El Prado Golf Courses - Chino Creek
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Short winter day
Since I last played here, the flys are gone.
Golf play was ok. I joined 3 other senior golfers for a nice round.
The only down sides were 1: my cart 117 steering is badly worn. Cart had a mind of its own. 2: cart paths were broken concrete or pounded down dirt.
IE gem
Over the years El Prado has gotten a whole lot better thanks to the course up keep! Staff is awesome, friendly and accommodating. I walk this course about 7 miles from the blues. Not a hard walk. Cart are decent and pace of play is good. Pro shop guys are great! Cart ladies are professional and courteous. Price is good to go! Go play prado and tell them Ted sent you.
Chino creek/Butterfield stage
Chino creek is great for distance and newer players. El prado has another 18 hole course called butterfield that is a little more challenging but el prado is a top favorite especially for price.

Course in nice shape.
Chino Creek is a nice layout. The course is fast with winter conditions- but greens are always above average.
Warning: if you haven’t played here recently- they just added real sand to the bunkers- which is a welcome site. But the sand is new- and very fluffy. Every shot into it results in a fried egg lie. Hopefully it packs down a bit over time.
Beware of frost
I have played both 18’s I like this course. The kitchen is one of my favorites, great eats at a fair price. Greg one of the marshals who may not be there anymore but was a great guy. My golf partner and I decided to go back to the place “ Prado” that we have played over A hundred rounds and lost our reservation due to frost? We got there early and had breakfast then proceeded to starter to pay up and was told that they were just starting to send golfers out, but you lost your tee time due to Frost. It was about 20 minutes until my tee time, but Art decided to send out all the golfers that were detained “earlier tee times” and they would all be sent out first??
Holiday Play
Course was crowded. Although the pace was average, we only got in nine holes when the Marshall came and said they were closing the back gate in twenty minutes, preventing us from playing holes 12-14. At that point, it was too crowded to play 15~18, thereby gypping us out of eight holes. Some paid for 18, but only got to play nine. I deserve a refund!

Nice Value Course
I hadn't played here in more than 5 years and remember it been a little rough around the edges. I was pleasantly surprised to see the course in good shape. The greens probably ran around a 9 and were pretty smooth. The fairways for the most part were in good shape with the occasional bare spot. The bunkers had more sand than I was used to, especially for a public course. Use your wedge with the most bounce or else you'll dig and hit your shot heavy. Pace of play was just under 5 hours - to be expected for the day before Thanksgiving. The pro shop staff was very nice and helpful. I look forward to coming back again.

Home
El Prado is my home. The course is on good shape, always room for improvement, but for a muni it’s the best I have seen it in years. The staff is friendly, kind. and accommodating. No hassle with anyone on the course. Pace of play is good 4 hours. Beverage cart staff is awesome and the 19th hole has everything you need. Hit of grass at the range ( no mats ), it’s the only way to practice or warm up. Chipping and putting greens are much better since being punched. The price is right on the round also.
