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.

Good for the price and would go back

Sometimes hard to tell where the next tee box was. Most greens really thick grass some were a little worn down. Good value for the price and would play here again.

Tres Rios

The course is in fabulous condition, fairways are green, geeens are in really good condition. If you like playing the long ball there's plenty of holes and if you like shorter holes you get them also.

Course Sucks

This course needs some serious work. Greens were thick then bald and patchy. Grass wasn’t mowed anywhere outside of fair and finding balls was impossible. Course Lay-out was alright and the carts were so slow, I could have walked faster. Hot Dogs were 4.50 and sub par. Course seriously wants to make you quit golf.

Good value

Tres Rios is a fun course that poses its challenges. Keep it in the grass or you have tree trouble or hitting out of dirt. Some greens need some work as there are some dead spots. But this is an affordable course and fun to play. I wish they would not raise the cups and instead use foam inserts or turn the cup upside down.

They wouldn’t even give you a pencil,

They won’t give you a pencil. Fairways where either dry and hard causing balls to bounce funny or over grown slowing down low runners. Greens where hard, but slow very sandy very. Haven’t played there in years. Will be a few more before I go back.

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.
