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.

A Real Mess

I was very disappointed in the conditions at this course. I brought out of town visitors who had been playing different courses for 10 days. They said it was the poorest course they had played.
To start with my golf cart was very dirty( #10). It was also very hard to steer.
There really were no trails to follow and what was there besides the cement was very rough. Having never played the course it was difficult to know where the holes were. Needs more signs.

cool damp morning

It was a cook damp morning for golf. The air was heavy and the ground had a lot of moisture in it. The greens were so so on a few of the holes and they were hard and fast.
You had to chip short and let the ball run as they would not check from spin.
Overall the couse played good.

Easy course and good value

Booked on line for a back nine with breakfast. Attendant said to play our 7:30 tee time then eat breakfast. When we completed our nine holes, about 10:00, the kitchen staff knew nothing of the breakfast deal and said the breakfast preparation was done for the day. So we got a hot dog, chips and beer for breakfast. Otherwise we had a good time and played the course again later in the week.

course play

Course was in good shape other than the greens being rock hard. Greens where fast and smooth which isnt surprising as the greens where like concrete. Payed for 18 holes and pace of play in front of us was so slow that the staff kicked us off the course after the 15th hole because they wanted to go home.

Great Value

Best value so far on 7th day of 3 week holiday! We were paired with a local who helped with the tricky greens. Even though we followed a 5 some the pace was quite decent.

The course was challening at times

It was very windy the day we played but overall if played ok. we were behind a very slow 4 some so it took a little longer than we had planned. I would play it again but on a nicer day. They really need to work on the sand traps, very poor sand/dirt.

Comfortable day

Had two foursomes play and everyone had a great day of golf. Staff was very friendly including the cart people washing my clubs after the round. Recommend to all to play with one caveat. The earlier you play the faster the pace of play.

Correct Tee Box

I play the white tees and since last summer there are at least four holes where the tee box does not match the score card. The course is handicapped based on the correct tee box. When are you going to correct the tee box problem or has the course redone for handicapping???? Otherwise staff is friendly and food is good.

Hard pan

The fairways and rough were extremely hard and almost impossible to take a divot. The bunkers were the worst sand of the 80 plus courses I have played in the Phoenix area. The greens were in excellent condition and lightning fast

Tres Rio Review

Played Tres Rios on 1/5. Nice track. Got paired up with (3) very nice people. Enjoyed the round. A little dusty in the roughs, but other than that, the course is an very good shape. The personnel at the pro shop were very helpful and courteous. I will definitely play this course again.

Frost delay

Hour and half delay. The young lady in the kitchen was excellent and friendly even with being swamped with waiting golfers. She has my 5 stars for service. Food was great. Couldn't eat it all.

Course was fine. Priced fair also. Will play again soon.

Really poor facility

Tee time running 30 minutes late in morning, cart cleanliness poor, poor bathroom facilities with no tissue in women's and urinal plugged in men's sending it overflowing. Did not overseed fairways with many holes too close together. Greens in good shape but too firm. Tee boxes too hard.
