Explore 3 public golf courses in Oakland, California. Compare live tee-time prices, read reviews, and book the perfect round across the East Bay.
Oakland's golf sits in the rolling hills and reclaimed flatlands of the East Bay, and its three courses cover a surprisingly wide range. Lake Chabot Golf Course is the city's beloved municipal classic, an 18-hole, par-72 layout dating to 1923 that winds through the wooded slopes above the namesake reservoir, famous for its hilly back nine and a long downhill closing hole. Metropolitan Golf Links is the modern counterpoint: a links-style, par-72 stretch built in 2003 with a Johnny Miller and Fred Bliss design, open and breezy beside the bay near the airport. Montclair Golf Course is a compact 9-hole, par-3 walk perfect for quick rounds and new players.
Together they make golf courses in Oakland approachable for every level, from championship distance to a half-hour loop. Golf The Bay compares live tee-time prices across booking systems so you lock the lowest rate on Oakland tee times, whichever East Bay layout you choose.
Oakland has three golf courses, all within the East Bay. They are Lake Chabot Golf Course, an 18-hole par-72 muni from 1923; Metropolitan Golf Links, an 18-hole par-72 links-style track built in 2003; and Montclair Golf Course, a compact 9-hole par-3 layout ideal for short rounds and practice.
Green fees in Oakland vary widely by course, day of week, and time of day, with weekend mornings and prime hours costing the most. The par-3 Montclair plays cheaper than the full 18-hole Lake Chabot and Metropolitan Golf Links. Golf The Bay compares live prices across booking systems so you book the lowest available rate.
Montclair Golf Course is the friendliest pick for beginners. Its 9-hole, par-27 layout is short, walkable, and quick to play, letting new golfers build confidence without committing to a full 18. When you're ready to step up, Lake Chabot offers a forgiving muni experience, while Metropolitan Golf Links provides a longer regulation test.
