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.

Must go back
First time I’ve been here, wont be the last. Fun, challenging course. It’s really up and down hills in a good way, as long as you’re in a cart.
Great! Thank you for visiting us at Regulation at Lake Chabot Municipal Golf Course. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Decent course bad parking lot
Course was good enough for the price. Unfortunately the twosome in front of us was 15 minutes late for their tee time and decided to play in front of us. Round would’ve been quicker if they didn’t decide to hold us up. Greens were hit or miss. Experience on the course was good for the most part.
Unfortunately coming back from the 18th hole 7 cars got there windows busted in and items stolen from their cars. One happened to be a member of my group whom I invited. It wouldn’t have been such an issue if we didn’t hear workers talking about management not doing anything after the same thing happened the day prior. An employee said there has easily been 75 cars broken into this year. All in all I would not recommend the course on that fact alone.
Thank you for your review! We're glad that you enjoyed our course, but we apologize for the slow pace of play and that your golf partner's car was broken into. We are completely 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 contact out General Manager, Ray Robinson, at ray@lakechabotgolf.com with any further concern.
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.

Good value, fun layout
We played the twilight times, and it was great. Super fun course layout. The Par 6 on 18 is incredibly fun, and the back 9 has awesome views in general.
The pace of play is not bad for a public course with a good amount of beginners. We finished 18 holes in 3 hours and 45 minutes.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH
FRST OF ALL THIS COURSE IS ABSOLUTELY NOT WALKABLE SO BE PREPARED TO TAKE A POWER CART OR YOULL BE SORRY BY THE 9TH TEE IF YOU MAKE IT THAT FAR THIS COURSE IS WITHOUT QUESTION THE MOST UP AND DOWN HILLY GC i'VE EVER PLAYED AND WHILE IT HAS ITS VIEWS AND CHALLENGES IT'S NOT A COURSE I CARE TO PLAY AGAIN.. MY KNEES HURT JUST GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE CART TO HIT SHOTS ON STEEP HILLS AND UNEVEN LIES ON EVERY HOLE. .pUTTONG GREENS WERE JUST OK BUT PUTTABLE. I'LL CALL THIS COURSE A ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH.
Thank you for your review! Due to our location, walking the course could be challenging for some but offer spectacular views of the SF Bay Area. We do have plenty of golfers who enjoy the up-and-down nature of the walk for exercise during their round. We at Lake Chabot pride ourselves on offering the best value for your round in the bay. Please contact our General Manager, Ray Robinson, directly at ray@lakechabotgolf.com to provide any additional feedback or to give the course another go. Thank you and have a great day!

This Course has Spectacular Views
Tee Boxes are in terrible shape, the fairways are all burn up, sand traps are overtaken by weeds, and the greens are soft and bumpy, but al least they are green. The Views of the bay and SF on the back 9 are amazing and the Par-6 18th is Always a fun hole to play.

The Tee Boxes are in terrible shape and fairways are burnt up. The greens were in pretty good shape. A little soft and bumpy but compared to the tee boxes and fairways the were good. Beautiful views on the back nine and as always the Par 6 18th is always fun.

Fun course in the Oakland hills
Great friendly staff!!!
Elevation changes galore, small greens make club selection tough,. Views of the bay are incredible at times!
Great finishing hole!

Chabot
This course is super fun to play, unfortunately the condition of the course is what I would call ratty. And the condition of the course does not match the cost. The views however are spectacular. All in all it was ok

Not worth 34$
Greens were bumpy, no one fixes their ball marks.
Fairways brown, looks like add the courses need
watering and better greens, I`ve played this course many times and this is about as bad as it gets. Afraid to "hit
down" thru the ball, as you might break your wrist. Will be back in Oct maybe after a few rains. Or wait until next April.
