Lake Chabot Golf Course - The 18 Hole Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Chabot
What a great day golfing with three friends.
The course was in very nice shape along with a nice pace of play.
Be sure to be hungry for the snack shack after the 4th green, Carlotta who works there is a real breath of fresh air and she will make you feel very appreciated.
Keep the ball left off of the tee on six.

Incredibly Slow
I’ve been here several times, and probably won’t ever come back. Every time I’ve played here, the course has been so congested that the pace of play is excruciatingly slow. I’ve never even finished more than 9 holes here because it just takes so long. I know it’s the Bay Area and courses are often crowded, but it’s beyond frustrating to pay for 18 holes, and only play 9 or less over 3 hours.

Carts sharing keys with other carts
First time ever that we’ve seen golf carts with no keys of its own. People have to wait for the keys from other carts arriving from their finished rounds to use. We’ve already teed off and still have to wait for our cart keys. Simple solution… get those keys duplicated.

Hot dog on 12 is mandatory experience.
Course is showing is age regarding amenities, (Clubhouse was built in 1940) but the layout still stands the test of time. Very significant elevation changes. Fairly wide open landing areas but some postage stamp greens. Drove the ball 400 yards on the downhill par 6 for the 18th hole. Still only made par. Greens in great shape. Pace of play was excellent and was on a Sunday.
