About
Junior National Golf Club (formerly known as Tres Rios Golf Course at Estrella Mountain Park and Estrella Mountain Golf Course) is rich with dense forestry including eucalyptus, mesquite, and pine trees as well as cottonwoods. The course has a parkland-style layout with rolling fairways lined with trees and undulating greens that are medium-sized and fast. To add more challenge to the golf course, water hazards and bunkers come into play on several holes. The par-4 seventh hole is considered the most difficult driving hole on the course. There are stately trees off the tee and the second shot is to a narrow sloping green. Junior National Golf Club features multiple tee boxes for a variety of different golfing options.

Look elsewhere
You can do much better than this course. The greens were the only saving grace, they were quick. The holes are poorly cut and bushy, the fairways, tee blocks are like a pasture. Do yourself a favor and don’t make the mistake we did.
Bit of a drive but great price
Course was in decent shape. Fairways were grass. Off fairways, good luck! Couple of the greens were less than perfect, but for the price, I think it is a good value.
Hi, thank you for the four-star review! We are glad that you still had a good round of golf out there. We'll see you again soon.
Not great
We played this course 2 years ago and was good value for money at that time.. Course has gone down hill since we were here last. Greens, tees, bunkers and fairways not in good shape. We would rather spend a few more bucks and play something more decent.
Hi Darlene, we are sorry that you didn't have a good time. We are currently working to improve the course as we speak. Your feedback is important to us, and we hope that you will consider coming back in the future.
Course has died...
This course used to be a cheap, enjoyable, round of golf... now every bit of the course is terrible including the staff. Tee boxes were either dead or un-mowed. The fairway was spotty at best. And the greens were painted blue-green and had repaired spots full of sand.
Hi Jason, we are sorry to hear you had a bad experience. We are working hard every day to improve the course. You'll see very soon that the course will be restored to its prime condition. We hope you'll come back again soon.
The starter is very friendly and the other staff at the course that we had contact with were wonderful. The couple we golfed with were great. The pace of play was similar to other golf courses. The course is in rough condition. The fairways are extremely dry and I’m not sure what has happened with the greens but they are terrible. They are dry, patchy, and have bumps in them. Even with the great staff and inexpensive cost of the round I would not recommend this course.
Hi Marly, we are so sorry that the course experience was not the same as with our staff. We have had some rough weather that has made the course into less than desirable conditions. We are working to restore it to prime shape, so please give us another try in the near future. Your feedback is much appreciated.
Hi Jim, thank you for the three stars. We hope that you had a good time with us the other day. We'll see you again soon.
Horrible hard under watered
Horrible hard under watered course. No Marshall to speed up slow players
Hi, we are sorry that you didn't have a good time. We are working to improve the course and it will be restored to its prime shape soon. We appreciate your patience and we hope that you will consider coming back.
Needs Work
Course is in poor condition. Greens are in rough shape and hard. Fairways are hard with not much grass on them.
I played this course two years ago and it was in much better shape then.
Pace of play was okay on the front nine but very slow on the back. Total round took almost 5 hours.
Hi, we are sorry to hear that. We are working diligently every day to improve the course. We appreciate your patience during this time! Hope to see you again in the near future.
Below average.sorry but priced accordingly
I have played this course before however regret to give it an below average rating due mainly to course conditions specifically the greens were in poor shape .pace of play was ok as price for play was cheap by comparison.layout is good this course has potential but needs lots of work.
Hi, thank you for the three stars. We are aware that the course does need work, but we are happy to let you know that the course will be restored to prime condition soon. With our new superintendent and continued dedication of our staff, we are confident that your next review will be better.
Tres Rios
Got an e mail saying they had hired a new course supernatant. Noting has changed. not one person working on the course, no water being put anywhere. . When do they ever.move some tees? Hoping to see a little improvement!!!!
Hi, we are sorry to hear that you aren't seeing the improvements, but change does take time and we are working hard to improve the course despite what you are currently seeing. We appreciate your patience and we'll have the course restored as soon as possible. Thank you for your feedback.
Reflector Tape too much to ask??
Even with a cool and wet “winter” the course is ridiculously dry and bare. That seems to be a given so...
Can you at least put reflective tape on the flags so I can get an accurate distance??? Three flags were broken anyway. Can’t imagine that costs more than $25 to do.
Hi Al, thank you for the four-star review! We are happy that you had a good time at Tres Rios Golf Course the other day. We'll see you again soon. #tresriosgcaz
Fun day.
Even though it was busy, the pace of play was good. It was a very good day for golf overall.
We will be playing the course again on Friday March 1st.
Hi, thank you for the five-star review! We are thrilled that you had an enjoyable round of golf with us the other day. We'll see you again soon! #tresriosgcaz
Not Worth It
Simply not worth it. It seems like a great price but you get what you pay for. Horrible customer service from Lori the GM, not promising if that's how the leadership talks to and treats customers. Horrible course management. Horrible course conditions from the tee box to the greens. I would think they have access to plenty of water with all the broken sprinklers flooding in several areas throughout the entire track but that's not the case. Don't bother making the trip. Go check out Falcon. They are the same price point, friendlier, better shape and more convenient.
Hi, we are so sorry that you felt this way. Here is an update from Lori: "The winter has been cold and rainy, but we wanted to take a moment and let you know all the good things going on at the course. Tres Rios is pleased to let you know that we hired a Superintendent and he has been doing a great job in his first few weeks. The course has taken a beating with all the rain and storms in October during the overseeding process. We are working diligently every day to make the course better. The areas we are improving on is the irrigation system, each day we fix more of the leaking sprinklers and old pipes. Many of you know that I have always loved being at Tres Rios! I promise that we will keep working hard for all of you ! We will be back in the best of conditions very soon! So, in the meantime, enjoy the Happy Hour half off range balls 11am-1pm, the great rates, the amazing sub sandwiches and my wonderful staff!" We hope this will provide some information regarding the conditions. We hope to see you again in the future.
Course with great potential
Wow good layout, no houses and middle of nowhere. Obviously not well managed and very poorly maintained. Nonetheless pretty busy with high handicap players. The greens were in very poor condition and it was like putting on a worn carpet. However, with long carry off the t and well designed fairways this place could be great.
Hi, we appreciate your feedback. We are making improvements to the course, so stay tuned! We want to return it to its optimal condition, but it will take some time. Your feedback is always very important to us. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Good value, great fairways and average greens.
Pace of play was very slow. Had to wait on nearly every shot, 5.5 hrs is a long round. But I was joined up with some friendly people and the laughs were frequent and fun. The greens needed some help but overall very playable. The fairways are in excellent condition as long as you stayed on the short grass.
Hi, thank you for the four stars! We are glad that you had an enjoyable round with your group! Your feedback is important to us, and we hope to see you again soon.

this course continues to erode . . Other than rain there dose not seem to have any water put on it. .There was not an overused put on it either. It is overpriced at best.
Hi, we are sorry that you had a poor experience with us the other day. The recent weather has not helped us one bit here, but we are working to improve the course. We hope to see you again soon.
Cheap, but ...
Tres Rios is generally a great local course with great pricing. Unfortunately, it's not even worth the great pricing any more. The fairways are dead AND painted green. The sand traps are mud traps and the greens are mostly seed.
I would rate the course a 3 out of 10 right now.
Hi, we are so sorry to hear that you didn't have a good time with us the other day. We are continuing to make improvements to the course and we hope that you will stop by soon.
