Course needs maintenance

Course condition is so so. Tee off area and fairways need maintenance. The burned club house has not been torn down and replace yet.

Nice course

Overall it was a nice course. The course is very hilly, a lot of ups and downs. The holes are fairly straight and wide open. Club house/pro shop recently caught on fire but it looks like it would have been nice inside from what was left.

Lake Chabot in good shape

This was the first time I've played there in about two years. The course was in better shape than I remember it, except for the cart paths, which were pretty bumpy.

It's a very interesting course to play, with lots of elevation changes. I love the 9th hole, where you tee off to a par 3 about 150 feet below the tee boxes.

Beautiful, but not for beginners

Beautiful coarse but lots of elevation changes. You are severely punished for not hitting fairway. Not the best for beginner golfers.

Not Terrible

This course is alright if you want to try your hand at playing a course in lousy condition. The cart paths don't really exist, the Rough around the greens is filled with flowers and the greens are extremely small. Not a tough course even from the tips but it's fun sometimes. Always gets backed up about the 14th hole cause of the Par 6 I guess
