I played Chabot on the 15 of may. I read the previous feedback and I do agree on some things. I lived in oakland all my life and been playing Chabot for about 15yrs now and the locals know (well the ones Iknow) say "don't play chabot in the winter or after heavy rains." But I do have to say it was the best I've seen it in about 3 yrs now. I walked the course which is a workout, I felt the fairways to be in decent shape. Most greens were o.k. some needed alot of help, but hay a good golfer doesn't need manicured greens to make par. And for 15 dollar twilight, the views of the bay, deer, wild turkey and peace and quiet right in Oakland you can't go wrong. peace. Willy

I played boundary oaks yesterday and I have to say. The upkeep of the fairways was lacking! The fairways look and felt and played like the rough. I hit numerous long drives strait and couldn't find my ball (but i found a few other balls that people must have gave up on aswell)...
Either it was buried in the grass or stuck in a 2 inch divot. Made for frustrating golf. The greens looked nice but played rough. Very bouncy and unexpected left or right KICKS on putts. I understand that it has been raining alot and they probaly can't mow when it's really wet. They should either tell you or better yet give a price discount for the conditions (I paid 26 to walk) $16 would've been better... Call before you go.
