Sand traps

They are very hard and the grass on the fringe is hardly ever trimmed.

Good Value For Money

El Prado is 5 minutes from my house. Therefore very convenient to play. It's land use rights are extended; so there will be new investment in the course and clubhouse. Stay tuned!

Can Score here

This course is a great walk. The fairways are fairly generous, and the greens are fairly flat. You can score well here, IF you can stay out of the bunkers. Thew bunkers are the biggest shortcoming. They are mostly dirt and VERY thin, You must clip the balls out. A standard bunker explosion shot will bounce of the hard under layer and skip into the ball, sending it flying. Other than that I enjoy the course and the staff

Fun course, not bad for the money.

Fun course, condition could be better. Not bad for the money. Not much difference between the two courses, both in only fair condition overall. cart paths and signage is in poor condition, sometimes hard to know where to play the next hole.

Course is only in fair condition

Course is only in fair condition, lots of areas were unmaintained. Fairways and tee boxes were in fair to poor condition. Greens were okay. Sand traps were unmaintained, many with standing water, sand hard packed.

Butterfield

Nice course, fairways well mowed, greens maintained, good price and friendly staff, only negatives are no working ball washers and the terrible smell of the sewage treatment plant near the 9th hole

Course is in nice shape

Butterfield is always an enjoyable play. Wide fairways with little trouble.
The fairways are in good shape and the rough is finally cut back to normal height.
The pace of play today was terrible. For a Thursday- we were waiting five minutes on every shot. Sadly- El Prado doesn’t have any Marshalls to monitor the pace of play. Not sure where the slow group was- but they backed up the entire course. Ended up being. 5.5 hour round- not fun.
