Length 6858 yards
Slope 126
Rating 72.5

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…

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

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!

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.
