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.

Over booked course

Very unhappy with Tres Rios. Signed up for the 2:15 lunchspecial. There were no carts available for our tee time. Also seven people were assigned to the same tee time of 2:15. After waiting until 2:30 we got started. The course was so over booked it took 40 minutes to play two holes. The pace of play was so slow that we could only finish 13 holes. Great idea but very bad execution.

Overbooked or poor scheduling

Due to overbooking or poor scheduling or not announcing who was next or lack of carts or all of the above resulted in a pace of play the was horrible unless you want to stand around at the tees with the group in front of you and behind you while another group tries to finish. In 4 hours we were able to get in 13 holes. The staff could of used some help. The course is in better condition than last year. I would have a hard time recommending this course

Course is OK if you stay in fairway

Played it a few years ago before name change. It was in much better shape then. Very busy due to low green fees. The rough was in bad shape with a lot of bare spots. Green were good and fairways in good shape.
Do not be in a hurry.

Neglected course

Course looks like it was abandoned. Poorly maintained throughout, with greens rock hard. Even Tee boxes are so hard it's difficult to set your tee. The only redeeming point is the price (including a dog and a beer) with a special discount. But I couldn't recommend the course. Perhaps when they begin to water and groom the course it will be worth a return round.

Slow Play

When I arrived at the course, I was hopeful to get out early. I was informed that my tee time would be 20 minutes after my sscheduled tee time, making it impossible to play 18 holes before dark. Also the group in front of us were playing very slow and no Marshall to enforce the speed of play.

White Tees

They have done a good job getting the white tees back to matching the score card. Only 11 and 12 are wrong. Don't know if this is a result of the women playing a tournament there. Course in pretty good shape with the exception of the green on number two which is still not good. Overall great deal for the money.

Not worth the drive

I was really impressed with the greens. Good shape, rolled true, and with a good pace. Everything else was not impressive, and really wasn't worth the long drive to get there. The very first hole had some wash off from the mountain in the middle of the fairway.

Estrella-Tres Rios

Course a little shaggy and very dry in most places. Fairways are OK but roughs very dry and mostly short. Not a lot of good grass.. maybe they cannot afford to water as they used to do. Greens were very nice in most cases. Hole #2 in very bad shape on the front part of the green. Overall the greens were pretty nice. Pace of play was slow but it was a holiday and we played in the afternoon.

Course has gone down hill rapidly

I have been playing Tres Rios for years. The last two years the golf course has turned into a cow pasture. The greens are good, but the rest of the course is bumpy, uneven, inconsistent, and just not good. There are many other courses in the West Valley that are better and less expensive. Try Tuscany Falls or Coldwater.

Needs TLC

This time of year in the Valley, golf prices are extremely high so I look to find a good bargain this time of year. While searching for tee times, I ran across Tres Rios and noticed that the green fees were pretty reasonable for this time of year (February). So after looking on their website and looking at some pictures I chose to set up a tee time to bring my Father In Law out golfing while he was visiting from the Midwest. When we got to the course we noticed that it looked a little rough and that became more prevalent as we played our round. The course was in terrible shape, however the greens were decent. If you are off the fairway the slightest bit, you are practically hitting from a parking lot. The "rough" is beat down sand, there is not rough at all. (This isn't the typical desert conditions that I am referring to either). The fairways were not in very good shape either. We paid $44.00 for the round and I would suggest that they cut their prices by at least half or do some major renovations.

Worth Your Time!

For winter rates this course is a pretty good deal. Course plays somewhat challenging with a couple of really long par 4's. Fun day of Golf! Trees, Trees and more Tree's!

good public course

For under $25 you get 18 holes, cart, beer and hotdog. Cannot beat value. But due to great deal they put golfers out every 7 mins so wait at every hole. Fairways dry but greens and tee boxes nice.

Great Value

Best value in the West Valley. Always in good condition, except for a lot of hard pan around the course. But hey, it's a desert out here. My favorite local course. Not a house in sight anywhere. Now THATS nice!
