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.

Tres Rios is back!

It's been over a year since I played here.

My last review was not as nice as this one will be.

Looks like overseed caught this year and course is 100%

better, greens are spotty in areas but the putts rolled well.

I have always enjoyed the layout here with both long and short par 4's.

Do yourself a favor and go try it out.

God bless and enjoy your round.

Great Value

New gas carts, no GPS, fairways are the best I've ever seen at Tres Rios and the greens were fine for the most part. We've been playing Tres Rios since 2010. As snowbirds, each year we come back not knowing what to expect. Yesterday was a bit of a treat.

Great Improvement

This course has had its ups and downs over the years and I can honestly say it is on an upward swing. Overseed turned out very good, new gas carts, greens are immensely improved and the prices are still fair.
