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.

Rainny day
Only able to play few holes and still pouring but no refund
Return to Chino creek
It has been awhile since I've been out to Chino to play but I was pleased with the trip to Chino creek. I played Butterfield stage course and I throughly enjoyed it. The greens were very nice and the tee boxes were very flat. I will return to play again.
A very hot day and considering our 3 year drought the course is in pretty good condition...
No idea what happened to this course
The course condition is the worst it's ever been. The fairways are mostly dirt patches. One of the worst golf courses I've ever played.
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
Tree line fairways with OB. Also a long course. Very challenging. Also had some elevation changes.
Chino creek
Chino creek is funner track than Butterfield, better overall conditions and layout..hot day so not much ppl done in 3hrs. Will def. Play again!t
Good for the price - sad for the water restrictions
Overall, great value. $60 for a cart before noon on a weekend is a good deal if you ask me. Everywhere has had to ration water given the drought and the course is no exception. Some dirt patches all over the course but what can they do, it’s clear they’re prioritizing the greens over fairways so I didn’t mind. Greens were fast but very soft, some were beat up but it’s from people not fixing ball marks.
Pace was about 4.5 hours with a very inexperienced group ahead but it was also 104 when we played so expected to be a bit slower than 4 hours. Grass range is always a plus no matter how pure (I’d say 7/10).
Great experiences here on both courses so highly recommend
Slow pace of play
Slow pace of play, two some in front did not offer to play through even though there is one full hole open! That is fine, I end up team up with another single player
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!
Wont play it ever
I have traveled around the US in the pass 15 years and this course has to be the worst I've ever played. The t-box and fairways were in bad condition, soaked in some areas and no grass in some other areas. Plus, the greens had some growth going on and it made it bad for putting. Then to top it off, the starters let two groups jump in front of us on hole #10. That slowed our play by 10 minutes, so it took an extra 30 minutes to finish.

Weekend Golf
The course played well, just very slow. Group in front of us would hit 2 balls each off the tee - cumulative yardage about 100. Then go to find and slowly make their way down the fairway. The group in front of them wasn't much better. We actually skipped 2 holes and 3 groups to find an open hole and played from there.
Best it's ever been
Course is in better shape then anytime in the past. Only problem is pace of place. This round was brutal. No Marshall to keep pace. 4 groups packed at 10. Waited on every shot in the back.
