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.

Nice Track,
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 more than zcceptable.
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.
Wonderful Conditions
The course is in great shape following over seeding. Greens run true but a little slow right now. Entire group of employees were very helpful happy and ready to assist in anyway. Go check this course out. GPS in carts nice surprise.
Awefule experience
We left after 9 holes. The carts are being leased and they hardly ran. The pace of play was awful, the greens were shaggy and I will never return!
The same isssues time and time again.
The course packs in the players, but does not have a starter or marshals on the course. They start players on the first and the ninth holes so play gets backed up and play times escalate in a hurry, especially if they have a tournament, so make sure you call ahead to see what's scheduled for that day. They also have a habit of sending off fivesomes, which really slows things down. The etiquette on the course is poor, with many players refusing to let a single of a double play through slower foursomes. The roughs are really deep on most of the holes, so be prepared to hunt for your balls which really slows the pace of play down. Count on the possibility of a lost ball or two . UGH!
Plus they have nearly doubled the monthly fees to $150 month, plus $12 a round whether you walk or cart it. They call it a service fee. Seriously ?
Play anywhere else
This may be the worst golf course in the whole valley. Poorly maintained, slow play is the norm, and the people who run it are jerks.
While trying to putt on the 18th hole, I had a groundskeeper drive by with an air blower and blow grass shavings and dirt all over me and into my eyes. When I went to complain they tried to buy me off with a free round instead of disciplining the worker.
You couldn't pay me to play this course again!
Bargain course
Average up keep. Little rough around the edges. greens could use a little more upkeep. and fairways a little more water. Overall three stars for the low price.
course good, proshop Employees... bad!!!
In all honesty, the course was descent, had a little maintenance issues but for the most part was fun and "up to Par". although the course experience was great, experience with the staff was just short of diabolically Rude. Keep in mind this is my fiancee and my brother's first time hitting the course together. We were finishing up hole seventeen, as we see the gentleman that gave us the carts and service race at us in a cart yelling... "your finished", "your finished", "bring it in"!!!!!. we were on time and steady, so we decided we would finish hole 18. as we tee off, the not-so-gentelman was standing on the green waving his arms, as i looked up my online reservation on the pda in my golf bag i realized, on the website for this particular course they offer twighLight hours, which it was 5:45 when we were on 17, sunset was 7:35, i recommend you golf somewhere else where you will get a full 18. Gwg
Good Layout
I liked the course lay out. The majority of the holes on the front nine required a fade while the back nine required a draw for many of the holes. I also like that the course isn't surrounded by any homes and has a abundance of trees.
The down side of Tres Rios is course condition which is spotty. For the most part, the greens were in nice condition but tee boxes and fairways are in need of attention. The cost of playing Tres Rios is very reasonable and the experience of playing there, even with the course condition, was a good one.
Not well maintained
The grass was very think, even on the fairway. Easy to loose your ball. Paths are rough and many gopher holes made it hard to get around.
Course was in rough shape
Course was in poor shape. A lot of tree branches on fairways, and animals had dug holes where mounds of dirt were still present on 3 greens. Fairways were hard to make out as they were uncut.
Tres Rios charges extra
I booked a tee time on Golf Now.com for $7/person plus $10.50 for fees. For 4 people that should have been $38.50. Tres Rios charged me $51. Call before you go to the course if you reserve a tee time on Golfnow.com
Good value for the price.
This course is great for the price we paid including the cart. The staff was friendly and inviting. However, if you're looking for perfect, it is not. The course needs some attention and there were quite a few prairie dog holes. Overall, we had a good time.
Fun course for a mixture of skill levels
Course was fun to play and staff was really outgoing. Obviously, the season had taken its' toll on the turf but would be a great value either way!
Diamond in the Rough
The course was played in June 2013. The grass was going dormant with some overseeding to green up the greens. Little ground squirrels (looked like small prairie dogs to me) and rabbits were making home all over the golf course with dirt mounds everywhere. Some traps were set. Some greens were also affected by the ground squirrels. Overall golf was good, course was interesting, requiring you to move the ball left and right off the tee. Greens held with higher spin rate balls. Greens rolled true on putts.
Needed beverage carts on course and open the snack bar.
Great place to play for $12 golf and cart.
Clubhouse staff were friendly and helpful.
plays straight, and fairly wide open.
There were a few "tough" holes with hazards, but overall I found it to be pretty straight forward. Not too long or short either. I had a good time playing this remote course.
Good layout, inadequate course directions
restaurant closed too early for lunch, water fountains were sufficient but the water was not cold. too many holes in the fairway due to some type of rodent
Great value for the money.
Greens were a bit thin but despite the lack of grass, putts were smooth and were rolling true. Tees and fairways were somewhat soft, had plenty of grass and the course was well maintained. They did not have coolers to keep water cool and did not have a beverage cart running. Warm/hot water was coming out of the water fountains scattered thruout the course. The drinking water situation needs to be addressed for this to time of year.
the course is a great value!
good value, course is in nice condition! Rate was good.
