El Prado Golf Courses - Chino Creek
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.

Too slow
Pace of play was too slow, cart patch’s are bumpy and chopped up and not enough signs or markers to know where things are located. Never play here again
We came back
After a frost delay that left us with no tee time due to players waiting 2+ hours and management canceling my 8:45 tee time for players that didn’t look at the weather and management thinking we would wait for them to all go first we had to give them another try. It took 3 years to forgive the idiot in charge the 36 hole course actually grew some grass and it was a great day with our stop at the cafeteria that was long overdue with great food. Hopefully that fool was fired and we will give the Butterfield course a look next time…
Fairqays and greens decent shape, its everyrhing elae around tuere that is below avg.
Dirt cart paths were soaked and basically just a muddy mess. My ahoes were covered in mud by end of 2nd hole.
Bathrooms on course horrrible, if ur a lady hold it til 9 or 18.. And beware of rate change as they tries get me for higher rate that i booked 2wks b4 my round.
Need a Marshal
Only got thru 13 holes in 5 hours and had to bail for work. Sooooo slow and no marshals speeding things up.
Need Marshall doing Job and Staff
Played Saturday afternoon and took 1 hour to play first 3 hole due to SLOW play of golfers 4 some - sharing bag and no sense of golf edict- had Marshall stop and actually take a swing with person in my group and told to talk to group in front of us but did not but complain about doing the Marshall job. Why are you even there ? Had extra player join us on 8th hole because part of local college team that played there but didn’t have tee time. GM is coach so said can do whatever- might want to look at the details of staff working. Beware
Great greens
The course was in good shape. Several creeks made it challenging and aesthetically pleasing.
Chef Love
Course in good shape, greens roll true. Pace of play a little slower than normal.
Angry Man
I’ve played El Prado several times but this is only my second time playing Chino Creek. The layout wasn’t very long but still challenging. Tee boxes and fairways were in great shape. A couple of the greens were a bit shaggy but nothing to complain about. My only complaint was Angry Man. Random golfer I got paired with started off cursing himself on the 3rd hole and got progressively worse from there. Throwing clubs and his push cart. He finally left after hole 13/14, whatever was the second par 3 on the back. Really nice course and I didn’t shoot that band even on a windy SoCal day!
Couse in good shape
Would play again. But they need to space out play a little better
Good conditions
The Chino Creek side was in surprisingly great shape this time around. The fairways were much greener than usual, and the greens were firm and well-maintained. You can definitely tell some TLC has been put into the course recently—especially around the greens.
I’ve honestly avoided this course in the past due to its condition, but this visit changed my perspective. Overall, it turned into a really enjoyable day out there. Hopefully they keep moving in this positive direction and continue making improvements.
The driving range was also looking great—lush and green—and it’s one of the few spots where you can still hit off real grass, which is a huge plus in my book.
Keep it up, Prado! Great job.
