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.

A tad over booked, but the new GPS's in the golf carts are awesome!
A tad over booked, but the new GPS's in the golf carts are awesome!
This course is in horrible condition
The overall condition of this course is horrible from tee to green. Grass is scarce, greens are bumpy with divot marks all over them and not well maintained. Not worth the money they charge at all
Friendly staff,
Course was packed, 40 minute delay in getting out, no course Marshall, group in front fell 2 holes behind.
This course is not in very good condition.
Booked on line as a single,the pro shop staff forgot about me. I had to go and ask when I could play. Then they added me to a threesome who had already teed off. The cart I shared barely ran. The tee boxes were in bad need of repair. The pins had not been changed recently. I would not recomend this course to anyone.
Distressed course
I came away sour because the grass was lousy. The fairways needed toupees or comb-overs. But then I thought, what if I was a really good golfer wanting to practice shots off hard tack and bare areas. This would a bonanza for such a player as 50 percent of shots were distressed. I doubt I will return, although the layout and the surroundings are more than adequate. Good place for a good player wanting to practice these specialty shots. Traps were good, greens fair.
The GPS feature on each cart is a nice feature.
We enjoy the challenge of the course, and the mountain views are nice.
Great Price, pace of play, and course.
Always in great shape and the best bargain for the conditions and course in the entire west valley.
Frisky greens
Bring you A game. Fairways need a little work. Really nice big trees. Satisfactory 18 holes of golf. We will be back, fore!
Nice course.
Nice course diffent from the rest of the courses around the area, theres no houses and no desert between the holes; Just grass and trees, makes playing a little easier. Pace of play is very slow 5+ hours for 18.
Needs Attention
Tres Rios could be a very good value course. It has a decent layout, it's walkable for those who like that, and provides enough challenge to make the round interesting.
The've got 2 really big problems but both should be easy fixes. Because of burrowing animals, their tee boxes are atrocious. Throw some dirt down, smooth it out, and give us somewhere to stand. You shouldn't have to hit from bad lies on the tee.
The second problem is why they've lost me as a customer. Due to the course layout, there is a natural bottleneck that begins at the 6th hole. Even though there is a "player assistant" who monitors this area, he refuses to do anything to keep things moving. And when he sits at a par 3 and watches 4 foursomes try to play the hole at the same time...
If you're going to play this course, plan on being the second or third group waiting to hit on every tee box.
Worth the money, but
The layout is fine and length is a challenge, but greens are a little slick and sloped. Course appears to have a gofer problem which takes away from the aethetics. But for $29 you have more than you paid for.
Very Basic; old style; flat
Not a course that keeps your attention as many holes are very similar to the previous ones.
Very poor conditions/
Our group was looking for some golf at an affordable price which Tres Rios offered but the condition of the course was not worth the money we paid. Very poor conditions from tee to green and staff was non responsive when feedback was given. We will not return to Tres Rios.
Will not be back
Had to wait almost an hour after our reserved tee time for a cart due to poor planning on the courses part. Then found the course to be in horrible condition...many dead trees, lots of dirt spots and obviously the course needed a bit more water. Was told there was a new owner so they need to come see what it looks like!
Just got to cold.
Couldn't finish round due to coldest temps in 25 years.
Greens & fairways need attention
Greens were dry and hard as marble and could not hold approach or even pitches very well at all.
Fairways were very poorly overseed and hard and bumpy. Also a big problem with groundhog dirt piles throughout course.
Driving range in poor shape and a safety net is needed to catch stray balls as your car could get hit driving towards parking lot.
Cart access to parking lot would have been nice as much of the parking is distant from bag drop area.
Tee blocks were uneven and many dry and rough.
The course does have great features.
The course does present excellent trials. The greens are somewhat fast and the slopes of the green are also somewhat steep. Very few flat greens. But overall the course is great to play.
Pray for its recovery
I used to play here with some regularity, but hadn't been back since April until yesterday. On the plus side, I do like the layout and scenic location near the mountains. Also, the greens, for the most part, are in good shape.. Unfortunately, the fairways are something else. Those 100,000 gopher holes have now been filled in. But you now how have dirt mounds rising over them. Hopefully, they will be leveled off soon. Until then, the place is a site for sore eyes. And while I managed to avoid the bunkers, a playing partner found them to be seriously lacking in sand.
