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.

Please stop allowing 5-somes!

Course is in very reasonable condition for the price point. Such a beautiful location in the hills above Oakland's Lake Chabot. Some holes feature panoramic views of the Bay & SF skyline.

The course is not hard, aside from being very hilly, with uneven lies a major feature. All the Par 5s & the unique Par 6 18th are reachable, to provide ample opportunities for Birdie or even Eagle for better players (had my putt for Eagle 4 on the 18th lip out!)

My complaint is the 5-some ahead of us who caused us to wait on every hole. They were behind pace to the group ahead of them, and never hustled to the next tee, chatting away. Never saw a Marshall once! Not cool!

The course was in good shape and is always improving. The greens were slower than usual and more ruff areas that need to be mowed.

Good course and great value

The greens were in excellent condition, the fairways were in good condition. The pace of play was outstanding, no waiting, played 18 holes in under 4 hours. Love this course and the par 6 is just a lot of fun.

I love this course

Chabot is one of my favorite golf courses to play at. I live very close and it is a perfect price for 18 holes. The course is in excellent condition and the bbq on the top of the hill is so very good. I even play the executive course sometimes and that is a great course to practice your shot game. I highly recommend this course.

Dew in the Morning

First early tee time for me and won’t be last. Hole 1 often times gives groups a little challenge to get up and going and being we tee’d off at 6:20 there was very little time or coffee to get us moving faster. Pace of play was fair all morning only having to wait for the group ahead of us ever so often. Lake Chabot’s hilly layout is it’s primary hazard that allows you the ability to nearly hit every club in your bag. If you love long Drives this is the place for you. Greens were surprisingly slower today than last week but will chalk that up to the morning dew.

Lake Chabot is a fun course with many challenging holes that are not too difficult. The 18th hole is a par 6 which I love.There are lots of steep holes so we take a cart.
