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.

Good layout w/decent greens
Had a 12:50 t-time and got off at about 1:10, had to wait on every hole but did get finished before dark. Best part of the day was they put me with a twosome and another single and all were very compatible and the weather was nearly perfect so made for a good day of golf.

Greens are in great shape
I was impressed with the conditions of the fairways and greens, I played here before and this time was, by far the best conditions it has ever been.
Great way to start the year
Booked this round last minute and although I have played here many times.... I was pleasantly surprised on the overall course conditions. The course is well maintained this time around and I would play here again sooner rather then later based off the good course conditions. The pros shop staff was cool and let me out early and having such good conditions helped in shooting a great round. Great value at $59 compared to other local courses and always a fun time.
Nice forgiving course for working on your game
Course is in decent shape considering it’s winter. Greens are fair and not particularly difficult. Most holes are pretty wide open and bunkers are in much better shape than they were a decade ago when I last played here. No complaints about pace of play, although I did have one of the earlier tee times so hard to say (it was also during a holiday week). Rates were higher than usual but usually they are reasonable, maybe a tad bit pricier than you would want from a course of this caliber. It’s definitely one of the less challenging courses in the inland empire so great for high handicappers like myself to work on game improvement without getting demoralized if you miss too far left or right.

Course in Good Shape
We played at 6:43 the first time of the day. The starter was nice to allow my wife to play also.
It was NOT busy even though they were charging holiday rates. We finished in under 3 hours. There was one group ahead of us and one group behind. The group behind was very slow.
The greens were in really good shape.
Rude and lazy staff, absolutely insufferable
The guys at the pro shop are rude. Don’t greet you and just dog you on entrance. Did not feel welcome from the get go. Also, when I got my cart there was cigar ash in the center. When I asked to change my cart, they allowed and I ask the guy at the pro shop if he could change my cart number to the new cart assigned on the sign off form. He said “oh yeah sure” with the most unconvincing look. Lo and behold I didn’t believe he would do it, I go in 10min later to the pro shop and find my old cart number to my name on the sign off form. I scratch off the old cart number and put my new cart number 140. Just shows they have rude and lazy staff overall. Will be last visit as management has gone downhill.

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.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for the issues you experienced with the steering of the cart and the condition of the cart paths. We appreciate your feedback and will make sure to address these concerns.
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.
