Rating 71.3

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.

#5

Played Butterfield Stage at 7:00 tee time. I walked and it was a great pace as we played it in 2hrs 40 minutes.

Bunkers were horrible as are most bunkers in So Cal, but the rest of the course was in really good shape. On the par 3 #17 hole from 133 yards I got my 5th Hole in One. So it made it a very special round.

Great Course

Great course. Don’t expect Trump national but it’s a solid course. Great value. Woman maintain greens. You won’t lose too many balls. And the best part of all they have a driving range where you can hit the balls on grass.

GOOD LAYOUT AT REASONABLE PRICE

The Butterfield Stage course is moderately challenging which does require accuracy to score well but has a lot of areas for missed shots. the greens were great, range satisfactory, staff great and course conditions hit and miss with some bare spots and iffy bunker lies. No GPS in carts which are old but good value for the money.

Good course

Overall this was a good open wide course- very forgiving and the greens were big and fast - some random mounds of dirt that was weird. Staff was friendly and the carts worked great.
