Junior National Golf Club

Tres Rios is one of my favorite courses. I have played it for many years and it's wide open for the player who isn't the most accurate. A lot of trees make missed shots a penalty, rough was cut down so balls were easy to find. Greens were in excellent condition, pace of play was slow for a Tuesday afternoon (started at 12:45 and finished at 5:30)

I really enjoyed my experience on the course and plan to return. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the price was affordable. I look forward to my next round there

About a year ago this course (and new mgmt company) had made great strides to improve the conditions of this course. Yesterday, however, as we turned off Estrella Parkway towards the course I could see hundreds of huge gopher mounds from the road (1/4 mile away!). I have NEVER seen the amount of destruction to a course as I had seen yesterday, it was bad enough these mounds were on every fairway, but even some of the greens had gopher holes! Very, very sad what they have ALLOWED this course to denegrate to. Had I thought about I should have taken pictures with my phone to display.

Positives:
Great friendly staff!
Amazing Tee boxes, Greens and Fairways!
Great Price!
Golf Cart Died and was replaced within 5 minutes!
Happy hour Beer Prices were amazing!

Negatives:
Holes 1 and 10 infested with Locusts
Gophers or possum holes everywhere on course
Rough is extra short and burnt out

Bring something to drink and keep a wet towel handy because there is no water to drink on the course and nearly all the ball washers are gone. Some spots on the course need repair, but if the green fees are under $30, Tres Rios is a good value for your money. Fairways are still a little long, but that should improve if they get out their mowers.

Course in fair condition. A number of holes have mounds of dirt, possibly caused by rodents. But numerous and need to be maintained daily to eliminate if that is the case. If ball hits mound, the ball stops. One golf cart often backfired, the other had to be returned during first hole of play because of malfunction. Work needs to be done to make the experience more attractive.

The course is in very good condition. The speed of the greens is improving as the it is no longer slow. The pace of play is good.

.oCourse was loaded with gopher moles and their mounds of dirt were everywhere greens were slow and very bumpy

The course itself was a pleasure to play and just challenging enough for the amateur golfer who is looking for a friendly place to hit the golf ball around while you attempt to improve their. The staff were extremely nice and helpful to their customers and knowledgeable of the course. If I had to find just one flaw it would have to be that the round was slow. I myself prefer a quicker pace but the nice weather and pleasant atmosphere more than made up for the slow play. I would suggest this course to anyone who wants a relaxing day of golf with their friends and/or loved ones.

Front nine 2 hours back nine 3 hours. Course was overbooked.

Greens were smooth, fairways need more grass, like to new flags on the greens.

I booked a 2 pm tee time. The course was overbooked, we waited 45 minutes past my tee time waiting for a cart, and played behind two pairs of fivesomes. We did get to play through the first one.

Several groups, The Men's Group, The Players have refused to continue to play under the conditions this course has presented to it's clients the last three (3) years. The staff is not response to problems of the tall grass on the course. They response to say there's only one (1) mower....for the last three (3) yerars. They continue to have a shortage of carts on hand, 30 in total for the last three (3) years. Manager John is not capable of keeping the pace of golfers on the first tee to get out in an timely manner. And refuses to give raincheck tickets when the time of five (5) hrs and above is reached.

This time of year there are not many courses open in the West Phoenix area due to over seeding. Tres Rios is one of the few open and they get extra play because of that.

Could be nice course. Great views. OK layout. Bunkers just junk. Can't believe someone bought this & doesn't upgrade-even modestly. We won't be back. Not even for $25. Sorry.

Golf Now did not have an over seeding alert nor cart path only indicator. We got to the course and found out you could only take the cart in the rough since there are very few cart paths. We won't be back.

Excellent price for this time of year. I always got the times I desired. Staff was accommodating since I seek others the play with since I comes as a single.

Greens a great and staff is great. Over seeding was just done when I played so I cant wait to go back when grass is fully grown.

I have a hard time being negative on this course. I like it, but the conditions where not what I think they should be.
They may be prepping for overseed,

When the course is properly maintained its fun to play. Yes its a bit of a drive, but its generally worth it.

Give it a try.

the course is nearby where I live so it's a plus. I find the course
suitable for easy play and practice. It is maintained except the
gas cart that I had was not running very well. It was uncomfortable.
