Junior National Golf Club
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
course worse codition past couple of years possible past frost or irragation but very dry and bumpy ride. no rangers no golf cart lady glad i brought my own water, i guess you get what ya paid for for sure, cheapest around town.
Not a great course but nice enough to be challenging on some holes. Pace was slow at times
Consider this to be a fifty/fifty course. Some Tee Off areas and Greens are very good, other not so good and need attention. Water comes into play on a few holes and can present a challenge, otherwise the course is fairly easy to play. The pace can be slow at time, but we played in the afternoon was priced appropriately for the condition of the course and time toplay
Very nice experience
I always love playing here. Staff is great and the course is one of the best in tha area. Scenery is fantastic. The greens are fast and fairways pristine.
fast greens
Course still needs to address tee boxes,worst ive seen. Fairways are good and wide but miss it and your guess is as good as mine what type of lie you'll end up with if it doesmt end up in a groundhog hole. The greatest feature of Tres is allways the greens,superfast and well taken care of,being above the hole is a serious nono. On in two off in three if not carefull so use their gps system on carts which are very accurate to your advantage. Bunkers are much better then in the past,consistant sand in all. Overall the round was good and the pace of play was also good ,just alittle over 4 hrs .
Usually have great greens
Greens were too hard and slow. Animal mounds and uneven lies in the fairways need attention. Tees too long for women. Need an intermediate set of tees for seniors. Give involved with move it forward on your course. Play is always slow on this course. Traps are good. Poor job of overseeding.
Course is in great shape.
Greens run true. Several looks to test use of most clubs in your bag as well as doglegs left and right. Pace can be slow due to prices this time of year. This is great value for this time of year.
Tres Rios
did not see the beer cart until the 10th hole. Could have made some money on beer. Also my cart the gas pedal stuck and had no brakes. I called them and they said they did not have a replacement one at that time. told me I could walk. Not an option for me. I am a disabled Iraq vet with a service dog.
Will I go back. Since they are 3 miles from my house sure. Staff is not very friendly. Course was slow play. They have never had a ranger on the course to move people along.
Tres rio
Nice little layout needs some work , tee boxes are the worst I have played in a number of years fairways are overgrown but it is a good vaiue for this time of year.
Great Value
This course was a great find in the otherwise expensive Phoenix golf market. I agree with other posters that the areas off the fairway can be a little too spotty, but where there is grass it is very well kept. Greens are in great condition with few ball marks, roll true. Seems like they are very slippery down-hill but slower than would be expected going up-hill. Overall a very playable course with a nice GPS included on the carts.
Slow play for a Monday, but 4.5 hours not too bad
Men's t boxes need some work, pretty barren no grass
The course layout is confusing. More directional signs to tee boxes are needed.
The back nine fairways are too rough to drive the carts on and to rough to hit from.
Good Course
Very good course layout. Have lots of trouble with little critters digging holes. Greens were fantastic (firm,fast and your ball rolls as true as anywhere). Pin positions make this a tough layout. Overall I would return to play often as the price of play was the best out there.
Good value and getting better
We played at Tres Rios after not having played here for two years and were pleasantly surprised at the improved condition of the golf course. The greens were far better than I remember and the fairways much improved. The course is still 'tight' in a few areas and would benefit from heavier rough between holes to prevent stray shots from going into adjacent fairways. Friendly, accommodating staff is a bonus.
Great course for all levels
The last time I played this course (about two years ago), it required some major attention. This time, however, it was in very good shape and you could really notice the improvements. The greens were very good and some were quite challenging. The fairways were excellent but you needed to plan your shots well or you could be in trouble...if you hook or slice straighten it out before you play. Overall for the low to mid handicaps, you'll really like the course.
Greens in good condition
Greens in good condition but fareways need attention. Overall good course to play and price is average for winter play.
Course plays short
The course plays like concrete even though fairways look lush. The greens are VERY fast and i couldn't get any pitches to stick all went at least 10' off the green, pitch and run works best.
5h15m to play the round, the course was backed up because of 1 slow group, two groups ahead of us. could not see any players anywhere on the course ahead of them. 1 of the 4 in our group quit after 9 holes. He was frustrated with the slow play.
price i felt expensive for the course condition. We will not be back for a while...
Tres Rios GC
Started out with a frost delay. After thawing out for 30 minutes we tee off to an interesting golf course. Nestled at the base of the Estrella Mountains the course offers tree lined grassy fairways. Miss the fairways and you'll likely end up getting blocked by the trees or lying in dirt and/or deadpan. There is very little rough. The bunkers around the greens are firm with dirt base. The greens were surprisingly quick and in good condition. There is water but it's only found on three holes. Tres Rios is a bit out of town but the rates are good and you'll find this course fun!
Very tough greens to read and very fast.
Average public course. Fairways were a little sparse with scruffy looking dirt on the edges. As I said above, very challenging greens. Biggest gripe was the time of play. Staff very friendly.
