Tahoe Paradise Golf Course - South Lake Tahoe, California

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 surrounding mountains. Divots aren’t repaired by golfers, so the greens can be a bit bumpy. You’ll be able to warm-up your putts on a putting and chipping green. Several hitting nets were available to warm-up with your drivers and irons. No cart service is available once you start your round, but water & other beverages may be purchased at the turn.

While we enjoyed playing our round, the course amenities and overall experience weren’t sufficient to bring us back.

We drove from Carson Valley to beat the heat and had a BLAST ! Gavin is absolutely lovely - made our experience even better ! AND we saw two juvenile bears cross the course 😳😳 It was a great day ! Tobey & Ron

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 restrooms on the course would be appreciated as well.

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.

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.

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.

For the price, saying that this course is terrible, is an understatement. My wife and I have golfed in many places. Just early in the week at the Lake Tahoe Golf course. Paid the same amount for both courses and this was mediocre at best. Owner was very arrogant and seemed like he tried to do everything he can to make sure we don’t play at this course. I own a company and having pride in ownership is so important, but having arrogance in ownership is so terrible for your business. At the end of the night as we were leaving, the owner blatantly looked at us and didn’t say a word, no, “thank you, did you have a good time, etc” Anyway, I would just go someplace else where it will be a nicer course, friendlier, and more welcoming to their customers.

Sincerely,
The guy you literally ID’d to drive a golf cart

Awesome place to enjoy wintertime with kids having fun on the snow and tubing play
