I have played at Chabot numerous times the past 12 months. For what you pay, it's an awesome course with some great views of Oakland and San Francisco. However, this time I was an unlucky victim to auto theft in the Lake Chabot parking lot, which is directly adjacent and completely visible from the pro shop. Upon returning from the 18th green, one of my windows was smashed out and my belongings inside were stolen. To say that the employees in the pro shop were helpful would be a supreme overstatement. I requested to file an incident report with the shop since they had zero protocol for the situation despite them even admitting to their parking lot having a history of numerous car break-ins over the past few months and they have done nothing to mitigate future break-ins (i.e., not installing cameras, not patrolling the grounds , etc.). I am beyond disappointed by this golf course and the staff, especially after bringing multiple friends here over the past year and spreading the word about how much I have enjoyed it up until now. I hate to feed into stereotypes, but at the end of the day, this course is in Oakland and with Oakland you have to expect certain things to happen...in this case it's getting your car windows smashed while enjoying a round of golf. It was fun while it lasted, Lake Chabot, but I will never return after this ordeal.
