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.

This course has great features
It is a great golf course where you can play comfortably.
Course
The fairways are well maintained and very open very good course to olay
Very nice course and layout
Although they had just punched the greens the conditions were really good we thought. Fairways nice, greens will problem be once the level back out from being punched but the traps need work. So avoid them! Haha. The food was really good. Had the Bulgogi chicken and fried rice. We were to play the river course but under the suggestion of the pro shop switched courses. They said it was wide open. We never waited or held anyone up. Really fun day except the heat. Was around 95 out. This was a road trip stop. But we will play it again if it’s on our route in the future.
Prado chino creek.
Great course , always fun.
Greens on chino creek were fast and well manicured.
Fairways are always a tough one. Some days they are soft and some days they are firm .
This day they were very firm.
Pace of play was very slow with people piling up in front and behind us
Ver poor sand traps
I hope the course manager is in the process of changing the sand traps. They are rock hard and impossible to get the club under the ball. A few inches of new sand is needed.
They are putting money into the course and boy does it show
I played this course over 100 times between 2002 and 2023. I have never seen it in anything remotely close to this nice of condition. The green fees have gone up (like everywhere else) but you are getting value for that difference in price. In my opinion they are getting very close to Los Serranos and at a lower price.
Decent Layout and Greens are Fast
Decent Layout and greens are rolling true. The course is in need of maintenance, the rough, the bathrooms and pace of play. Point of reference, I played on a Tuesday at 12:30pm, shouldn't have taken 5hrs to finish a round, we waited on every tee box.
Same problems as 30yrs ago. Dirt paths, dinged up greens and the worst bathrooms on a course ever.
How this place has not fixed any of these issues is perplexing. When u leave tee box on #2 there is a sinkhole thats been there at least a few yrs..
Money over maitenance.
Course Looking Good.
There have been improvements done and in progress to course and looking good. Wish they would put Marshals on the course as pace of play has been horrible the last couple of times out. Course conditions were actually pretty good compared to the pass.
