In summary

Tahoe Paradise Golf Course is appreciated for its friendly staff, challenging layout, and scenic mountain views, offering a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. However, some visitors have noted concerns about the course's maintenance, particularly the condition of the greens, and have experienced slow pace of play due to large groups. The course's compact design and lack of certain amenities, such as a full driving range, are also mentioned as areas for improvement.

We played this course last July and it was in good shape and a fun course. This time the greens were in the worst shape I’ve ever seen and the fairways not kept up on at all. The worst part of the course was holes 5 and 9 where the greens were temporarily unavailable and there was a temporary green which they had took part of the fairway and spray painted a circle around it and put an oversized hole to putt into 😂. Definitely not coming back!

Absolutely loved it. The whole experience was super chill—no frills, no pressure, just good vibes all around. Whether you were a total pro or just showing up for the fun of it, everyone felt welcome. We all had such a great time and really appreciated how relaxed and easygoing everything was. Definitely the kind of place you want to come back to.

This popular course is busy, and on a Friday afternoon it’s full of large groups of beer guzzling guys out to have a good time. By large groups, I mean 5-7 guys playing together in one “foursome”. Translation: crazy slow pace of play. The 7 guys in front of us took 25 minutes to tee off of the first hole, and not one of them found the fairway. 🤣 The office told us that the ranger would manage play, but the ranger had little influence. As you can imagine play was at a snail’s pace. The 66 par course at 4,028 yards has tree-lined, narrow fairways in good shape and pretty views of the surroundi…

Very nice little golf course. There are some challenging holes. Had the best time with the family. Price is right and the Pro-Shop people are very friendly.

Is a great little executive course with some up and down fairways. Greens were soft even in August. No driving range except a net, and a decent putting green. Be ready to go. Staff was very friendly and accommodating.

This course is absolutely stunning, we loved the views and the customer service on the course was above and beyond! Gavin is the friendliest course manager we've ever met. The holes were challenging and the fairways were narrow but I like that in a course. So I give three stars because many of the holes are too close to each other. In fact on Hole 16, you will be driving across the 17th green, this hole should just be skipped. Also holes 3 and 13 are just crammed into tiny outlying patches of land and don't even seem to belong here, just added just so there could be 18 holes. More portable res…

Great Little Course! Most fairways are narrow but a lot of fun! The greens are mostly tilted, so putting is the hard part. The staff was very friendly and accommodating! I had a lot of fun, I played two times one day and once the next. Great place to work on my irons.

$100 that I wish I could get back. While there aren’t a ton of golf options on the Tahoe side during this busy weekend, our group decided to give this a try. We had two threesomes and the pace of play could’ve put us to sleep. Our groups asked if we could join after the first couple holes because of the slow pace and the Ranger (who was extremely rude and ornery) said no. However, there were multiple groups of five and six playing at the same time which we called out later on and he said because we had 4 carts that isn’t allowed. This place is a liability so wear a helmet. Greens are close to…

Great Par 66 through the trees. Some really challenging Par 3's and while you might be tempted to drive the green on some Par 4s, danger looms with the treelined fairways on some holes. Great for Juniors as well! Fun!

Awesome golf course. It’s short but extremely challenging greens. The entire staff was fantastic. Gavin runs the proshop and was easily the best I’ve ever seen. If I had to pick 1 place to play in Lake Tahoe, I would play here.
