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.

Total round

Course was in the best shape I’ve ever seen it in. Have played Chabot since 1972 off and on. A great deal for the price.

Not for beginners.

A hard course for beginners like me.

Too many places to lose a ball.

Fun Course!

I really enjoyed my round there. The layout was perfect for my skill level and not overly challenging. I look forward to playing there again soon.

Grew up in east bay and have lost track on how many times I have played this course but it has great views and some very challenging holes especially if you play from blues. The conditions are decent for this time of the year and greens were better than most muni’s however my issue is with the staff. TOTALLY CLUELESS! It seems that no one is interested in making a good impression on so that maybe you want to come back. No coffee service inside, the attendant did a great of ignoring me so I just left. I signed for a cart to receive the key on a specific cart # only to see someone driving off with it. When I returned to explain what had happen they told me to grab cart # __ only to search and there was no cart by that #. The only staff member who seemed to enjoy what she was doing was at the snack shack, Carlotta, she gets it! Great dogs and very accommodating. 58$ w/ cart is tolerable but they need to treat guests as if they weren’t waking them up from their nap.

We played Lake Chabot in the Oakland Hills at

10:00 am and finished in about 5.5 hours.

Pace was slow due to a tournament which we

found out upon registering.

The course was in average/good condition, greens were mowed and fast, a combination of hillside fairways were hilly and some level.

Lots of trees, good views.

Terrible...

Spent 6 hours playing 14 holes- had to stop play twice to get a new golf cart because ours died. There was at one point a 3-4 party back up that continued throughout the day. No marshalls either to speed up the play.

Course wasn’t in great shape, tee boxes had a lot of dead grass.

Challenging course that is fun

Lake Chabot is a very interesting course. If you enjoy hills you will love this course.

The 9th hole is a fabulous par 3 and the 18th is a par 6 which is a ;lot of fun.
