Situated within the Oakland Hills, Lake Chabot Golf Course offers stunning views that stretch across Oakland, Bay Bridge, and the Lake Chabot area. The course has been a local favorite since it first opened in 1932. Slight changes have been made over the years to improve the layout but it has always maintained its playability. The terrain is hilly, which makes flat lies hard to find. Accuracy and precise shot placement will get you far. The stretch of holes from the 15th to the finish has the best scenery on the golf course. From the risk-reward 15th hole, you can see all the way to San Francisco. The unique final hole is a par 6 that plays to a whopping 673 yards from the back tees. It's a straight, downhill hole with a memorable view.

The course is in much better condition than it was. Up and down hills can get tiring. A nice 18.

Fun Course

If you like hills and enjoy challenging golf, give this a try. The uphills are a two-club rise and the fairways are long. Recommend giving it a try if you’ve never been there.

A fun course. Room for error on most holes. The greens were pretty much all in good condition.

Two flat tires, refund requested.

Want a refund. I called the Chabot golf course the Friday before stating my car had two flat tires due to Pothole. Got to the course later than 9:40am and they couldn't fit me in as a single. They said to contact GN, so I'm leaving this message asking for a refund. Guy in proshop suggested I contact you, to contact them with questions.

I usually call 855-383-3633 to talk to GN , you probably need some info from proshop to prove to GN that you didn't play due to situation.
