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.

Staff service needs improvement
The kids working the pro shop needs to be more professional. I had to ask several times for a cart key even though my tee time was 5 minutes away. Sent me outside then back inside. Little frustrated
Turned out nice
We were a little worried that the recent rains may have wrecked the course, but It was in great shape, maybe puddles on the cart paths. We were also chasing the incoming rain scheduled for that day, but it never showed up. We did have to wear jackets for the day.
FYI: The price for a round of golf went up to $66.
Great
I went on a day rain was expected. There were a lot of cancelations. It was great, weather was perfect and very few people were there.
GREAT VALUE COURSE IN IE
Had a Saturday tee time at 130pm. For winter golf, the conditions were pretty decent, but for some holes had difficulty distinguishing between the edges of the fairway and the beginning of the rough. Good lengthy layout from the tips with a fair amount of obstacles and elevation changes to greens that are not flat but not super difficult either.
The driving range appeared to be closed due to wet conditions but had two different putting greens to get dialed in before the round. The staff was super helpful. I did notice the marshall ended up closing and locking the gate to a back part of the course before darkness despite groups behind us not reaching them yet with some daylight remaining which seemed concerning.
Overall, not the highest quality course in terms of maintenance but a very solid bargain course I'd be willing to play again👍
Fun day at El Prado
The course was in good shape. I plan on playing there again. The golf cart worked well but is showing it's age. While it would have been nice to have GPS in the cart, we had brought our own so it wasn't that big of deal. At least with no GPS we didn't have to fight with the Geofence constantly going off in places it did not need to.

Golfing Prado
It’s a fun course but it is winter so course conditions were fair
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize if the course conditions were not up to your expectations during the winter season. We appreciate your feedback and hope you still had an enjoyable experience.
Better-than-expected course
Greens were in an excellent condition, way better than what you would expect for the low price you pay. Fairways and cart paths need more investment. Overall, OK course to practice.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that you found our greens to be in excellent condition. We apologize if the fairways and cart paths did not meet your expectations, and will take your comments into consideration for future improvements.
Its an affordable price
It is what it is. For the price its not going to be great. El Prado is not trying to gouge like other courses. Its worth supporting..
Course in good condition
The course is in good shape for the winter. Very few bald spots and the bunkers have new sand.
Greens are top notch like always.
Good value golf course
Played Chino Creek 18 hole course. Pace of play wasn’t too bad, but for a Thursday still really packed. Course just had a lot of random holes that were marked with flags making it confusing as it was my first time there. Fairways weren’t that well maintained I was on the fairway at times and I was in dried grass or dirt. But I mean you get what you pay for course was $42 a person riding for 11:06 tee time. Come for the value and just have fun.

We appreciate your understanding that our course offers a good value for the price and hope you still had fun playing.
Best Bang-for-the-Buck in OC/San Bernadino
Both El Prado courses are a little rough around the edges (and this starts with a parking lot that needs repaving), with various bare patches around the fairways and some wild overgrown areas, but the bunkers, greens (and immediate surroundings), and tee boxes are in good condition.
Two interesting layouts and some challenging holes make this the best bang-for-buck course I play in Orange County / San Bernadino / Inland Empire. Walkers pay only $27 w/ Twilight starting at 12PM!
Hidden Gem.
Nice place good pace of play will be back for sure.
