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.

After reseeding

Course was not taken care of good enough to play. Grass on fairway is like rough. Green is not even; there are many dirt spots on every green.

Horrible condition

Course is in really bad shape. They should be more honest to the public. Post pictures of the current course conditions. Dry fairways, greens and tee boxes. Debris everywhere. Edges untrimmed etc.. I've been coming here for years and the course has always had its ups and downs but, this by far is the lowest I've seen it, enough to make me never return

Great course layout when kept up.

Today the course was in horrible condition. The tee boxes are all dead grass or dirt. The fairways are dead or dying. Hole #2 has a water leak.

Dried out

Aerification delayed, course probably hadn't been watered in 2 weeks, drives would roll forever (good) but greens wouldn't make a ball mark even if you dropped a ball from an airplane, but given the price, ok I guess.

Poor Greens and Tee box

Majority of tee boxes in which you want to use an iron it is difficult to find grass to hit off of. A lot of the Greens are bumpy and bald. If you just want to get out and play the price is good But the course is a little rough around the edges.

Too neglected

Poor management, in the past I have been asked if I paid or if I have checked in at the club house, very disrespectful woman who I tought she was just an employee but recently I noticed she is the manager. Very worry about customers paying than worry about the course condition.

Yesterday the tee box was very dirty and noticeably neglected with long grass and trash overflowing at 11am, probably trash from the day before, most of the golf ball cleaners are broken.

Winter Rates Conditions Terrible

Fairway hard, dried out and generally in poor condition. Tee boxes mostly dirt. Greens fair to good. Traps fair to good. Don't know what else to say about this course other than that the management just doesn't take care of this course as they should.
