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.

They’re trying, still horrible

They are trying and it’s dirt cheap (emphasis on dirt.). Aside from conditions (which are still awful) you never know what you’re going to get in front of you and around you. Slow play is one thing .. players skipping a couple holes and plopping it in front of you is another. That’s the Tres Rios Crapshoot. The course will always be cheap goat track golf .. that brings out the lowest common denominator in players. We’ve had hole skippers, shirtless drunks, cart demolition derby all around us. While they are trying, we’re done trying.

First Time Playing

First off my friends and I enjoyed playing a round of golf together. However, we wanted to buy drinks in the Bar & Grill after our front nine but it was closed for business. We were then asked to cut our round short because the only staff member there said there was a computer issue and the course needed to to be shut down by 12:00. So we made it through the 15th or 16th and returned to the club house before 12:00.

Good for the price.

Played via Golfnow app for cheap. It was 110F, so it was expected that the course would be dry, but it was fun! Interesting design and challenging without being overly difficult. Would definitely return!

Golf in the field

If you want to play a cheap round of golf simply for the sake of practice this is the course to play on the west side.

The entire course including the greens were very dry.

The greens and the fairways were well maintained with the exception of an extreme lack of water.

Compared to the other courses in the area this one could use a lot more watering.

Not what it was in past years

I played this course in past years but haven't been there for three or four years. This course has taken a turn for the worse. Fairways were splotchy at best. Some greens were diseased to the point they were not putt-able and sand traps were packed dirt. A dust devil happened to kick up and the course looked like sand storm in the middle of monsoon season. I know it's not the courses fault for the dust devil, but it does say something about the dusty condition of the course. This one won't be on my list in the future.. It's a shame too. This course has great potential with a little TLC.

Horrible customer service. BEWARE

I use Golf now weekly. The manager has zero idea about customer service. I came over 45 minutes to play, to try out a new course. I called before I booked and she said they were super slow. I booked it and hoped to play by myself. She had a handful of players on the course and she wanted to put everybody as a 4 some that bought the hotdeal. I go to try out new courses and if I like them I return. I like playing by myself. I am busy all week and just decompress. She refused to let me go by myself because she sold it as hot deals. She has zero clue about marketing and customer service. If you are swamped, I understand playing with others, but when you are empty it made no sense. I told her I would love to come back and play if I like the course. She should not be in a customer service business. BEWARE. there are many other places. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. Good thing we are in Arizona and so many courses
