Kings Beach Miniature Golf

Super fun for all ages. Nice variety of activities. Love the old school feel, and reasonable prices. Great location and staff. Appreciate the rewards cards for free play.

We stopped in and had a blast at this mini golf course. This isn’t just any mini golf course– this one has history and is a barrel of fun for the whole family. Make a visit to this course a part of your family’s history. They also offer parties for groups. Adrian at the desk was great!

This is what I like. It’s a tiny place with a ton of character. Much more suited for a town like Kings Beach. Pay attention to the course, there are little signs for extreme golf options and they’re fun! It’s $ 7 a person for one course, and you can play the second for $ 4.50. It’s across the street from Log Cabin, so ice cream is RIGHT THERE. Party lights and other fun stuff at night. We loved it.

10 year old niece visiting from NJ for 2 weeks. Trying to find things to entertain her can be daunting — almost too many choices! But no one ever turns down a chance to spend a lovely cool summer morning playing mini-​golf! For one game, it was $ 7 a person. The course was hilarious — some took us 47 attempts to get the balls in before we finally gave up and cheated, others were a hole in one and excuse us as we whooped it up and hollered and pretended we were Tiger Woods. Great friendly staff.

Great family fun & great vibes! We played both courses and had a blast.
Spoiler Alert: watch out for the last hole on one of the courses-​the ball may pop out if you get a hole in one (followed by suspicious laughter from the person in the hut running the place).

this place is is older and there are some rough edges here and there but you can tell its probably all very original. great atmosphere among the tall trees. not too busy,
the staff was a little preoccupied with his phone but what teenager isnt. my son is 6 and had a great time he loved the funny obstacles. the weather is so nice that most anything done outside is so enjoyable. i would much rather spend a few hours playing than see him sitting on the computer or hand held device.

This is one of the best mini golf courses I’ve played! The holes are creative but not overly crazy, and some are downright hard! Kings Beach Miniature Golf has two full 18-​hole courses as well, adding to the fun that can be had here! A great place for some family fun in North Tahoe.

Great place for an hour of family fun. We even won a free game on the 19^th hole. I come here with my family and friends every summer during our timeshare in north shore

What you want mini golf on vacation to be like. Fun for kids and adults alike. Fairly busy, but still moved at a good pace. Interesting mix of music playing.

Love this place! Great for kids and adults. I saw small kids golfing as well as a father and his sons (60 and 40’s) golfing. Old school mini golf, mature trees, decorated golf balls, and the smell of Tahoe. I highly recommend a visit when you are in the area.

We have been going here for years, it is the best mini golf place in the world. All the holes are lovingly hand made and so cute. The best hole is the gigantic slot machine. When your ball goes in, the wheel spins and you can get a hole in one!
This is a family owned operation conveniently located across the street from the Log Cabin, so you can have breakfast and then play or come for an ice cream and then play… or vice versa!
PS One of the owner’s kids is the great-​niece of Shemp Howard of The Three Stooges Fame. Kinda cool to know.

Last night my family and I visited Kings Beach Miniature Golf. What a cute place! We had such a great time. The guy working there was so nice and the course was adorable. It was really cool because each player gets to pick which color/​design golf ball they wish to play with. There were so many different designs to choose from! We will definitely be back and I recommend this mini golf course to anyone looking for a fun activity in Kings Beach!
Prices:
$ 7.00 per player for one round
$ 10.00 per player for two rounds

What a great place to have some easy fun with your friends and family.
We went here for a round of mini golf and ended up playing another round at the 2^nd course.
If you’re able to play hole 19 you get a free play which is really nice.
There is a huge parking lot right next to it and it’s also just across the street from the beach and pretty decent restaurants.
We will come back for sure next time we visit!

i was disappointed when i saw how «old» it was… but pleasantly surprised once i played the course and saw the signs explaing when they were installed. i loved the fact that they have kept many original fixtures for each hole.
great fun, cute and challenging!!!

This place has a lot of charm. The course was fun, and it was nice to be in the shade. I would definitely take my family there again.

