Lake Chabot Golf Course - The 18 Hole 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.

$16 for 18 holes and a cart, Course was in decent shape for the price and have no complaints. Great round of golf for the $

Me and my dad had our first experience in this course he is 74 yrs old . We had a great time Thanks!

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.

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.

I booked a tee time through GolfNow for March 11, 2018. I arrived 30 min early to a group of college students trying to redeem a Groupon voucher. It was clear the lady behind the counter was not in a good mood and was making the group find additional confirmation codes in order to play a very poor 9 hole course located at the back of the facility. After 15 min of back an forth the group finally found the additional credentials needed and were let on the course, not without the surprise golf ball cost and club rental. Already annoyed with how this lady was treating these customers I patiently waited my turn, she finally turned to me and asked me if I was ready to check in, I gave her my name when she looks up and says "you do know you booked a walking rate" When I was booking the round there was a $15 dollar option and a $16 dollar option (I was driving when I booked this, so I do admit I should have paid more attention to this dollar difference but needed to hurry and book before going into an area without cell reception). Suprised by her telling me I booked a walking rate I told her it was a mistake and the option to ride was only a dollar more. Let me give a bit more context, there was absolutely no one on the 18 hole course, to make matters worse this course has huge hills and to walk this course it would take almost an entire day. I said this was a mistake and I will contact golfnow to adjust the confirmation. I opened my phone to fix the problem but there was absolutely no service, I pulled out my work phone and still had no service. I politely asked if there's anything she could do and explained the odd situation. HER RESPONSE " Sorry I can't do anything for you, If you want to pay 11 dollars a person I can give you a cart" (Please keep this in mind, it was $16 to book the round with a cart on golf now, I booked the $15 dollar walking rate by accident. So this means I am paying almost twice to use a cart) I asked If she could give me the wifi code so I can sign into my golfnow account HER RESPONSE "Wifi is only for employees" Here I am with no service and basically being forced to pay $22 dollars to use 1 cart! I asked to speak to her manager, who she proceeded to call and made me feel like I was doing something wrong. They talked for a bit then decided it was fair to take off 2 dollars requesting I pay $20 for the cart. At this point I heard enough and canceled my reservation and went to Redwood Canyon which turned out to be an absolutely great experience. Lake Chabot lost a good customer and I have relayed this experience to friends and family who play this course at least once a week and will not be returning because of this. GIVE PEOPLE THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT! Lake Chabot you lost 4-8 regular golfers on your course this weekend over a simple booking mistake, customer service should be the first thing you teach people working in a customer facing role.

We played on a Wednesday, the only downside was that there wasn't a beverage cart driving around. This was our first time playing so we didn't know that the 9th hole didn't end at the clubhouse so we could stop for a bite and refill our waters/beer. Everything else was great! beautiful course to play with great views and friendly people working.
