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.

Great for beginners and experienced golfers

Pretty and scenic parkland style golf course. Crooked hitters and beginners can almost always play their next shot, unlike many of the desert target style courses.

Love this course

Played it many times.
It's 5 minutes from home so obviously I play it a lot. I'm a Canadian and own a house here. I come to Az. for the heat. It's off season for the locals so the place is wonderfully NOT busy. Bang for your golfing buck is awesome.

I haven't played here for a while. Nice improvement by removing the underbrush. The greens were a little disappointing, but overall we had a enjoyable day.

it is what it is.

Nice course. As easy or hard as you want to make it depending on the tee you choose to play. Course in good condition . Not perfect but not bad. Was disappointed at the pace of play. It could have been quicker if marshals were present to keep things moving.

nice course

The biggest problem I have with this course is the pin placement. Many of the pins are placed on severe slants on the greens, really uncalled for.

Dirt cheap golf

Very reasonable for a round with a cart and gps. Very slow play however as it attracts the beginner golfers.
Greens were in good shape though.

Course has improved

We golfed this course last fall a few times and it is in very noticeable better condition. The fairways are so much better then they have been in the past three years. We were impressed! The pace was a bit slow but we didn't know when we booked there was a tournament earlier, but we will be back!

Bumpy for a cart, fairly easy and open

The course was in decent shape and pretty wide open if you sliced or hooked one-ended up on another fairway but could play it. Greens were pretty fast, gotta play it now, not sure it will hold up in the summer.

Tre Rios

Very slow pace. Started at 2:30, finished at 7:00 almost in the Dark. Send a Marshall to keep things moving.

Food not available to purchase at the turn, counter open, unmanned, no doggers or sandwiches.

Beverage cart last round when we were on hole #4, 3:15 ish???

Good bang for the buck

Great facility, great staff. We rented clubs which took our price up somewhat, but were pleased with the clubs and the price of golf itself was a great deal. I will be back

This course for most part had poor fairway conditions

The conditions of the fairways were poor. Overall conditions fair to poor. Felt the greens were better with all the play on the course. Played at a steady pace with a 4 some. Took just over 4 hours. The surface throughout the course was hard and hard to hold the greens. Greens had some undulation to them. Course was fairly easy to play and would recommend as a good warm up course. Staff friendly and service on course ok, but no hard liquor in clubhouse.

Tres Rios

OK course, pace of play was surprisingly slow for early morning. Greens were hard and fast, you could putt up the aprons. Fairways were good, off fairways got bad quickly, so stay on the fairways. Bunkers were hard dirt/sand, not friendly
