About Lake Chabot Golf Course

Lake Chabot Golf Course is one of the Bay Area's most beloved municipal courses, set in the wooded hills of East Oakland near the Lake Chabot Regional Park. The 18-hole layout winds through mature eucalyptus and redwood groves, with significant elevation changes that make it one of the more physically demanding and visually rewarding municipal courses in Northern California. Designed in the 1920s and continuously operated since, the course has a historic character that newer tracks simply can't replicate. Panoramic views of the East Bay hills and occasional Bay glimpses appear from the higher holes. The combination of natural beauty, challenging terrain, and affordable pricing makes Lake Chabot one of the most treasured public golf assets in the East Bay.

History

Lake Chabot Golf Course was established in the 1920s as part of Oakland's early commitment to public recreational infrastructure. The course takes advantage of the same wooded East Oakland hills that host the regional park, and its routing through mature tree groves has evolved over nearly a century of continuous operation. It is one of the oldest public courses in California and carries significant historical importance for Bay Area golf.

East Bay golfers who love walking a scenic, historic, and genuinely challenging layout in a natural park setting at city muni prices.
