Lake Chabot Golf Course - The 18 Hole Course

Course was green and well maintained, albeit the greens were punched three weeks ago and their were not as fast as normal; no dried out fairways; pace a little slow with back-ups at the first four par 3's; 5 hour round, overall pace was ok, did not feel like too much sitting around. course is somewhat challenging due level changes and some very tricky greens. LC has upgraded carts. The food concessions have been very good for years. The clubhouse is old and the lounge is does not induce someone to stay for any length of time. Course secret: looks as if not many people going out after 1:00 pm.

The staff was friendly and the course was in great shape.

Place is in tip-top shape! Greens rolling nice only 2 semi bumpy besides the normal holy #9

Go play in the "O" BABY!!!!

FORE...........

Course was very nicely placed and on 15th hole, it was such a nice view of Oakland as other mentioned.
Some course had narrow fairway which needs control over distance. Down hill par 3, 9th hole..gotta consider drop and wind which was a fun hole.
I like the course...wish I could get more discount to play and for Vehicle to pass by for parking and leaving be caution.

This is a course where the yardage means almost nothing. There is so much change in elevation you will be guessing how much longer shorter each shot plays. Very unique course especially with the finishing par 6 ( that is amazingly downhill, I hit a 4 hybrid almost 300 yds into the group in front of us... sorry guys!).

Course was in good shape except for no one seems to fix their ball marks on the greens!

Pace of play was OK, in that the course is only 6000 yds and it still took about 4:30 to play.

Fun times had, and would play there again.

My buddies and I go there 4 times a year. We live in SF so it's a little bit of a trek. We generally like the course including the par 6 but not much else. People constantly ask if they can skip holes ahead of you (not due to pace of play) but because they wanna play the par 6. Understandable but we generally play a 4 hour round here. Also during the game the snack shop closes at 2 or before, there is no bartender in the clubhouse after 4:30 or shes to busy making burgers for a first tee like program, we didn't see one marshal the whole time, and saw a twosome of buddies that wanted to play through with some sort of professional photographer actually drive a cart onto the 16th green! Need I say more?

Great course great price well kept great staff didn't try the food just wish they would have a driving range where you can use your driver but overall the course was good

Lake Chabot is possibly the best value for weekend golf, in the Bay Area. The course is in decent condition with some fun and quirky holes. Pace of play is slow on weekends, of course, but speedy during the week. It offers some terrific views of the Bay, from a few holes on the back nine. The snack shack offers one of the best burgers in the Bay Area!

Love Lake Chabot, however the pace of play on Sunday was pretty slow and the group behind us wasn't giving us any privacy around the tee box or on the fairway as they continually hit their tee shots while we were within range.

This course was very hilly. It was hard to judge distances. It didn't have makers beyond 150. The greens were flat and slow. The tee boxes were not level. It was very green though and the staff was courtious. There wasn't a Marshall so the pace of play was very bad. A twosome in front of me was holding up myself and two other foursomes...very rude. All in all the course was nice but the others players didn't even know how to hit the ball and had no clue about etiquette...cut off shorts and tee shirts as well. Probably won't make the trip again...sorry chabot

We ended up just playing the executive course after they were 45 minutes behind pace off the tee. They need to cut tee times and increase the green fees, no one likes a 5+ hour round.

41$ with a cart seemed like a good opportunity to give lake chabot a chance. Overall it was almost a 5 and a 1/2 hr round. Not just no Marshall to speed things up but even though start times were 20 minutes late the starter was cramming in walk ins. Cart paths need repairs as go a lot of the greens and fairways. Put some money back into the course. For the same price Im willing to drive a little farther for a better experience.

I played Chabot for the first time not knowing what to think. What I came out of my round thinking was how poor this course was. The layout is pretty cool with all of the elevation changes but the overall conditions of the course were dreadful. Just about every tee box was in horrible condition but my biggest complaint has to be the greens and how every single one is a small circle. With all of the elevation changes you sometimes were underneath the green so being able to see what section of the green the flag was placed was impossible. I'd maybe be okay with this if there was a flag indication in the cart but there wasn't. This was especially poor on the par 3's including what I think is 9 (The huge drop down hole) because playing from the blues you can't even see the green from the tee box. There are some positives from chabot being some very fun holes with great views of the bay.

Lake Chabot is a must for all Bay Area golfers. The course and staff are very welcoming and well maintained. The course affords great views of the SF Bay Area; especially from the 15th hole, and generally speaking; fantastic views and vistas of the East Bay hill.
The course is challenging for the 12-18 handicapper, but is not punishing in the sense that every hole feels like mission impossible.
Tee boxes and green are in good shape; lots of slope and break on the greens...
All in all I would highly recommend Lake Chabot for the courteous staff/challenging course lay out....and oh yeah...that 625 yard par 6 18th hole. I have played there 2 times, and I will surely be back for more.

This course has goes up and down on many holes which makes the shot making very interesting to judge distance. Weather was perfect for this time year. The course has many great views.

This course has more drastic elevation changes than I have ever seen. The course is challenging and fun. Conditions were fair to good with nice greens.

Fun course - short - but nice topography. However, it took 3 hours to play the front 9. Waaaaaaaaay to long for this course. Last hole was a par 6 - very fun.

Lost a lot of balls in the rough, but there were some stunning holes, and my adult son and I really enjoyed this course. If you enjoy hitting downhill shots from the tee box, you will love this course, especially hole # 9. Finishing hole is a beautiful 650 yard par 6 downhill hole- Loved it, and will play it again. A cart is almost a must on this course.

We're liked a lot. All my friends love this cause.
We gonna again next week.!!!!

Got there about an hr before our 8:48 tee time, we were gifted with the opportunity to go out at 8:30. We were on 580 by 12:45.
We played free and clear barley seeing anyone for the rest of the morning, rhythm and pace were excellent.
Wish I could post a picture or 2
