El Prado Golf Courses - Butterfield Stage

We did not go and we were unable to get a refund. 😟

Washes and water features are a great obstacle to play around. Grass conditions had some issues. Overall not a bad experience

The course is in bad shape. There is an ungodly smell because the entire area used to be dairy farms. And we got stuck behind a sixome that slowed everything down. A marshall saw them but didn't say anything.

They are punching the course, one closed yesterday. Range closed, has been for weeks. Course is soft, no run. Go back when it recovers

Honestly, this course and its sister course (Chino Creek), are both wonderful tests of golf. I enjoyed the layout of the Butterfield Stage course being open with less OB, which lead to more risk-taking and no lost balls. Great for the value, even if they make you pair up for carts (Luckily, the tee time was early and I got my own) and if you get out first thing on a weekday or even the weekend, you'll be finished in 2-3 hours. One of my only complaints was that there wasn't a starter on either side which lead to me teeing off after another group with a tee time after mine. Also, the 18th green felt like I was putting on a plinko machine with all the dead grass. Additionally, if I didn't have the 18Birdies GPS open while I was playing, I would have gotten lost on trying to find the next tee since there are branching paths after almost every hole. So many times to get to the next hole, it would take forever because there are no signs for where the next hole is. But overall it's a good value for a course that rivals the value of its neighbor, Los Serranos.

This is one of my favorite courses- normally !!
Granted- we have had a lot of recent rain- but the fairways were not damp or mushy. The grass in the fairways has not been mowed in a long time. Much of the fairways grass was 1-3” long. Drives got no roll whatsoever- and hitting the 2nd shot was like hitting out of the rough. Very frustrating when the best lies were on the trampled down cart paths !!!
A little warning before paying full price would have been appreciated.

Played on Monday 2/12/24 started at 10:15am and ended at 3:00pm (4 hours 45 minutes)

I feel like the course is still recovering from all the rain that fell in the past couple of weeks. There were parts of the course that were muddy. And some of the bridges to get across the river passing through the course are broken. It was cart path only as they were trying to keep the fairways in order. The staff was super friendly and the hot dogs were 🔥🔥🔥.

Will definitely come back and play again in the future!

1st time in 20 years playing El Prado.
Greens were OK but not consistent, Tee Boxes good, fairways good, rough Ok, Bunkers need to new sand - poor. Pace of Play - POOR! Needs more signs for directions, and better restrooms.

This course sits in a area that collects lots of water during the rainy season. Along with that comes a flood channel that runs in many areas of the course. The tees boxes are nice, and the greens are easy to stick and easy to roll puts on. In between is a junk range, terrible carts, poor yardage markers, and hard as clay bunkers.

I've only played this course 1 time about 15 years ago. I was able to get a great deal on Golfnow.com. I was pleasantly surprised on how well the course was. The greens were immaculate, and the fairways were in very good condition. The round took 4 1/2 hours to play. I will definitely be returning.
