Exploring the Experience: What You Can Expect
This tour kicks off at 4087 Lake Tahoe Blvd, South Lake Tahoe, where you’ll meet your host from Tipsy Putt Mini Golf. The main attraction? The underground neon mini golf course. Brightly lit with vibrant colors and designed with age-friendly obstacles, it’s both challenging enough to entertain and visually striking enough to make for fantastic photos.
What makes this mini golf course stand out is not just its underground location but also its lighting and design. We loved the way the neon lights add an energetic vibe, creating a fun atmosphere regardless of the weather outside. It’s ideal for those cold Tahoe days when outdoor activities might be less appealing, as one reviewer noted, “The 2 different types of golf was a fun activity to do on a cold day.”
The exclusive 1-2 Putt game is a real highlight. Found only at Tipsy Putt, it’s a clever mix of mini golf, shuffleboard, and pool, played on a 9-hole course. What’s particularly appealing is the laid-back, social style—you can sip a drink while playing, encouraging friendly competition and good conversation. One reviewer called it “a fantastic fusion of mini golf and shuffleboard,” perfect for relaxing yet engaging fun.
Playing all day gives you the freedom to enjoy as many rounds as you like, with no fixed time limits. You can take breaks whenever you need to, whether to grab a snack, refuel, or just chill. The venue has a bar and food options available nearby, so you can indulge in local beer, wine, or cocktails (though these are not included in the ticket).
For those who love variety, the arcade games and mini golf provide multiple ways to keep entertained. The arcade offers a range of fun activities, making it suitable for all ages—up to 7 pm, that is. After that, the space is adults-only, which might be a consideration if you’re traveling with younger children.
