Chino farmland

Right next to a water treatment plant, this golf course is infested with flies. the day we played it was raining but it didn’t stop the flies from swarming the cart and our clubs. Overhead on every other hole are large electrical towers with wires spanning the whole course. And as the rain fell you could hear the sizzling of the rain as it hit the power lines. The course greens were well kept as for the course as a whole I wouldn’t return to play here.

Great day to play 18 holes in Chino, CA.

Played Chino Creek at El Prado. Course was in excellent shape throughout. Fairways and greens were in excellent condition and made for a great day to play 18 holes. Will definitely come back to play again!

Good course

Chino Creek is very good course.
But cart path need to fix or need to be improved.
Too much dust and bumpy.

Also you need to clean golf carts with caution

Not Busy for Saturday

Went out first this morning. We were surprised that there were no golfers on the bac nine.
So we flew through and did the round in 2.5 hours. The conditions were really great and the weather was perfect. Thank you El Prado!

Fairways in nice shape

The course is still in very good shape. Fairways are pretty full with few bald spots- even after the extended heat wave. Rough is mostly consistent. Greens are good like they always are.

3.5 stars overall (Chino Creek)

I'll try and keep it simple.

1. Generally as a course 3.5 stars
2. Pace of play was excellent due to it not being busy. We finished in about 3 hours 45 min.
3. Course conditions were sub par compared to the courses around the area. Most tee boxes were fair. Most of the fairways were fair to good. All greens were fair. Greens rolled at about a 7-7.5. tall and thick. Understandable to protect them from the heat but still a bit too soft and slow. Greens should roll at least 9. Practice greens (8.5) did NOT match course greens.
4. Staff interaction was minimal and no cart girl.
5. I think the course was fun and would be excellent with better conditions.
6. Carts were poor. They did the job, but squeaky and loose steering wheel. Very harsh ride. I wouldn't trust a magnetic range finder to stay on.

I would only play here again when there is a hot deal. Full price rounds are not worth in my opinion unless course conditions improve. Currently it's a $45 or less value course.

Best Conditions of the Summer

We played at 5:30 am and were the first ones out. Thank you to the green’s keepers for making the course so beautiful this summer. We had a great time and we’re through in 2 hours and 30 minutes. Congrats to the whole staff of El Prado Chino Creek!!

Walked

Greens and fairways are in good shape

Always like playing either course at El Prado early am. Most of the time I can get in a 3-3.5 hr round, even when I’m walking and carrying my bag. Course is in great summer shape, very playable. Greens were rolling well.

Awesome golf on a hot day

No muddy puddles like I've seen in the past. No flies or mosquitos. I lucked out I guess it was awesome instead of medicore. The bunkers could have been better. I prefer Chino Creek over Butterfield btw. Less than 4.5 hours.

Course is in very good condition

This is always a fun track- with enough challenges to keep it interesting. The fairways are in very good condition. The greens are always top notch and roll true.
The pace of play was very good today- done in just under 4 hours !!

Excellent layout

Haven't played out here in a while, but my friend picked over 3 other possible courses. Friendly accommodating staff and layout of the course didn't disappoint. The pace of play on the front was average but had about a 30 min. wait at the turn and then the pace was below avg the rest of the way. Greens overall were good but slow. Friend got a hot dog and coke at the turn and the way he ate it, he liked it or was very hungry. Temps got a little warm strarting at ten being in low 80's and finishing about 4 1/2 hrs later at 94. Still an overall good day, and do plan to play here again.
