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.

hilly windy & beautiful
Due to the rain the course was muddy in places and cart path only with carts. It was windy and pace of play was good. The staff was excellent
Great day. Miss this course
Blue bird day. Great pace. Used to play here a lot in 80’s
Great to be back.
Good Local Place to Play
Chabot has always been one of my favorite courses to play in the bay area.
The staff is excellent and I appreciate when people understand customer service. It's a two way street, you will be surprised how far a smile will take you.
Maybe the Lake Chabot staff can help the kitchen staff at Monarch Bay in San Leandro!
Did not play
As I arrived at the facility there were several golfers
complaining at the desk that things were so backed
up that there were at least three groups backed up and waiting to play hole number 3 and they were leaving. I did the same and left without ever checking in.
Great golf, Great Views
Up and down. Greens below me. Greens above me. Fabulous views of SF Bay off to the side.
East Bay Gem
Never go wrong if the weather is great in Bay Area it’s even better up at Lake Chabot. Great track that allows your driver to get some swings in. Greens are much better than before and one of my go to courses when East Bay round is up.
Very fun course
Lake Chabot is a very unusual and fun course.
It is very hilly with very challenging holes.
The 18th is a great par 6!!
Don't bother
Fairways over-watered and muddy. Layout is very hilly; not a flat lie it seemed. A friend recommended it and had played there once before. But I was not impressed. Pace slow and carts are in very poor condition.
Mario Golf IRL
Somehow this course is both extremely boring and extremely interesting at the same time. Front 9 has 3 par 3s and 3 par 5s - lots of variety? Sorta.. 7/9 holes are straight holes to an elevated green. The green on 5 isn't elevated, and 9 is a 100 foot drop to a postage stamp.
The whole course is filled with driveable par 4s, which are fun in moderation but I kinda got bored with it, especially since 4 of them are bunched together in 10-16.
Then you get to the last hole. Par 6. (yeah) Downhill dogleg left. The problem is that I can't see a way to ever get a decent lie on the second or 3rd shots. You'll always be taking a wood or long iron off a severe back to front downslope.
Good conditions
Rained the day before so Course was a little damp. Fairways are in good shape green are soft . Good test for all levels of players.
Fun course in the Oakland hills
Lake Chabot is a fun course to play with lots of elevation changes and great view of the San Francisco Bay.
Won’t be back . Unbelievably slow and nobody enforcing pace of play . Gave it 3/4 chances. Literally wasted my time for too long . Done.
Course could be better
They ran out of golf cart and made us wait. It’s terrible that cart is not ready and delayed tee time by half hour
very good course
Lake Chabot is an excellent course.
Unfortunately the day we played the 16th hole was closed. Much worse the 18th hole which is a par 6 was changed to a par 4. They moved the tee up 150-200 yards and put the tee on a terrible hill.
It was still a good course and a pleasure to play but not as good as normal.
Short but good
Corse is short ... just keep drive in fairway... or hit 3-4 woods. Greens/fairways/tee boxes good. Only complaint was had to WAIT 15 minutes for CARTS...
what a joke... tee times delayed due to not ENOUGH carts! Hilly course in the Oakland hills... cart is way to go.
