Rating 62.5

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.

Odd design and short course layout

We were visiting in town and saw Yelp give this course a decent rating. The fairways and tee boxes are in decent condition. However, the greens are spotty and bumpy. Additionally, the course layout has two holes with trees in front of the greens. Very odd. This course is very short and several holes are crammed together.

Rough conditions

Charging $50 to walk. Only 9 holes open. And those 9 holes are in ROUGH condition. More dead grass than live. Muddy areas.

The layout is awesome for a little executive course. Trees blocking par 3’s. Hitting PW as drive on par 4. So fun.

But charging that kind of money to walk 9 holes twice, in those conditions is criminal.

First time played here.

Nice layout, just short course but very challenging where to put your first shot. Though, I enjoyed it. The staff are very nice and helpful.

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!

Pandemic get away

My wife and I needed a reprieve our from “stay at home” with a visit to South Lake Tahoe.. Our passion is golf so we played Tahoe Paradise.. Very challenging but we a ton of fun. Leave your driver at home. The course is very busy so I recommend playing early before 8am. Course conditions vary but generally very good considering how popular this course is. We met another lovely couple, who played with us and we had a wonderful time together also.
