Wow
Visiting friends in the bay and we booked a quick tee time. Never played the course so didn’t know what to expect. Had to push back tee time and was able to with ease. For it being January the course was in the great shape and it was a blast. Every hole makes you think (which I love) and was a blast to play. 100% would play again!!
Good course that needs better care
Lake Chabot is a good course with many challenging and interesting holes.
The key word is hills.
It is very hilly.
The pace of play was very slow and we did not see any marshalls.
The fairways are not in good condition.
Awesome! We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Regulation at Lake Chabot Municipal Golf Course.
Amazing course that is great bang for your buck. It was a little wet today but great drainage on fairways and throughout the course as a whole. Pace of play was spectacular and the 18th was just crazy! 600+ yard par 6! Such a fun place that I will definitely enjoy again in the near future
Terrific! Thank you for your kind words. We're so glad that you enjoyed our pace of play and that you had a fun time with us. We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Regulation at Lake Chabot Municipal Golf Course.

Golf course or park?
My expectation for lake chabot was not that high as the price point was quite low for the area. Upon receiving I was appalled at the course conditions. The fairways were pretty much mud, the tee boxes were beat to a pulp and very uneven, and the greens were like a pinball machine. I mean seriously I was so shocked they charge 60 bucks for this course, it is like someone just transformed a park into a golf course and did not maintain at all. There are some neat holes on the course with elevation changes that adds a bit of fun, but overall will never go back here again.

Car break ins
we returned to the parking lot only to find at least 6 cars were broken into. There was glass all over the parking lot. My buddy had his back passenger window bashed in. According to course staff, this happens all the time. The hired security guard was nowhere to be found. Not worth the risk of car break ins. Gimmick course anyways
Thank you for your review! We deeply apologize that your golf partner's vehicle window was smashed in, as well as the other golf patrons. We want you to know that we are sympathetic to this issue. We are in contact with the Oakland Police Department, have signs posted around the property warning of precautions to take with parking vehicles, and staff who patrol the parking lot throughout the day. Please reach out to our General Manager, Ray Robinson, at ray@lakechabotgolf.com with any further concern. Thank you!
1st time play
Played lake Chabot 1st time:
1) Course sits on a beautiful Oakland hill area, with magnificent view. However, the course condition is very bad, whether it's tee box, fairway, or the green. With serious management, it could be a prime golf course
2) Cart management is also an issue as we have to wait for our cart despite we did reserve the cart.
We were lucky to play on week day, I think the pace of play could be bad if weekend.

Chabot
Lines at pro shop were way too long. The course is not very well maintained, but you get what you pay for. It is more a "gimmicky" course than anything else. Fun for once to see the weird holes, but having every ball roll backwards like 100 yards on the fairway gets old fast.

Challenging Greens
This is a fun course for anyone with a medium to long ball. It's challenging but rewarding to get up the hills. The greens are very tough. No gifts! You have to earn every putt. The fairways ate very spotty, lots of dirt patches on the edges. Worth the round!

Mud & Dried Grass On The Same Course (Sometimes The Same Hole)
I applaud this course first of all for putting more gaps between tee times to help with spacing during the pandemic (12 minute tee time gaps). Sadly this preparation by the course quickly disappears with spacing and pace of play becoming just like any other muni course during busy times.
We tee'd off exactly at our 11:36am time with the group in front of us just reaching the green of the par 4. There was a slight wait on each tee box for the rest of the front 9. We finished those nine holes in two hours and eight minutes. The back 9 was a hole different story when it comes to pace of play. It started to lightly rain on the 10th tee and all gaps closed up in between groups. The entire back 9 had three groups on most tee boxes (my foursome along with the foursome in front and behind us). The back 9 took us two hours and twenty-six minutes to complete.
As for course conditions, they were quite hit and miss. Some fairways and tee boxes were in great shape with green grass. Some tee boxes were covered in sand with no green grass available to stand or hit from. Some fairways, rough and parts around the green had patches of mud while others are dried up grass. Keep in mind before today, the area hasn't had any rain for quite a while so patches of mud should not exist unless the course is watering too much. In that case, then why is there dried grass along with the mud?
Greens were brutal if you were above the hole on some pin placements. You couldn't stop the ball unless the hole got in the way. Front pin placements were difficult because the fringes were soft and you could not roll a ball up or get any kick forwards from an approach shot. Back pin locations were difficult because if you went over the green, your chip shot had a good chance of rolling off the front of the green.
I really like this course during the spring and summer months but it appears the cold weather and too much water from the course takes it toll around this time of year.

Still one of the best layouts, but needs some TLC
I love Chabot and always loved playing here. But this time the course just seemed neglected. A lot of the fairways were patchy and the greens were loaded up with divots and were really soggy.
I want to get out here again, but may avoid it if it is dry because any ball hit on an uphill would just roll back down.
Thank you for your feedback on your recent round at our course! We have been working tirelessly to provide safe and quality golf through these uncertain times, and are always looking to improve. Although golfers should fix their ball marks during play, we do have our marshals drive around the course fixing them throughout the day. We have also been irrigating the course efficiently to promote turf growth with a little help from Mother Nature. We expect that upon your next round with us that the conditions will be at yours and our expectation.

Interesting
It was a hard time to enjoy the course and playing Tuesday. We went through 3 golf carts cause they wouldn't start or wouldn't have enough power to go up and down the hills. That made for a longer day than it should be.
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at Regulation at Lake Chabot Municipal Golf Course!
