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.

Staff
The counter staff Aaron is very friendly .will visit again.
Bad conditions
Butterfield burnt out, no sand in bunkers, greens ok.
Horrible
We were 9 course's in and we got hungry there was a food bar so we got some lunch ate it 20 minutes later we came back went to course 10 and this dude was a marshal who was very rude said your in the way of the junior golfing tournament which we weren’t so we asked where do we go and he laughed at us and said you need to get off the golf course but we got a 18 hole and we didn’t even get a refund so overall was a horrible experience
Good variety of holes.
Middle of fairway locations were fine but if not many areas were very ragged. I would still play this course again as the value for the money is good.
Butterfield Stage
I always enjoy playing this course! I enjoy the layout and the pace of play is always very good especially compared to Chino Creek! I would definitely recommend this course!
Good day of Golf
given pace of play, course conditions, staff, & amenities this a great course for a practice round.
actually two great courses for practice, driving range, food drink... great day!
enjoyed our day on the course
We've now played both courses at Le Prado. enjoyed both rounds.
Nice course
Butterfield Stage was a nice challenging course. Not too easy and not too difficult. We’ll definitely be back!
Greens and fairways are in good shape
I play here every week. Great afternoon rates. I like the course because it's fair, not tricked up. Conditions are good with better mowing and getting better each week. As a Senior it's enjoyable and walkable. Greens are Med fast and accept approach shots into the green real well.
Ehhhhh
Haven’t played this course in a while. Course conditions were alright but not great. The course was so packed that we had to wait 15 to 20 minutes before we even got a cart. Which put us way past our tee time. Pace of play was horrendous, I understand that people are trying to get into golf. But if you’re not that good play the proper tee box. And I forgot how bad the smell of death…… in the air across the entire course was. Probably not revisiting.