My son’s first mini-​golf game was a hit!
The staff was very friendly — he was funny and pretty cool with my son. It’s $ 6.50 a game per player (cheaper and better than the one in Carnelian Bay) and only $ 2 more if you pay for both courses upfront (otherwise, $ 4 more if you decide to play another round after playing the first). But remember — CASH only! There’s an ATM in a liquor store one block away.
There are two challenging 18-​hole courses, each with a bonus hole for a potential free game. We finished each course in about 45 minutes, but be sure to get there early (it opens at 10am) or else it will start to pile up especially if there’s a large group ahead of you.

I love this place. The courses are difficult but a lot of fun for the whole family. The staff is very friendly. The best thing is the price. Consider paying for the extra 18 holes when you go… It’s only an extra $ 2!

This is a great miniature golf course!
The address is messed up, and I’m not sure why. The map for this place when you look up the address shows you going away from the Lake, but ignore that — it is on Lake Blvd, so if you are going around Lake Tahoe, you’re on the right street.
Besides a little misstep in getting here, since the GPS was telling us to turn onto streets that didn’t exist to get to this address, this place was really great! $ 6.50 per person for 18 holes. There are two different courses to choose from, and we ended up doing both courses. The holes are different, challenging, and fun. A great way to spend an afternoon off.
Oh yeah — CASH ONLY.

I love going here on boring summer nights.
Been going here since I was a kid, never gets old. Just 5 minutes from my house. As a real golfer, this brings a whole new aspect to the game. There are 2 courses here. Some of the holes are really challenging, which is really fun. After you finish any of the 2 courses, you are greeted by a putting challenge. If you make it, you get a free game. They put a wire mesh over the hole, so it’s impossible to cheat. I have only once gotten a free game. And once my sisters friend did a full swing and on the backswing, hit me right in the face. An amazing place that you should be sure not to pass up.

What a sweet little place.
The two courses were built by hand almost fifty years ago by a former merchant marine who was at once thrifty and incredibly creative. He operated it for the next forty years before selling it to Chris, the new owner, who wanders the grounds with a giant rescue-​laborador named Buddy, arranging the padding, cleaning things, picking up pine needles.
The obstacles are brilliant — a rubik’s cube for example, a skeetball chute made out of rubber mats, a slot machine that spins when you hit the ball through the hole. Most are on a gaming /​local sports theme but there’s the requisite windmill, totem pole, and wooden bear. And some very clever funny ones like dancing hula girls. Some are so fun you want to do them again and again, such as a luge-​like bank shot.
I kept honest score because it’s really pathetic if you cheat playing miniature golf by yourself.. . «That’s like reading the answers on a crossword puzzle,» Chris suggested. After a miraculous hole in one on the first hole I nose-​dived to a ten over par 55 on the first course, then a more respectable 5-​over 50 on the second.
There is much randomness to miniature golf but it plays very fair here. Not once did I get frustrated or feel I was cheated out of anything. Holes are smooth, fun, and entertaining, and it’s all in top condition compared to other courses of its era and style, most of which are sadly either gone or in disrepair. That’s not to say perfect. There’s some wear and unevenness, so the ball does meander around a bit.
You can rent out sections for parties and events. It’s open in the warm months only; in the winter the course is under many feet of snow and things are safely in storage.
I haven’t comparison shopped for miniature golf lately, in fact I don’t think I’ve ever played: (1) alone, (2) as an adult, or (3) after drinking. But given all the above it’s an incredible value. $ 7 for two games. I’ve run the math in my head, and considering how much the land would be worth as a condo development it’s a miracle the place is still here after fifty years. The world does not need more time share condos so please support the miracle and play miniature golf next time you’re in Lake Tahoe.
There’s no alcohol or junk food sold here but there are some snacks and a soda machine. If you’re nice and not rowdy I doubt Chris would mind your bringing a beer, and Buddy looks like he could use some.
The 120+ foot pine trees provide lots of shade and the lake view is stunning. There’s no way you can leave here unhappy, if you do you’re just a grinch.
