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.

Not as cheap as you think
Beware!!!! Don't believe the course price posted. There is a NON-OPTIONAL GPS fee of $3. While not a large sum, the ethics are questionable.
good place for beginners
T box's needed to be level -- some of the putting greens were sandy and the grounds crew had put
patches of grass to fill in some of the area's that grass had not grown
Hi u000001390398' Thank for the your recent review, we are currently working on our course conditions and should be back in excellent shape soon. Thanks for playing, hope to see you again soon.
review of tres rios
Greens is poor shape. do not hold, extremely fast. too many areas of dirt
Hi "rjmccl1" We appreciate your remarks regarding the course. We take everyone's feedback into consideration and will take a look at some of these areas. Thanks
Nice course in the west valley!
The course was in really good condition! Only issue is a couple holes on the back nine run toon close together. Staff was nice, and the windy conditions made the course more challenging. Definitely recommend this course!
Hi "Michael6039536" Thank you so much for the great review, we appreciate your feedback and recommendations. Please come back and visit us again soon.
twilight tee time
played Friday PM big discount good value cheap price however pace of play poor due to volume of players on course course has potential however very dry yet greens OK recommending for value to play those of us on a budget
Thank you for coming out to play and providing your feedback!
worst condition ever
we as 4 some play quite a bit throughout the valley and have played this course before numerous of times. This time however it was in the worst conditions we have ever saw it since the gophers used to over run the place. The tee boxes were pretty much dirt, fairways very spotted and the greens patchy at best. We used to like to play this course for the price but now not even the price would bring us back. I emailed the proshop person but no reponse, I guess they just don't care anymore.
Disappointing
Course needs work in fairways and several areas of standing water issues. Greens were qwik and not bad but carts have seen better days. We did like the gps on carts and came in handy. The course seemed like a liability waiting to happen as we noticed all day balls from different holes flying in different potentially dagerous directions. Either the golfers that day were horrible and its the only track they can afford to play or holes are set up improperly. Have to be on full alert for stray balls all day or get hit. Wont be back. Pay more play safer and a nicer course.
Thank you coming out to play and providing your feedback. We are sorry to hear you did not enjoy your experience on this day. We hope you will return again in the future to give us another chance to provide a normal great golfing experience.
Hard Greens
Not beating up the course but the greens were so hard that any chip shot you land on the green it would roll roll and roll for another chip shot. If you miss a 10 ft putt prepare yourself for a 20 ft putt coming back to the hole. Had some nice approach shots on the green just to be penalized ( ball would roll off the back of the green) I realize water is a luxury these days so just be prepared. Also good course to hit all your clubs in the bag. A nice drive and you still might have a 5 or 6 iron to the green.
Thank you so much for coming out to play and providing your review! We are glad to hear you were able to use all clubs in your bag and hope to see you back again soon.
Do Not waste your time or money
This day started as a joke as the staff said they would get us out soon since we were ready to go 30 minutes early, and then they watched us stand there for over 30 minutes before letting us go, KEEPING IN MIND NO ONE TEE'D OFF IN THAT 30 MINUTES. We had to wait for 2 members who had an 8;00 tee time and was still getting their gear out of the car at 8:10 and finally hit the ball at 8:22. By now our twosome turned into a foursome which is fine except they send out a twosome right behind us?
Course is the worst shape course I have ever played on in Arizona.There is absolutely no pride taken in this course or its equipment. Carts were in horrible shape and ours wouldn't even hardly turn. One of our foursome actually quit on the 12th hole because the course was in such dis-array. I really wish I could say at least one nice thing about this course and staff, but I can not!!
Thank you for your comments, we will review our maintenance / staff and readdress the situation. Thank you for making us aware of the current issues at the course.
Course needs water
Hitting off a lot of hard pan
Thank you for coming out to play Tres Rios! We are constantly working to maintain the hydration of the course, thank you for your patience. We hope you will return soon to experience our normal excellent conditions!
Course needs work on conditions!!
I like the course layout, just needs more care!
We appreciate you coming out to play and providing your feedback! We can assure you we are constantly working on improving conditions and hope you will return soon to experience our normal excellent golfing experience!
Good course BUT????
Excellent value BUT slow play essentially ruins the course. Apparently the course management really doesn't care. Even when called from on the course, they do nothing to resolve major slow play issues.. There are NO marshals and even if they had some the management would negate their effectiveness!! Good course for value but only if you can spent 5+ hours for a round!
Thank you for coming out to play and taking the time to provide your feedback. We apologize you experienced a slow pace of play on your visit. We can assure you your feedback is heard and we hope you will return soon so we can provide our normal excellent golfing experience.
Flat but long
nice course at the edge of the hills and quiet. Old palms and eucalyptus and plenty of birds in this quiet surrounding. Fairways and greens in good shape. Course is kind of flat but long, You can use your driver on all par 4s, which is a change from most of the courses in the valley. Greens are cut extremely short and do not hold the ball so your backspin has to be exaggerated. Putting is also vey challenging as the holes were made with a significant pullout resulting in a nice upward lip at the edges of the holes: Your ball cannot just roll in but must dive in! Loved the 19th hole with nice views of the mountain, quiet surroundings and no CO2 and particles: Roads are far and carts are electric (with nice incorporated GPS.)
We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your day at Tres Rios! Thank you for coming out to play and taking the time to provide detailed feedback for our future golfers. We look forward to seeing you back again soon!
Downhill slide
Unfortunately the care and conditions of this course are on a downhill slide. Greens are dry and crusty. Fairways are patchy and there are weeds and crab grass everywhere.
Thank you for coming out to play Tres Rios and taking the time to provide a review! We apologize you were not satisfied with the conditions and can assure you we are constantly working to improve. We hope you will return soon so we can provide our normal excellent golfing experience!
Good value
Greens fast, fairways need work.
Hi "den42low" Thank you for reviewing our course. We are currently in our peak season which has resulted in a lot of play. We are in the process of reviving the fairways and we appreciate your patience during this time.
Fun round
Got started at 2 PM and got in 9 holes before we had to leave for another appointment. The pace of play was slow because of a domino effect ahead of us.
The greens are fast, to say the least. A fun challenge though.
I can recommend this course to anyone who enjoys a challenge.
Hi "Pat8502750" We appreciate your patience regarding the pace of play on the course today. We appreciate you recommending us to those who want a challenge in their game!
Great day to play golf
Golf Course should invest in Marshall, slow play, not hard to fix
Hi "HerbertDonald1212" We appreciate your recommendation regarding our pace of play. We are currently looking into this situation. Thanks MGT
Price is Right
This is an adequate golf course. The course itself is in fair condition but with the use of special pricing coupons, it's well worth playing.
Hi "u263402911" Thank you for taking the time to review our course. We appreciate the honest review and hope that you will come back and visit us again soon.
good and bad
Good course. Great greens. Slowest round I've ever played. Could really use a Marshall to keep things movibg. Overall a good value for the dollar.
Hi 'twild" Thank you for the recent review. We appreciate you patience as we are in peak season here in Arizona. Many courses in the area are in the same situation, but we are doing our best to speed things around. We appreciate your patience during this time. Thanks MGT
Beat up!
Nice little course that has gone down the toilet.
More dead spots than I could count.
$25 rates acceptable only if you're looking for a practice round.
Hi "Rob1575011" We apologize for you experience on the course on this particular day. We have received lots of play recently and the course is trying to keep up with the demand. We are constantly working on course conditions and hope that you will give us another try soon.
Hi "golfwdb" We appreciate your feedback. We do however post in our online tee time notes that tax and gps fee is not included in the price. Thanks MGT
