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.

Love this course

Tres Rios is about as close as I will come to a home course. I play here frequently. With the current Covid 19 situation, they are doing the best they can. The course is in good shape. The staff is taking all precautions while still providing good service. I've always liked playing here and will continue to do so.

Tres Rios

Similar to golfing on a construction site, not much of a fairway, lots of weeds all over, lots of dirt patches mixed in with the fairway, greens were awful, course looked like it was on it's last legs, no scorecards or pencils were give to to virus? No ranger and a foursome snuck in front of us so we had to constantly wait on the front 9.

Cheap, get what you pay for...

The staff was awesome! The course was a bit rough, the pace of play was horrible. They were triple booked from the app Golf Now. But the we felt pressure from people behind us and we were pressuring the people in front of us. No houses so great for new players. Fairways and green are ok, but if your in the rough, it’s very rough lol. But lots of fun and some what challenging. Would not play again. But the $30 value was the best in town.

Greens in transition

The pace of play was a little slow with a foursome, followed by 2 twosomes, then my twosome. Took about 4 hours 20 minutes. I like the layout, although the greens are in the transition between the winter rye and Bermuda, so they weren’t in the best condition. However, the tee boxes and fairways are in nice shape. The course is doing a good job with social distancing and keeping people from touching objects.

First time playing here.. last time..

I truly hate be so negative, but the only good thing about this round was the gentleman I was paired with. We waited on every hole, and of course, no marshal to be found. The greens were terrible. The course layout is boring, and missing a shot put you on hardpan. There really was nothing good I can say about this course.

Good Day

Booked this round the night before due to the price, and couldn't really have asked for much more for the short notice and $30 fee. The course is a little rough in some areas, but overall, there really isn't anything to complain about. They also, showed that they care about their customers, by doing everything they could to minimize contact during this interesting time. Cups were up, which was interesting, but I like the idea. Doors were propped open to minimize touching handles and no signing receipts at the counter. I had a good day on the course and would recommend for anyone just looking to get out and play for cheap.

Not a course I'd play again

Very disappointed in this course. Fairways were rough, greens very rough, and. There are a ton far better courses to play in the Phoenix area of better value for the money.
