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.

Fun course
I would only ask that next time there is a huge back up and the round take 5 1/2 hours that maybe a ranger to speed up play would be nice. Everything else was excellent.
Tres Rios in the Winter
Like many courses during the winter in Phoenix, this course had nice green fairways and fast, true greens. The rough and desert areas were fairly dead. Water comes into play on three holes, but is very manageable. Be careful of the water on your right on the 2nd hole. The fairways are very wide with trees scattered throughout. It looks and plays like a "muni" course. The staff was very friendly and the overall experience was pleasant.
playing for fun
This is a good course. No homes lining the fairway. No worries about hitting a house. The course has been taken care of the last month making it more fun to play. The staff are great. Lands keepers are courteous and move out of your way and get equipment behind trees if possible. I will play there a lot more this year.
Fair layout tough greens.
Fairway and greens in good condition. Walkable course.
good layout, poor condition
I play here once a year hoping it will get better, don't waste your money
Poor Conditions
This was the worse course we have played in many years. The course has gone down hill over the past years and I believe it has hit rock bottom. Will not play this course again.
dusty fairways
I found the golf course dry and dusty,the greens were dry and unpredictable
Poor conditions
On a cool overcast morning, played course with 13-year old son. Booked on golfnow but gave me junior rate! Nice. Got off earlier than scheduled. That's as far as good goes. Course in horrible condition. Tee boxes chewed up, little grass on them. Greens were hard and extremely fast, rough was either sandy weeds or overgrown dead long weeds.
Good course for the cost
The pace of play was much better (4hrs) than previous experiences (5+) during afternoon play. The greens were in great shape and the fairways had been watered earlier in the day. Also there was a Marshal keeping an eye on the pace of play.
NIce Afternoon
Fairways are great, the green could us some work, spotty and cut very short. No way to hit the green and keep the ball on as fast and hard as the green was.
Love this course!
Every time I golf here, I enjoy it exactly like the first time I golfed there. Great shape through the year, but has its hard times with the heat, but over the winter it is amazing! That's AZ for you!!
A very enjoyable course.
This course has something for all golfers. It can be a tough from the black tees and yet friendly from the white.
Tres Rios is a beginners course
This is my least favorite course in the Phoenix area and there are a lot of reasons. Dirt cart paths, gopher mounds, conjested layout (holes overlap so tee boxes are near greens), lots of dead area (dead trees, dead grass, dirt) between holes. There was a green that had a gopher hole in the middle and the rough was non existant. It looks like they wanted to save time so they cut the rough around the greens the same length as the fairway. I saw some kids riding their cart over tee boxes and on the green. People were extremely loud when you're trying to tee off so this is a beginners course at best. After the round your golf bag and belongings will be extremely dusty due to the dirt cart paths. There are too many courses in the area that cost the same and are much nicer so I won't be back.
Not so good
This course was really badly maintained. The Fairways and greens were fine but the rest was the pits! To many things to mention. This course is called Tres Rios/Estrella Mountain.
Great Value
Nice track for the money, no condos, no homes.nice views .
The greens have dried out after the re seeding, their back to firm & good speed.
