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.

Best Layout in the Bay
This course is absolutely stunning. Lots of elevated tee locations. Lots of wildlife. Saw a bald eagle. It was magical. Like playing in the Shire, hitting your ball into majestic green canyons. Just played Harding Park, and, honestly, I like this layout WAY more.
Awesome! We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Regulation at Lake Chabot Municipal Golf Course.

Lake Chabot is a challenging municipal golf course
Lake Chabot has a fun layout with a lot of elevation changes, greens that are relatively small and sloped, extremely nice Player Assistants and is the home of the only Par 6 in California. With 3 good shots, you could be less than 100 yards to the green.

A little slow this afternoon
Paired up with a couple of people that one of them is super slow as missed almost every shot, 13 holes in 3.5 hrs, had to quit because it’s getting too dark

Big elevation changes, average conditions
If you want big elevation changes in a golf course, this is it. The holes are not long from the white tees but the elevation changes could make a short par 4 hole into a monstrous one. It is an interesting layout and worthwhile playing at least once. This course owns the only par 6 hole west of the Mississippi and makes a fun finishing hole. If you hit your drive right and get a good down hill roll, you could end up with a 400+ yard drive. A word of caution when driving in and out of this golf course because the road goes thru a couple of fairways and you could be susceptible to golf balls hitting your car if you happen to be on that road while someone is teeing off.
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at Regulation at Lake Chabot Municipal Golf Course!
Over Priced
Course is not in very good condition, no marshals monitoring pace of play . Round took 5.5 hrs mainly due to too many inexperienced players. I’d stay away from this course .
Thank you for your review! We are sorry your experience was short of 5 stars. We would like to hear more about your time with us. At your earliest convenience, please email Miguel Olvera at molvera@touchstonegolf.com. Thank you again and we look forward to speaking with you.
Great round of golf with friends.
Coming from the peninsula we always love playing Chabot. This time the greens were in fantastic shape and super fast. Very challenging but fair. Can't wait to come back. Also, staff dealing with Covid and keeping everyone safe were over the top helpful. Thanks for what was a great day.
Terrific! Thank you for your kind words. We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Regulation at Lake Chabot Municipal Golf Course.

Wow
Visiting friends in the bay and we booked a quick tee time. Never played the course so didn’t know what to expect. Had to push back tee time and was able to with ease. For it being January the course was in the great shape and it was a blast. Every hole makes you think (which I love) and was a blast to play. 100% would play again!!
Wonderful! Thank you for your kind words. We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Regulation at Lake Chabot Municipal Golf Course.
Car break ins
we returned to the parking lot only to find at least 6 cars were broken into. There was glass all over the parking lot. My buddy had his back passenger window bashed in. According to course staff, this happens all the time. The hired security guard was nowhere to be found. Not worth the risk of car break ins. Gimmick course anyways
Thank you for your review! We deeply apologize that your golf partner's vehicle window was smashed in, as well as the other golf patrons. We want you to know that we are sympathetic to this issue. We are in contact with the Oakland Police Department, have signs posted around the property warning of precautions to take with parking vehicles, and staff who patrol the parking lot throughout the day. Please reach out to our General Manager, Ray Robinson, at ray@lakechabotgolf.com with any further concern. Thank you!
Good course that needs better care
Lake Chabot is a good course with many challenging and interesting holes.
The key word is hills.
It is very hilly.
The pace of play was very slow and we did not see any marshalls.
The fairways are not in good condition.

Amazing course that is great bang for your buck. It was a little wet today but great drainage on fairways and throughout the course as a whole. Pace of play was spectacular and the 18th was just crazy! 600+ yard par 6! Such a fun place that I will definitely enjoy again in the near future
Terrific! Thank you for your kind words. We're so glad that you enjoyed our pace of play and that you had a fun time with us. We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Regulation at Lake Chabot Municipal Golf Course.

Golf course or park?
My expectation for lake chabot was not that high as the price point was quite low for the area. Upon receiving I was appalled at the course conditions. The fairways were pretty much mud, the tee boxes were beat to a pulp and very uneven, and the greens were like a pinball machine. I mean seriously I was so shocked they charge 60 bucks for this course, it is like someone just transformed a park into a golf course and did not maintain at all. There are some neat holes on the course with elevation changes that adds a bit of fun, but overall will never go back here again.
