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.

challenging fun course

Lake Chabot is a fun course to play with many challenging holes. The greens are in very good condition but very difficult.

My favorite hole is number 18 which is a par 6 at 649 yards. It has tremendous ups and downs.

Always enjoy Lake Chabot play!

I have visited this course 5/6 times this year 2021 and enjoyed every moment being there.

It has a excellent mix of design, course and holes. And one of the best hole is 18.

Enjoy and stay healthy!

Fun old school lay out

This course is fun to play because you can hit a variety of shots. You can be aggressive off the tee if you’re hitting it accurate, or lay back to your favorite yardage. The greens are small so there is a premium on accuracy for your approach shots. You can either make a bunch of birdies, or loss a bunch of balls if your hitting it off line. There is a lot slope on every hole. This course is enjoyable for all skill levels. This course is in decent condition for a muni. There are some dried out areas, but most importantly the landing areas and greens are in good condition.

Suggest add some signs

The course is very hilly and fun to play. Unlike other courses where the cart path will always bring you to the next tee box, there are quite a few holes in this course with multiple paths and crossroads but lack of signs to show the right direction. Suggest add clear signs in these crossroads.
