El Prado Golf Courses - Chino Creek

Took a buddy there to play for his first time. A few of my friends are new golfers and looking to get memberships at a local course. He wanted to try El Prado since he read great things, and it's been a year or so since I last played.

Tee was 107pm. I understand it is a weekend and pace of place might have been slow.

We did not tee until almost 145. Even worse? Played until 6pm and did not finish more than 14 holes. Pace of play was horrendous and random people kept jumping in front of us and joining other groups. There were groups of 5 and 6 playing together and the Marshall did not care. Try to ask some of the people who jumped ahead who they were playing with and then they pretend to not speak English lol.

Appeared someone people had later individual tee times and drove through the course to catch up with their friends to play 5 or even 6 man groups.

Worst pace of play in my life and complete waste of money. Looks like another few year break from Prado at least. Better off playing or getting your membership at Cresta Verde, worse course conditions but at least you'll get to play golf.

The course environment is really terrible. Many areas of the fairway have no grass, making it uneven, muddy, and waterlogged. The grass on the greens is patchy, and the green on hole 7 is only half covered with grass, while the rest is bare mud. The restrooms are filled with a strong urine odor, as pungent and irritating as ammonia.

They overbook the daylights out of this course. The gameplay is so slow and this isn’t the first time. I can appreciate they are looking to make a profit but it has gotten to the point of affecting the entire experience. Also the price for what you get really doesn’t match up. Will look elsewhere for golf.

Played here many years ago and it was good to return. The only course I have played in Orange County that Ive found has grass on the driving range. That is much better for practice. The course is still ok to play. Greens are good as are the bunkers with enough sand to make some shots. People still don't know what a rake is for. Bad golfer manners. Grass in fairways can be a bit sparse but it is winter and much is dormant. Greens were ok and held well. All in all I enjoyed to course and the players I got hooked up with. Will play again.

Hot Deal for $50 @ 10:50 on a Sunday.

Was right at about 5 hours (expected after teeing off 10 min late). Fair conditions all around. Some greens were rougher than others. Overall for $50 on a late morning tee time is not too shabby.

Good value for regular local customers. Especially senior golfers

Always enjoy playing El Prado courses. Greens are usually very nice, firm and fast, and yesterday was no exception. Pace of play at 651 am was fast, never waited for a shot. Another great round of golf in Chino.

Been coming here since early 80s. And since then its basically the same except for the removal of livestock and flies . Finally after at least 15yrs they got some decent carts. Now that this place is charging $70+ to play here I think they should be able to afford some cart paths that are paved . Hole #2 on Creek has a massive sink hole. Both courses were packed and there were at least another 100people on range and putting greens.

Spend the $$.

Took advantage of a Hit Deal. Was able to pay for $29/person

Great value

There are some improvements since I last played here 4 years ago (Haven’t played here due to the poor conditions) and the round was enjoyable. The greens were ok and sometimes fast but inconsistent. Fairways were ok, tee boxes inconsistent as were the bunkers. Overall however the course has in fact improved and is now playable and I can see myself coming back again.

It’s okay about value of the money but restrooms are not useable.

No complaints. Staff was friendly, as they usually are. Course was in good shape for the price paid. Pace was good.

For the price this is a consistently good course.

This is a great course to play this winter.

Many courses are in poor shape at this time of the year. The tee boxes were good. The fairways were great. The greens ere also good recently were punched so they still show that. This takes most of the breaks out of most greens. The pace was perfect. Overall a great morning!!

These people book multiple tee times to play as a group or a tournament of their own type of deal. They're drinking as they play, playing very slowly of course. If the course is going to let them book this way, let them play like it's an actual tournament. Atleast know that there are rules to pace of play. If we ended up playing the last 3 holes, it would've been a 6 hour round. We had to walk out of the course because the "tournament" in front was having a blast drinking their life's away.

Good course and fairly long when it’s cold. Fairways were average, but greens in great shape. Pace of play was super fast. Definitely a re-do.
