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.

Great Course!!!
Rates are reasonable. Staff is friendly and helpful. Considering the cost, courses are in great shape. Pace of play is pretty good(hit a wall on 17, prior to that almost no waiting, not sure what happened on 17). I didn't buy anything this round but in the past the food from the snack bar is very good and reasonably priced. Lots of parking.
Overall during this round and for the last year or so I've been playing these course regularly I haven't had any memorable complaints or issues and I always look forward to playing these courses. Hope they keep up the good work!!!
El Prado is a very good Option
Very playable, easy to get tee times,, greens are usually in great shape, and great course to walk.
Need to improve cart path.
If you can improve cart path your courses level will be highly increased.
If you’re playing a round and plan to eat a hot dog at the turn: please read
Course was overall in good condition and greens were good too. Pace actually flowed well but when it came to the turn and we wanted to just order hot dogs, it nearly took like 20 minutes we had to let a couple groups pass so we wouldn’t hold up the pace. The groups that passed us frequently played at El Prado and they said we need to call the snack shop like at the 7th, 8th hole and order ahead - yikes!!!
So if you plan on eating at the turn, get the number to the snack shop and take a pic of the menu and call in your order like at the 7th or 8th hole - they do cook the food well, toast the buns, they split the dog and make sure it’s cooked thoroughly - so I am grateful for the care - so I’m just giving y’all a heads up - lol, the hot dogs are delicious but takes a good minute for them to cook it lol
Good time to play but…
Had a fun round today on the Chino Creek course and the pace picked up after the second hole. Course is in great condition for this time of season - got some barren spots here and there but the fairways are in good condition and the greens I’d say are in good condition, felt like medium firm so you can be aggressive on your chips. And rolled at a nice speed, not slow nor fast.
Only thing I can strongly recommend is that before you tee off, see if you and your group are going to eat some food at the turn - if so, take a pic of the menu at the snack bar and get the number - call your order in when you get to the 8th hole, trust me.
Best Conditions in Months
We played first thing in the morning as a twosome. The conditions were absolutely fantastic. The tee boxes were plush the fairways were more plush than usual and the greens were fantastic. The pace was great in the entire day was a fantastic perfect 10. Thank you El Prado for keeping high standards on this great golf course.
5 1/2 hours!
The course was in good condition, greens were tight, cool layout, but groups of 6 on tee box?! Give me a break. Almost 6 hours to finish 18 holes. This place was backed up big time. I won’t be returning unfortunately 95% hack job players that should be at top golf come here and ruin the game for actual players
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting El Prado Golf Courses - Chino Creek, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Practice your chipping , Fast Greens.
Fun course, worth every penny. Can become very challenging very fast. Worst score of my life!
Good pace of play on a weekend….
I played the Chino Creek course on a Sunday around 230p.
Course was in good shape. Played in 4.25 hours. Staff was friendly. No complaints and I look forward to playing this course again.
