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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I would definitely come back!

Everyone at the pro shop was extremely friendly. The fairway conditions were better than most Tahoe courses. Just make sure to play conservatively because the courses are very narrow!

Pathetic course and staff

Ridiculous amount of money —ripoff basically to play a par 3 course. The staff inside was horribly rude, inconsiderate and should be employed elsewhere where they do not have to communicate with human beings or animals!!! Not only to you pay an absurd amount to play this delapidated course, you then are asked to pay $18 a person per cart($36) just to ride in a cart in addition to the amount to play!! The guy at the counter yet with a beard is despicable and the so called manager Dawn simply needs to find work elsewhere if there’s any hope for this poor course to succeed!! Do not waste your money here!!!

Worst customer service ever not worth the money

We booked this course on golf now to try out a new course, the staff especially John was completely rude and disrespectful. We will never play there again or recommend it to anyone else. Thank goodness we booked through golf now with a cheaper rate, not worth the money.
