Tahoe Paradise Golf Course

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!

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.

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.
