About
Tres Rios GC at Estrella Mountain Park (formerly known as 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. Tres Rios GC at Estrella Mountain Park features multiple tee boxes for a variety of different golfing options.

Worth the money
The staff was friendly from the start course was very nice greens were good a little dust but the course was challenging for us would play this course again
Good rate
The fairways were a little thin but other than that the course played well. Look forward to playing again.
Mystery
Today I played this course for the first time. The tee box, fairways, and greens were in terrible condition. The course has 3 paved cart paths for 18 holes. You are literally off roading in the cart trying to navigate. There were 3 holes with yardage markers in the fairways. I feel like this course is either closing up shop or someone has recently purchased after it had been run into the ground. I am new to Arizona and trying to play the many course the area offers. I would not recommend this course.
Hi, we are sorry that you didn't have a good time with us the other day. We had some brutal weather that left the course in rough shape. We are working towards improving it so we appreciate your patience during this time. Your feedback is important to us.
Very poor condition
This course was in terrible condition. Very poorly maintained. More dirt then grass. Fairways were indistinguishable from rough dirt patches.
The greens were patched-most T boxes were very rough. Out of 18 holes there were two that actually looked like a real golf course
We would highly recommend that GolfNow no longer list them. It is obvious this course was once an absolutely gorgeous golf course. It has been allowed to become delapidated
Hi, sorry to hear that you didn't have a good time. We are working to improve the course so we appreciate your patience. We hope you'll consider coming back in the future.
Affordable golf!
Tres Rios could be in better condition, but it's pretty darn good for the money! Being one of the last few affordable courses in the area, we really can forgive the course conditions and rather appreciate the great staff, decent food and folks out having fun on a golf course that allows us to play MORE OFTEN!! Thanks, Tres Rios!!
Not Worth It
Simply not worth it. It seems like a great price but you get what you pay for. Horrible customer service from Lori the GM, not promising if that's how the leadership talks to and treats customers. Horrible course management. Horrible course conditions from the tee box to the greens. I would think they have access to plenty of water with all the broken sprinklers flooding in several areas throughout the entire track but that's not the case. Don't bother making the trip. Go check out Falcon. They are the same price point, friendlier, better shape and more convenient.
Hi, we are so sorry that you felt this way. Here is an update from Lori: "The winter has been cold and rainy, but we wanted to take a moment and let you know all the good things going on at the course. Tres Rios is pleased to let you know that we hired a Superintendent and he has been doing a great job in his first few weeks. The course has taken a beating with all the rain and storms in October during the overseeding process. We are working diligently every day to make the course better. The areas we are improving on is the irrigation system, each day we fix more of the leaking sprinklers and old pipes. Many of you know that I have always loved being at Tres Rios! I promise that we will keep working hard for all of you ! We will be back in the best of conditions very soon! So, in the meantime, enjoy the Happy Hour half off range balls 11am-1pm, the great rates, the amazing sub sandwiches and my wonderful staff!" We hope this will provide some information regarding the conditions. We hope to see you again in the future.
Course with great potential
Wow good layout, no houses and middle of nowhere. Obviously not well managed and very poorly maintained. Nonetheless pretty busy with high handicap players. The greens were in very poor condition and it was like putting on a worn carpet. However, with long carry off the t and well designed fairways this place could be great.
Hi, we appreciate your feedback. We are making improvements to the course, so stay tuned! We want to return it to its optimal condition, but it will take some time. Your feedback is always very important to us. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Good value, great fairways and average greens.
Pace of play was very slow. Had to wait on nearly every shot, 5.5 hrs is a long round. But I was joined up with some friendly people and the laughs were frequent and fun. The greens needed some help but overall very playable. The fairways are in excellent condition as long as you stayed on the short grass.
Hi, thank you for the four stars! We are glad that you had an enjoyable round with your group! Your feedback is important to us, and we hope to see you again soon.
Greens
This course is a good track but.......
Pace of play is slow. Also don't mind choppy fairways but, the greens and bunkers are horrible. The one thing I think should always be in at least good condition are the greens. My opinion
Not worth more than $20
Played here with a friend. This time of year in the Phoenix area you expect the courses to be in good condition. This course has just been neglected. Sand on the greens dyed green, to look like grass. The fairways look like mid-summer dry crusty grass. The only water is broken sprinklers in a few fairways. I paid $23 to play here it was barely worth it.
Hi, we are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your round of golf with us. Your feedback is important to us, and we hope that you will come back once the course improves.
Never again
First it took about 10 minutes for us to check in and there was only one person in front of us. Second he only let twosomes go out instead of foursomes which would've saved time. Third the first Green had chunks of grass missing from us like it was purposely removed. Fourth the rounds at 4 1/2 hours to complete. Fifth there was so much sand and holes in the greens you really never got a true roll. 6th there was dirt everywhere.
Never again. I took my dad here because he hasn't golfed in 20 years and this was his first experience of Arizona golf? Spend five or $10 more and go somewhere else, anywhere else.
Hi, we are sorry to hear that your last experience with us fell short of your expectations. Your feedback is important to us and we hope that you will come back again soon.

greg foursome

Bad shape
The course is in awful condition, I used to golf here but wont be back until course improves.

In Poor Shape
I have played at Tres Rios for over 10 years. The course used to be quite playable, and had improved a lot over the years. This year is an exception. Dry fairways, rough not maintained, terrible greens with large dead spots and partially sanded, hard bunkers with little sand, rough dry tee boxes, cups improperly set (some almost even with the green surface, loose cups, compact sand that prevents the flag from going into the cup center more than 1/2 way), and a green fee price that is too high for a course in deplorable condition are all reasons I will probably not return.
