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
tee boxes on a lot of holes are bare. dead spots in fairways, pick and place ball on grass. greens were ok for the most part. pace of play on back 9 was horrible. skipped 13 to 16. played 17 and 18 and that was it.
Good value!
First time playing this course. Enjoyable round. Would definitely go again. Just wish people would keep their carts away from the greens!

Regular player
I play El Prado regularly. About 2-3 times a week. El Prado is a great place to practice. Both course present some challenges to your game. The fairways and rough need some TLC in some areas, but it just makes you hit more pure shots. I would say that sand is needed badly in the bunkers. That would be my biggest complaint.
They have a policy not to let u play early if you are prepaid. We sat around for 45 minutes while no one was in the first tee.

Monday morning
Arrived early and was able to tee off sooner than our scheduled tee time.
Course is fun and challenging, greens were nice with manageable speed.
Most of the traps were in good condition a few were compacted and hard.
Only issue we had was our cart ran out of power after 14 holes, had to call in for a replacement.
Slow play
My only complaint is the slow play. It took our 3-some 4:45 to complete our round. Two groups ahead of us were 2 holes behind the group they were following. We were hoping a marshall would speed them up. The group of older men didn't even try to speed up. They needed encouragement to play a little faster. I understand that many businesses are understaffed but in a the golf business you need to keep the customers happy to get them to return. I was very disappointed with the pace of play.
The Pride of Chino
The difficulties that come with operating a golf course in Inland Empire, SoCal is no joke, yet the team at El Prado seems to keep working hard to present a quality product. Although it might not look like Augusta, it’s a beautiful track that keeps true to golf. No Gimmicky holes, no blind shot overlaps, just a classic and forgiving golf course. Definitely a course you can play multiple times a week!
