El Prado Golf Courses - Butterfield Stage
About
El Prado Golf Course boasts two different 18-hole courses: Butterfield Stage and Chino Creek. Early in California's statehood, stagecoaches would make the 2,700 mile trek from St. Louis to San Francisco. The property used to be a stop on this trail, which is where the Butterfield Stage Course gets its name. It's the shorter of the two courses at 6,568 yards from the back tees. The course is flatter and more forgiving than Chino Creek, but it still has a fair amount of challenges that will test your skills. The layout has generous fairways, but watch out for the strategically placed bunkers lurking along the large, gently undulating greens. Water hazards come into play on several holes as well. The wide open nature of the course can be forgiving but at the same time it will put your round at the mercy of the prevailing winds.

Golfer Reviews
Bathrooms under par
Bathrooms typically are not clean. Sometimes water not working.
They need do- over, remake,
Fun track
Course conditions were good. Greens were rolling at a medium speed. Fairways and tee boxes were in good condition. I played in the morning after the men’s league. They took forever until around hole 14. That’s when they all stopped playing and I zoomed through the rest of the holes after that. All in all, I like to switch up from playing chino creek all the time and move over to this side to mix it up.
Bang For The Buck
This place is always with the trip. Good bang for the buck and they know how to get ppl in and out. The cart girls were in top of it and greens were true.
Gray value and play
Butterfield was great condition on the fairways and greens. Bunkers were more packed dirt but it actually helped getting out somewhat. Will be back.
Don’t hit in the bunkers
I’ve been playing here for years now and seen the improvements that they be doing. Fairways and greens are so much better than in the past. Only problem, the bunkers are hard pan.
El Prado
This is not a bad layout but course conditions and distractions from trucks and tractors all over the place made for a pretty distracting round of golf. The good ? friendly staff, solid layout and decent greens. The bad? Tractors and pick up trucks moving all over the course. All this during a late morning, early afternoon round. Cart paths were a minefield as well.
Place could be really good if they took better care of paths and grounds in general. Solid layout is challenging.
