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.

Challenging for short hitters
The course has numerous ups and downs and deep changes in elevations at times. There are some holes that require long and perfect tee shots to land on a flat area otherwise you'll be going down the hill to find your ball.
However, there are some holes with great views. Play it once and then decide if you want to go back for the challenge.
Holy hills!
Playing the game how it's meant to be played. Walking this course was unreal peaks and valleys but it's all worth it when you see the views. Easy course to play first nine was good but the real game starts on the back 9. The course was a tad dry because of the drought, but on the back nine is where the scenery comes into play you get a view of the East Bay and South Bay that's incredible. I will be playing this course again when I'm done being sore.
Lake Cabot
Good deal, great views of the bay from several holes. Like many GC in California these days, the courses are stressed due to the drought. It has been awhile since I had played here and besides the drought, there are other areas on the course that needs some TLC, namely the cart path and restrooms.
A good deal but not a great deal.
Course Needs Maintenance
Course needs maintenance. Cart paths are worse than the course to ride on.
Lake Chabot Colf Course
The course is under some construction. First tee is box is a temporary par three. The course is a lot browner than when I played 3 months ago.. The course has beautiful vista views and elevated tee boxes.. I enjoy playing even though the course wasn't up to par..
Great Value
For the price, Lake Chabot is tough to beat! The course is in great shape. Only down side, they do not have a driving range yet. But I would definitely play there again and again.
Good local course
good value. Good views. Interesting with the elevation changes.
1st tee and driving range under repairs right now.
Great views
Course was in fair condition due to the drought. Pace of play was very slow, 630 round. ( in all fairness it was a Sun). Costumer service was excellent, especially at the snack shack!!!
Interesting play, a lot of up and downs. Great views!
fun!!!
The course is in ok shape given the drought we are in, the greens are awsome, what a pretty cool course, lots of elevation changes, and some really good views of the bay area, would definitely play again.
My day at Chabot
Very fun course to play! Had heard about the course from friends so I had to play! I had never played a course with all those hills, valleys, but worth the trip and $$!!Will definately play again in the near future! A fun day for sure.
Greens are in Excellent Condition!
My 16 year old son and I got our tee times through GolfNow for $15 each including a cart. The fairway conditions are in okay conditions considering the drought, but the greens are in excellent shape! Although the course is shorter than 6200 yards, the elevation changes and the tree lined fairways add to the challenge. The course is tucked into the beautiful Oakland hills and offers vistas of the city and bay on the back 9 that are a treat for every golfer. On the 18th, 673 yard par 6, my son got on in 2 with a 3 wood off the tee and another into the green. When you get to the bottom of the 18th fairway, don't forget to look back up the hill. It's an awesome sight!!
Decent conditions but tough lies
The course is in decent shape but in general there just aren't many flat lies on the course. The staff are friendly and good. The greens though are slow but in decent shape.
Pace of the play was bad. Took 5 hours and 55 minutes to finish.
The course was in good condition but the pace of the play eas really bad. 5 hours and 56 minutes to complete the game. There was a marshall but he did'nt do anything.
well worth the money
Very hilly and a challenge to walk, so a cart is a must. There's a big variety of different holes and looks to challenge your shot making. Don't miss out on this thrilling course!
Great GolfNow Deal
Considering the extent of the drought in California, the course was in pretty good shape. Greens are firm without being too crazy. There are some areas just off the fairway or your ball can get away from you really easily. Got a pretty good midweek special on golf now taking off just afternoon and was able to play a round in a little over four hours. The lack of a usable driving range was my only complaint
Great value for what it is
Pretty fun course overall. Lots of elevation made it very fun. I thought it was somewhat of an easier course. A lot of short par 4s and 5s and of course the par 6 which really wasn't that difficult. The greens were in pretty good shape and played moderately fast. The fairways were ok but if you go in the rough you're hitting off dirt a lot of the time. We got a great deal from golf now just $20 with a cart at 12:30 on a Monday. So overall a great deal
Great value
Course was in good shape, considering the drought. Greens were a little on the slow side but ran true.
Decent course, but not worth the cost!!!
Greens are in great shape. Tees and fairways are ok shape. Pretty hilly. But the downfall on this course is the cost of a golf cart. It is a pretty hilly course, so a cart is needed by all except the billy goats. My green fee on a Thursday afternoon was $30, which is an acceptable fee, but when I arrived, I found out that was for walking. It cost an additional $17 for the cart - for a total of $47. That is a ridiculous cost for this course. It is worth $30, but NOT $47. I will NEVER go back for that cost.
Raining on arrival.this course is a course the city of OAKLAND should be proud to present
This course has the most beautiful view, and some great holes to play
A lot of elevation from tee to greens!
I enjoyed playing this course, as it has a lot of diversuty to the layoiut of the land! It's been awhile since I last played this course, so was relatively "new" to me, in that I didn't remember quite a few of the holes!
