Lake Chabot Golf Course - The 18 Hole Course
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.

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.
Nestled in the Oakland Hills
Lake Chabot golf course has been around for quite some time and they are working to upgrade and improve the course.
New is the driving range. They are currently working on improved course irrigation.
The course itself finds trees on every hole and nary a flat hole to be found. Getting used to the lies takes some experience and there are some forced carries.
There are also some stunning views so if the weather is clear, as it typically is, you should have views of the San Francisco Bay.
The challenges can slow the pace of play so be ready to either ask to play through less experienced players or get ready to wait.
Great value for the money
Greens are well cared for. There is some repair work in progress on holes 14 and 15 but other holes are pretty good.
Lake Chabot Course Review
Lake Chabot is a fun course to play. Right now they are working on new irrigation which limits the play on several holes. Hopefully, they'll finish soon and this will improve the course conditions going forward.
Good layout, very affordable
Home of the par 6. Greens were in good condition. Work on irrigation system closed holes 13 and 14. Driving range has been flattened, much better than old range.
Great course!
Great course for the value. Make sure you time your round well otherwise you can hit some SERIOUS delays but besides that, love it. Make sure to say hi to Carlotta!!!
Hilly/need cart
Perfect day.. 1 pm tee time.. about 70 and sunny.
Greens were plugged/sanded like 2 weeks ago, so they were all in great shape. Hilly course up in the Oakland hills... some great looks around the bay. Course is not long, but requires accuracy off tee.
Snack shack, get the "Carmen Burger" grilled with the works... yummy. 4 hour round on a Sunday.... outstanding!
