El Prado Golf Courses - Butterfield Stage
Rating Snapshot
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.

Good value and course is in good condition.
Only complaint is the ball washers haven’t been put back in service. Some other courses have them working again. The rest of the course is fine.
Nice day & enjoyed play
Enjoyed nice golf .. with join players.
Easy course … good for practice..
Not good
The course was in rough condition. And no signage to guide you, so it's like a scavenger hunt to find the next hole sometimes. Like hole 13. It's across the busy street next to hole 4, but the sign directing you only mentions hole 4, nothing about 13. Won't be going back.
We apologize for the rough condition of the course and the lack of signage. We appreciate your feedback and will work on improving these aspects. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Beautiful day for golf.good day at Buttetfield
Pace was slow, Greens were in good condition. Played Butterfield course...one of the restrooms has water only going to urinals...no water to sink,
Worst course in southern CA
This isn’t hard. This is by far the worst course I’ve ever played. Horrible driving range, no fairways, horrible greens, trash, mounds of dirt and cement randomly everywhere, a septic plant on the back 9.
Top to bottom, just had. Don’t go here

Fun course, not bad for the money.
Fun course, condition could be better. Not bad for the money. Not much difference between the two courses, both in only fair condition overall. cart paths and signage is in poor condition, sometimes hard to know where to play the next hole.
Thank you for your review and feedback. We apologize for any inconveniences you experienced with the course conditions, cart paths, and signage. We appreciate your input and will take it into consideration to improve our facilities.
PRIMOS
MY COUSIN AND I REALLY ENJOYED PLAYING HERE, WE PLAYED THE CHINO COURSE TWICE AND WANT TO RETURN TO PLAY THE BUTTERFIELD COURSE.
marshalls needed badly
The presence of marshals would greatly enhance the course. Pro shop staff could also help in not letting twosomes go out in front of foursomes. Put the twosomes together to speed up play. The marshals could help in keeping the pace of play fast. The fact that sand is STILL missing from the bunkers is another bad point for the course.
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your suggestions regarding the presence of marshals and the organization of groups to improve the pace of play. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the absence of sand in the bunkers.
They just don't care that much
The restrooms are filthy. On the course and at the clubhouse. Carts die all the time. Needs to be marshalled. Got behind a 6 some last week. Been playing there every week and organize/bring a foursome sometimes two and no one asks my name or says hi. Course needs to be mowed more often. Rough can be 10 inches high sometimes. I play because we can always get a tee time on the weekends and it is close to my house. Just wished the management cared a little more and had higher standards. Could be a great place to go, if it was led better.
