Type Public
Par 72
Length 6858 yards
Slope 126
Rating 72.5

El Prado Golf Course in Chino offers two 18-hole courses, Chino creek and Butterfield Stage. Chino Creek is the longer of the two at 6,858 yards from the back tees. It is also considered more challenging but both are player friendly enough to appeal to all skill levels. As its name would imply, the Chino Creek runs along the entire length of the golf course. You find water in several different forms throughout the course including lakes and meandering streams. The layout is spread across rolling terrain with elevation changes that range from subtle to dramatic. Several of the holes begin from elevated tees and it's likely you'll face more than one uphill battle. Trees and bunkers also come into play but the fairways are wide and forgiving. It's not an overly difficult golf course but beginners can also try the shorter and less challenging Butterfield Stage Course.

Greens are recovering

The greens on Chino were recently punched. So the recovery time is about two weeks to a month and it has been about a week That being considered they are recovering nicely. But the tee boxes are in bad shape. They need to be worked over and re seeded and moved to a different spot while they’re being worked on. The pace of play was excellent because it was early in the morning. The fairways are nice shape and the greens are recovering nicely. Thank you.

Put me with Really Slow Players

The starter put me in a threesome with 3 persons Also who was a 20 handicap and another person who was a 30 handicap and it was not at all enjoyable. Please ask the players at least a preliminary question as to do they know how to play before you put a good player with some really slow players. I quit after 9 because it was not fun. Just let me play alone or with a single digit handicapper.

Just OK

Staff is awesome, but the course is just ok.. Pace of play was awful considering almost every group I saw ahead of me was a twosome. 5 hours to play as a single and mostly twosomes in front of me as far as I could see. MOST of them seemed to have NO concept of how to keep on pace. They parked their carts 50 feet to 150 feet in front of greens THEN they went to chip and or putt to finish the hole with their carts still parked in front of the green! SO, they had to pick up their ball then walk back toward me then drive to next hole! COMMON SENSE would tell you that that is a horrible waste of EVERYBODY'S time.

Greens are very good. Traps are OK but MANY of the fairways SUCK!

This is NOT a bad course but there are many in this price range that are better.
