Lake Chabot Golf Course

What Lake Chabot Golf Course does

Lake Chabot Golf Course is a public golf and country club facility located at 11450 Golf Links Road in the Oakland Hills, California, established in 1923 and operated under the legal entity 'Oakland Golf'. The single-site operation spans 27 holes of golf — an 18-hole Championship course plus a 9-hole Par 3 Executive course — augmented by an 18-hole disc golf course, driving range, practice areas, and the on-site Par 6 Cafe & Hill House restaurant. Beyond core play, the facility runs structured golf instruction (Junior Golf Academy and SVGOLF), hosts tournaments, corporate outings, charity fundraisers (e.g., Oakland City Championship, Tees for Bees, Gloria Armstrong), and supports multiple affiliated clubs (Sunward Women's GC, Golf Club At Lake Chabot, Golden Gate Par Chasers, East Bay Disc Golf Club). The site is the company's headquarters and sole location.

The product surface is non-software: physical recreational assets are the primary offering, with customer-facing technology limited to an EZLinks online tee-time booking system, a TripleSeat event request interface, an E-Club email subscription, and standard social channels (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram). The business generates revenue from five streams: greens fees (tiered by residency, day of week, and twilight/regular), electric golf cart rentals ($12-$17 per golfer), food and beverage at the on-site restaurant, event hosting for corporate outings and charity fundraisers, and merchandise sales via an online store. Greens fees on the Championship course range from $29 (senior, M-F) to $55 (public, weekend/holiday, regular), with a $10 junior rate and discounted Oakland-resident tiers.

The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer at the regional (Bay Area) level: customers book tee times via the website or Pro Shop phone line ((510) 351-5812), walk in, or reserve event/corporate outings through a dedicated request system. Customer acquisition relies on organic social, email newsletters (E-Club), and community partnerships such as the 'Grow the Roots' joint tournament with the Oakland Roots Sports Club (July 4, 2026). Headcount is reported at 11-50 employees, consistent with a single-site public-golf operator, and the company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or institutional ownership.
