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.

Golf carts need upgrade

Their golf carts are pre-historic! They are beat up and dirty. My cart broke down several times due to poor contact of the key switch.

Fairways are lush with few bare spots.

Chino Creek is in very good shape. Fairways are lush with few bare spots. Rough has finally been able to be mowed down to a playable level. Greens are receptive like always.

Solid Course for the Money

As the title says, it’s solid for the money. It’s probably one of the only courses in so cal that’s over 6000 and you can get on for around $40. Does it smell like cow poop out there? Yeah. Is the course muddy in areas? Yeah. Do you hear gun fire from the shooting range? Yup. But it’s one of the only course where you can hit off grass from the range.

Pace of play was a little rough this time around, but we only had to wait on the back 9 and it wasn’t as bad as other places I’ve played.

It was a mediocre experience.

Layout was very confusing, especially with holes side by side given the two 18 holes they have. If ball lands in rough, very hard to find. Cart died and had to get a replacement on the fifth hole. Smells like manure quite a bit.

Good round at good price

This course is not the best manicured or the best layout, but you get what you pay for at bare minimum. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, and the parking is more than ample. I recommend this course.
