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.

Play the right Tees

Group of 3 young men played from the blues. One of them drove with an iron, because he could hit his woods. The other two were much better or consistent enough to be hitting from the Blues. To make matter worse they would reload at almost all holes, hitting several balls even while we watched. Made for a painful 5 hr round. No marshal in sight to push them on or set them straight.

Poor conditions

Tee boxes are the worst, not one even lie and divots everywhere. The fairways are just as bad. Slow play with bad golfers.

Beautiful & Challenging

Great course and great staff! The concessions hut was wonderful! The lady there is a gem and the food is great (burger, hot links, etc). I will definitely be back before I join the exodus out of CA to TX.
