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.

Needs work
I've played this course for many years. This is the worst I have ever seen it . Will not play it again until they do some work on it .
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.
Good value, but soooooo slow
This is a good course and in much better shape than the last time we played it. But they really need a ranger on the course to move things along. First, a foursome and a twosome of friends joined together so they were playing as a SIXsome for about five holes until someone called the pro shop and said what the heck? A fellow rode out on a cart and split them up, but pace of play had pretty much ground to a halt already. Then another foursome slowed things down again so badly that there were two full open holes ahead of them. Yes, people can play poorly, but please play poorly FAST so the rest of us do not have to wait on every. single. shot. It did not help that the rules for the day were no carts in the fairway.
No water to drink
It's Tres Rios or Estrella Mountain, same place. 3:45 min round as a foursome of average golfers. There is no water on this course to drink. I need my H2O
Where are your markers?
It was hard to find markers on the ground. The fairways were kept somewhat, some were sort of hard. Thanks for the hole signs, that helped tons or else it would have been a nightmare. Ballwash locations were inconsistent. Frustrating to play with muddy golf balls. Cart path hard to follow, there is none. Some signs were posted as to where not to ride on but not marked clearly. Overall, average. Not a fan of open courses.
This course has some issues
Sorry to say....the course is in terrible shape. You can't walk anywhere on the course that is flat without holes and it's so uneven you should be using ATV's to get to each hole!! Several greens had some type of black stuff on them and were not in good shape at all. We used to enjoy playing here, but not so much, now.
Tres Rios
We were not warned that it was cart path only. This should have been done through golf now! The rough had not been cut for awhile, this slowed play a lot. Couple of greens not in good condition.
good price
The course conditions were poor and the grass between the fairway and the putting green was over grown and in terrible condition. I lost 1 sleeve of balls in first three holes on the back nine due to overgrown and dead grass next to and between fairways. Hard to discern where each hole is and the direction in which you should be aiming for. Overall the price was the only attractive part of this course and that was the price on golfnow.
Improved Course
Facilities the same with driving range on the mats and a putting green that is not level. Staff very nice and good rates. Course has improved with decent fairways and they are watering the greens so now they will hold your approach shots. Will be back.
garbage course
dont waste your money on this piece of garbage course. I have never seen it in such bad shape. it can not believe they charge money to play here. the worst course in phoenix
