3 fun courses Reasonably priced Half off for 4 y/o and free for under 3 Enjoyable way to spend 1-2 hrs read more

While staying in Lake Tahoe for a last minute trip, my husband and I decided to check out Magic Carpet Golf for some mini golf fun last Wednesday. We arrived a little before 12 pm and were greeted by an employee. For the golf course selection, there are 3 options to choose from (but one course was currently closed). We ended up choosing to do the castle course, which has 28 holes. I had cash in my purse so we paid for a smaller discount of $20 per person. If you pay credit card, it would have been $20.60 per person (I am assuming for the credit card fee?). We were given our clubs and 2 colored golf balls. And the employee who checked us in had told us that there is a hole where the mill is not working. The motor to power it is not working but that we can slowly pushing it towards where she is and it should work. The castle themed course is very cute and we really enjoyed seeing each hole, which some of them were really challenging. Some of the holes were also really well constructed and decorated, including the one with a ship and a giant goldfish. We golfed here for about an hour. And I am happy to say that I ended up with the smaller amount of strokes (just by a margin though). Although this course has 28 holes, you only golf with 27 holes. And then for the last one, you come back inside where you paid for your admission and put it in one of two machines. I placed my golf ball into what looks like a plinko style game (which reminds me of The Price Is Right show). But I don't know if I was supposed to try to win something or not or just to watch it make it's way down to one of three holes. And then my husband placed his ball in the other machine that looks like a slot machine. Overall, we had a great time and am glad we were able to make it out here. read more

Magic Carpet Golf - Cash price is slightly cheaper - Mini Golf Near Me - South Lake Tahoe, California

Overall great experience and price isn't too bad either! I'd reccomened if you're looking to kill some time and have fun!

They have 3 courses here and don't repeat any of the holes. Two 19 hole courses and one 28 hole course. The 19 hole courses are $15 and the 28 hole version is $20. The course is lit at night and I played one of the 19 hole courses. I found it to be in fairly good shape with the carpet being flat without wrinkles. Each hole also has concrete side walls instead of wooden ones. Also this facility caters to the kids with its hole designs. I enjoyed my time here and recommend it for anyone looking for something fun to do while in the area. read more

Perfect for younger kids- a lot of effort put into making larger than life props. 3 courses to choose from.

Cute course with playful themes. We did the dinosaur course as our child loves dinosaurs. We gave him a tiny plastic golf club whuch he promptly kept forgetting as he tried to chade and steal our balls. They kept trying to clean up the pine needles, but they shed like crazy over the course. I almost got a hole in one but the needles were like, "not today!" So that was a bummer. They also have a small arcade inside. read more

So nostalgic for me. Used to come here as a kid with my family during Tahoe trips, now I got to bring my own kids here for the first time. Still a bit old but I still love it! Fun times! I loved seeing so many families of various sizes and ages playing today. Would def come back! read more

30+ years family tradition, same course. Many memories made here and many more to come. Always a fun time read more

Magic Carpet Golf - Rainbow - Mini Golf Near Me - South Lake Tahoe, California

The kids decided they wanted to do something beside sitting on the beach all day, so we came up with this plan to go play golf. Yesterday their dad and i played golf on the big golf course, so today we decided to take the girls to one of my favorite places. I used to play here years ago, and rememberrd how much fun i had. So we took the girls to play golf. We all had a good time. The place is kept very clean. The price is right, and the way it is set up was very nice. We all had a really good time. read more

It looks old but most things are in Tahoe. Came here with a party of 10. We chose the 28 holes. Initially, it seemed daunting. I thought it would take us HOURS to complete. Once we got our ball and putter we were on our way. Mind you, there were a few groups ahead of us but everyone was respectful and courteous. Each hole had its obstacles which piqued our curiosity. Overall, it was a ton of fun! Great spot to hang with the family. The last walk-in is at 9 pm. read more

Grandson enjoyed it a lot Great people and a good value not a lot of places to take little kids in Tahoe read more

4.5 stars! This place was super fun! There were three different course options which all had fun themes! We did the storybook theme and it was a blast. The downfall was the price, it was about $16 per person & the bathroom was quite dirty. Otherwise it was a great time! read more

The times here (Yelp) say they close at 10 (on Sunday), but it was actually 9:00. There is no website, but both Yelp and Google maps said a 10 pm close. The link from Google maps led to a general Tahoe activities site which said the same thing!. I originally put 2 stars, but after checking other reviews, and realizing this has been a problem for far too long, I'm changing it to 1 star. This problem could be easily remedied! Disappointing! read more

The staff were young and enthusiastic and super helpful. They did a great job at spreading out groups. The courses are fun and the perfect length. Can't go wrong! read more

What a fun and whimsical place to play mini golf. No pressure and completely fills in the nostalgic vibes for me. I always make it a must to come here when I'm in South Lake Tahoe. It's fun for dates and to play with family or friends. Give yourself about 45 minutes per each set of 18 (there's a story land route and a dinosaur route). You can play both, too. read more

We had a blast here! They actually have three separate course and you can choose to play one, two, or all three. It is all outdoors and easy to keep socially distant. We felt safe the whole time. It is a bit dated but still fun! read more

Great small little business love the area and love the courses must recommend this place.

Fun place with 3 different courses to choose from. Fun for all ages and the lady working was very nice and helpful.

