice short course
I love this course because I do not hit the ball far. The course requires accurate shots and they have very good challenging greens. Great deal using the Hot Deal. I play this course when I go to Tahoe.
Deceptively tough executive
First, I played twice using coupons but I still felt that the course was overpriced for a short course. Driving range is nets to drive into. There’s a restaurant, but no one seems to be working there, so I feel you can’t count on good food service.
People were friendly. Course is harder than it looks due to all the elevation changes and some narrow fairway patches. Greens are fast- I don’t if is was my poor putting at times, but it was very hard to hit anything close. Greens seemed too hard to hold shots, so with the tilts and hills, balls tended to roll off a bit. I would go back again in an attempt to tame this beast, so overall I liked it. Played twice and both rounds took 4 hours to complete, with minimal waiting for other groups.
Nice for quick game
A bit slow play but challenging and narrow and fun just the same.
Hello. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give Tahoe Paradise Golf Course another try in the near future.
My Grandnephew 7 yrs old 1st Round
I had a group of 5 including my 7 year old grandnephew. The staff was welcoming and allowed us to tee off as a five-som. This was little Sam's 1st round of golf and he is now hooked. We gave him a handicap of 62 the difference between our ages not that it mattered and by the par 4 18th hole he reached the green in a legit five. I always knew you could choose to either walk or ride, but little Sam did neither he RAN between strokes & holes all the way! So much fun. As other golf groups stacked up behind us we let them play through. Every one of them were supportive, kind & understanding. Friendly people play this course.
