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.

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.

Good for golf
The golf course was in good condition and many of the greens were beautiful. The aeration on the greens has been completed and "healed"
.when our cart developed a problem the employees were quick to respond and we were back in play. The only criticism I would have were the men's restrooms poor water pressure and no papers to dry hands. Suggestion: fill the dispensers on cart BEFORE play..on 17th fareway. My partner and I used All our sand filling many divots that fellow golfers left unfilled(maybe containers did not have sand to fill divots?)..overall a good day