Very fun family friendly mini golf . We did the Dinosaur course (there are 3 to choose from). The greens were well maintained and the holes were creative and fun. Would recommend. It was $15 for 18 holes and $20 for the 28 hole course. read more

Is it kind of expensive? Yes. Is it pretty much falling apart? Yes. Did I have a stupid amount of fun? Also yes. I love that there are three courses and you have the option to play through all three (or two, or just one). And they all have different themes. We did the storybook course and the characters were all satisfyingly creepy. It makes for very entertaining instagram pics. The only thing that would set this over the top is if they had a liquor license or let players bring six packs -- then all my kitschy mini golf dreams would come true. read more

This was one of the best mini golf courses I've ever played! We did the 28 (or was it 29?) hole course, and loved every one! The decorations are so funny and the holes are all challenging, unique, and fun! Highly recommend! read more

So much fun ! We went twice this vacation trip ! The staff were so warm and friendly . A big hit with the entire family ! Make sure you call and check the hours and the last check in time . I recommend the full castle course 28 holes. We were able to bring our own picnic lunch and sit at the tables outside. It would be great if they added a coffee& juice Bar outside or an ice cream: yogurt station and got rid of some of their antiquated decor and the rocket ride that didn't work . A few of the holes need updating and revamping so one star less for that. Bathrooms were nice and clean . We had fun playing air hockey after mini golf. read more

Magic carpet golf is so fun! It's located across from the lake. There are a few courses to choose from including one that is 26 holes! There is also an arcade inside. The holes are generally pretty small compared to larger mini golf operations in California but it definitely feels like a local past time each time we go. I brought my children there the first time this summer and they loved it. It can get hot and there is not much shade- bring a hat/water/sunscreen! read more

We're two middle-aged fogies that like to do mini-golf whenever we travel. Here's our review of Magic Carpet Golf in South Lake Tahoe. It's located centrally near shops, restaurants and hotels. We paid for 28 holes, ($15 each, Sept '22) but it's really 27 as the last one goes in a 'one armed bandit'. Fun golf hole features, but a little bit homemade/amature looking! Polite staff. Small free parking lot. We got one hole-in-one! Yippeeee! read more

My friend and I had a lot of fun. Staff were friendly. We picked the story book course and it was a lot of fun. The only problem we had was our balls kept getting stuck in some of the obstacles, in hard to reach places. read more

We come here probably once a year as my kids enjoy this mini golf place. I highly recommend the 28 hole course over the two 19 hole courses but all are good. There are many moving obstacles to make the courses interesting. The heavy winters must be brutal on the outdoor golf course but they do a really good job of maintaining the quality courses and the prices are reasonable. We highly recommend Magic Carpet Golf! read more

Really fun place to go to! We got there right when they opened (10:00am) and there was no other players there! The lady at the counter was very friendly and helped us get our golf clubs and balls. We played the castle course, which was 28 holes long. Technically, it is 27, since all the courses end with a slot machine that could give you a free game, but for some reason they call it a hole. The holes themselves are in pretty good conditions,. Occasionally, you'll get a ball stuck in one of the props, but no major problems. It took us about an hour to finish, but we never had anyone in front of us. Overall, this is a great place to come to have some fun with friends or family! :) read more

Fun! On our first visit we played the longer castle course. My kids loved it so much that we came back the next day to do the dinosaur course and play in the arcade inside as well. Everything's outdated and overpriced but it's a good addition to a family vacation. We went in the afternoon and it wasn't very busy at all but noticed it always seemed busier when we drove by at night. They have misters for the hot days and a few picnic tables out front. read more

It's a quirky yet run down course that provides about an hour of entertainment. The prices are steep considering that many holes are in need of repair so I can take it or leave it for future visits. read more

It has 3 different courses, clean and up kept well. A fun activity for all ages. Plenty of shade to keep you out of the sun on the main strip, south shore Blvd read more

Five stars for fun. Miniature golf is a great way to spend an hour or so. A trip to Tahoe isn't complete without a game of miniature golf. This is a classic old course. The features are showing their age but it is fun to launch your golf ball through a volcano, avoid a monkey'a tail and putt through the legs of a brontosaurus. They have slopes close to the holes so you have to putt just right. There are 3 courses. 2 are 18 holes and the 3rd is 28. I think it is best to go after dinner when it is lighted up. read more

Golf courses are separated by different entrances. They are kind of Jammed together, but definitely fun for the Whole Family.

First thing as we arrived we were warmly greeted by the owner. A good sign in my book. This putt putt golf is old school which my wife snd I love. Each hole had a different name and theme. See pics. The area was kept very clean. Challenging but not tough. Also very well shaded. read more

This place is amazing. Truly one of a kind, my favorite mini golf place I've ever been. Clearly it was made with love. 3 completely different courses, all well maintained. Very fun place. Highly recommended read more

Decent mini golf place. Much better than the one by the movie theater and cheaper too. Cute themes and choice of three different courses. Get a discount the more holes you play. Something fun for the family when you're not in the water but much in need of repair and updating. FUN: Semi-challenging course which is good. You don't want it too hard for the kids. They have some tunnels and moving elements so that was fun. Many of the holes need repair on the concrete and the turf which is often uneven (and not on purpose as you expect). Lots of ants and a bee. I would definitely spray for ants. SERVICE: Awesome. The staff is super friendly and nice. Very helpful people. COST: Very reasonable. $9 for 18 holes is great. However we only gave it a three because of the disrepair. I would pay more for a well kept course free of bugs (relatively-it is outdoors after all). read more

So fun for kids, adults and grandparents. Long courses with varying difficulty on each hold keeps everyone happy. Love the vintage looking decorations. The pirate ship and chicken coop ones were our favorite. read more
