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.

Don't tell anybody
Hey I had so enjoyed myself I went back again last week and plan on going again this weekend!
This is a great track with a good blend of long and short holes. You better bring your A putting game for sure as the greens are some of the fastest I've ever been on.
Shop staff friendly and restaurant too.
Great value for the money.
Bunker's that you can actually play out of, excellent sand.
Good for the money
Good playable muni course. At the time we played the course was in good not great condition, but very playable. Greens were very fast.

Fast greens
The course was in good shape. The greens were very fast for me which is one reason my score was so high. They weren't a normal color green color so I thought they put something on them to help the vegetation. They ran true and I didnt notice any bumping or weaving so my score was my own fault. The pace of play was great if anything it was my group that was a bit slow. The staff was friendly as usual which is very good.
Hi "daledrost" Thank you so much for the kind remarks regarding our course conditions and staff. So are so glad that our course was fun but challenging for you! Please come back and visit us again soon!
Solid Track
This course is solid! The greens are in great condition and the fairways are good. Cannot comment on the food or drink becuase the clubhouse was closed due to the off season.
Hi "pfoltmer" Thanks for the great review, so glad you enjoyed our course conditions! Please come back and visit us again soon.
Worse course in the valley.
This is the worst golf course in the entire Phoenix Metro area. The course was in such bad shape that they offered me a free foursome to come back with my friends when it got better. So we came back a couple months later and it wasn't much better. I felt really bad for wasting their time and taking them to this horrible track.
Good time
Course is a decent play and has some interesting holes. I would recommend this course to average and better players.
Hi "Keith1001" Thank you for the great review! We appreciate your feedback about our challenging course. Please come back and visit us again in the near future.
GREAT VALUE
COURSE WAS IN GOOD SHAPE FOR BEGINNING OF DECEMBER. GREENS CUT DOWN AND PRETTY FAST. PACE OF PLAY WAS ABOUT 4.5 HOURS ALTHOUGH WE WERE PAIRED UP WITH 2 BEGINNERS SO NOT BAD CONSIDERING. CARTS COULD USE SOME ATTENTION-PARKING BRAKE DIDNT WORK AND BAG STRAP WAS WORN OUT AND WOULDNT HOLD THE BAG IN OVER BUMPY TERRAIN. HAD TO RIG IT UP WITH THE SHOULDER STRAP. ALL IN ALL, A GOOD DAY ON THE COURSE.

Great course Better customer service
I have a disease and hadn't been out in a while and i called the day before because my friends could not make, i asked to go it alone. I walked in and Robert the gentleman i spoke with the previous day , called me by name and welcomed me by name, Mr Tolliver. I ended up not being able to play , my disease was getting the better of me. i went to say thank you to Robert, he offered either a rain check or money back, without being asked. Robert was compassionate and kind. I have been to that course hundreds of times, i won't ever forget that one.
Hi "tthndr294' Thank you so much for the excellent review. We will definitely pass along these kind remarks to Robert. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your entire experience at Tres Rios. Can't wait to see you back out on the course hopefully in the near future.
The course was fun
The course was in good shape and the only complaint is that the markings for yardage is poor as we did not have GPS.
Hi "gruhr" Thank you for taking time to review our course, we will definitely take your remarks and concerns and revisit your recommendations in our next meeting. Thank you for playing see you next year.
Strange golf cart strategy
We like playing the course. It is challenging and yet fun to play. We found it odd today to see 4 players with 3 carts, 2 players with 2 carts and in one case, 4 players with 4 carts. Yet the course was turning the sprinklers on every 2 hours to help with the over seeding. Obviously weren't worried about the fairways.
Hi "rpangman" We recently overseed the course middle October. The course was cart path only for a week after this recent overseed but we are now good to go with the carts on the fairways.

Beautiful Day For Golf Really Enjoyed Playing This Course & You Can't Beat The Price !!
HI "u000004907360" Thank you so much for the review, we are so pleased you enjoyed the course and the great price! Please come back and visit us soon on your next trip from Chicago!
Fun course
We have played this course in past years and found it to be a fun course. Some longer par fours add to the difficulty.
Hi "rpangman" Thanks for the great review, cant wait for your return on your next visit from Canada!
value
Decent Value for your money Staff is always friendly Course could use some extra attention
Hi "Flyer86man " Thank you for your review, after the recent overseed the course is definitely getting back to proper shape. We hope you will give us another try in the near future.
Has potential
Course was under construction carts were used poor condition hard to follow hole to hole direction. I hope the course will improve , rough was in poor condition will check back in a few months.
Hi "BurchRacing" thank you for you review, the course was recently overseeded. The course will be in proper shape here in the next few weeks. Please come back and give us another try.
Rough was thick
Pulling up I was surprised at the course conditions for late summer. The greens were really good and the fairway was kept well but the rough was crazy thick and there is just no need for 5-8 inch rough just off the fairway. Other than that it was a good experience but just wish they would of kept perimeter a little more maintained.
Hi "rick1791301" Thank you for your honest review. We will take your comments into consideration and reevaluate the rough. Thanks for the review and we hope to see you out of the course soon!
No maintence
Course could be nice
But it seems like there lawn mower broke down
Staff is not rude but not friendly either
Hi "u304074284" 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.
Desert Fun
I enjoy playing this course because it provides just enough of a challenge to keep you on our toes, but not detract from an overall joyful experience. The desert view is very nice. There is plenty of desert wildlife on the course to make it fun just to ride down the fairways. It's not fancy, which I like. The atmosphere is southwest country.
Hi "javaguy58" Thank you for taking time to review our course, we really appreciate it. So glad you had a wonderful time. Please come back and visit us soon!
Relaxed, small town feel.
Very few rules here, go and practice your game feel. The tradional / typical, tournament play feel golf course (not Estrella Mountain's, Tres Rio), multiplies the stress levels of novice and high handicap players. The tables are turned here at Estrella Mountain Tres Rio - An experienced player or group could be the ones with addional stress due to course condition and non traditional play of the general players there. The course layout is tight on many holes. If you are at all self conscience about your golf inability, this is the course for us :).
Hi "u000006315558" We apologize that you did not enjoy your round today. Tres Rios welcomes all skill levels to come play at the course. It is a challenge for all types of golfers. We hope to see you out on the course in the near future.
Beware
Tres Rios is golf for golf's sake. Cheap .. Mostly Playable conditions .. They send you out and forget about you. It is a haven for bad, slow players. Bad golf Is part of he game, I get it. I'm bad too. Slow, stupid play is unforgivable.
Beware the $10 Wednesday deal. It attracts people who don't belong on a regulation length 18 hole course. Slow, slow, slow, slow. Today, I walked in after 12 holes ( had to be somewhere) and we were three hours in already. We were the third group off .. Teed off at 6:08 am. Just brutal. No Rangers, no marshals, no drink cart, they charge you for ice and water.
You get what you pay for here.
Hi "jmsqabq" We are sorry about your experience at Tres Rios on this particular day. We strive for a pace of play around 4 hours 20 minutes no matter what time of day you tee off at. The $10.00 deal is a great price no matter what skill level you are. Apologize for the slow play and hope you will give us another try in the near future.
An older course not for the faint of heart.
It's an old course in need of updating. Most of the fairways are in fair condition but there are very course undulations that detract from the playability. Even the cart paths are rough. I would not recommend this course to the older player. It's just not a pleasant experience. The staff are outstanding but can't make up for the overall condition of the course.
Hi "Ronald6245426" Thank you for your honest review. We are working hard to improve overall course conditions. We appreciate your patience during this time and hope that you will visit us again in the near future. Thanks MGT
