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.

Some changes need to be made
The course is fun to play but needs some changes to attract more players or to be able to charge more . First thing the flags are all the same color therefore you don't know if the hole is in front or at the back of the green , also the bunkers need sand.
Nice course
It's in good shape greens are good and fast
Need yardage marker but good for the money
They need a marshall to keep a steady pace. we waited 10 min every hole
Sunday stroll
Greens, tees and fairways in great shape. Wish they had intermediate rough for 8 to 10 feet around fairways
Going downhill
I have played this course quite a few times. This may be the last. It is a decently taken care of course. decent staff.
This is the second time the pace was so behind, service terrible and below par.
Took us almost 5 hours to play, no mention that they dont even have a cart girl on a saturday, and Manager snarked at us for asking for a cooler at the 10th hole. Asking why we didnt grab our own cooler at the beginning as if that was expected and the norm. No marshal to control the pace.
Extremely dissapointed in how this course has been running this past year. which is so sad because we live so close and it is in a nice area.
Slow play
Tres Rios is a fun course for the money but the pace of play was horrible. 3 hours to play 9 holes.
I have never seen this course in such great shape. Green held and roiled fast and true
Management has put a lot of money in getting the course in good shspe
Day before holiday SLOW PLAY
The course was in very good condition. From the time we walked up, everybody on the staff was helpful and friendly.
The pin placements lead to slower play on a day when folks that probably only play once or twice a year are out there. I'm the worse putter I know, so I don't waste a lot of time, but there were a couple times the group in front of us spent close to 10 minutes on the green. A marshal instead of a greeter, could have reduced on 4 3/4 hour round. I'd play there again.
Not great value for the money
This course could be so much better. Two things were missing which made the round frustrating. There are very few yardage markers so you must have GPS to find out yardage distances, I don't have one. There is little to no sand in the traps, in fact grass is growing in some of them. On a positive note the pace of play was slightly over 4 hours and it is situated in a location that has some very scenic views. Lots of other courses around in the same price range so I won't be returning here.
Good value
The course was in good playing condition
from tee to green. The pin placements
we’re very difficult but also challenging
Great $ deal at a good course.
If you need to improve your game or just want to play without breaking the bank, this is your place. The thing I like most about this course is there's no houses to accidentally hit on an errant shot.
This course is always well-maintained and provides just enough challenge to make it fun .
much improved
Much improved fairways and greens, great value for the cost and really enjoy the setting of the course against the Estrella foothills...kudos for the improvements made!
Getting better
Course is improving over the last year . Greens are much better tee boxes are better. Need to cover bald spots with grass in between fairways. Beer prices are still to high .
Nice but slow
The course is in good shape. It is wide open so it is very easy to find stay balls. The pace is slow as the course was packed with people. Overall, enjoyable golf and the other patrons were friendly.
Nice course for the money. Could use a beverage cart on the course. Greens were in great shape
Continues to Improve
Course is in the best shape ever. They are removing the dead trees. New flags and sticks on course and putting green. The range now has flags to aim at. Greens are in excellent shape. They have ordered Pinseekers that will be attached to the flag sticks for an accurate distance. Would like to see the white tee boxes on 3/4 holes put on the appropriate tee box that matches the score card.
Okay course
Nice little course for the money. Cart paths could use a lot of work for they pretty much dont exist, could use better directional signage for hole locations. Seems like the coure always looks like it is under some kind of construction.
