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.

Not great

We played this course 2 years ago and was good value for money at that time.. Course has gone down hill since we were here last. Greens, tees, bunkers and fairways not in good shape. We would rather spend a few more bucks and play something more decent.

Course has died...

This course used to be a cheap, enjoyable, round of golf... now every bit of the course is terrible including the staff. Tee boxes were either dead or un-mowed. The fairway was spotty at best. And the greens were painted blue-green and had repaired spots full of sand.

The starter is very friendly and the other staff at the course that we had contact with were wonderful. The couple we golfed with were great. The pace of play was similar to other golf courses. The course is in rough condition. The fairways are extremely dry and I’m not sure what has happened with the greens but they are terrible. They are dry, patchy, and have bumps in them. Even with the great staff and inexpensive cost of the round I would not recommend this course.

Hi Marly, we are so sorry that the course experience was not the same as with our staff. We have had some rough weather that has made the course into less than desirable conditions. We are working to restore it to prime shape, so please give us another try in the near future. Your feedback is much appreciated.

Needs Work

Course is in poor condition. Greens are in rough shape and hard. Fairways are hard with not much grass on them.
I played this course two years ago and it was in much better shape then.
Pace of play was okay on the front nine but very slow on the back. Total round took almost 5 hours.

Reflector Tape too much to ask??

Even with a cool and wet “winter” the course is ridiculously dry and bare. That seems to be a given so...

Can you at least put reflective tape on the flags so I can get an accurate distance??? Three flags were broken anyway. Can’t imagine that costs more than $25 to do.

No Value

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 sorry to hear that you had a poor experience with us the other day. The winter has been cold and rainy and all these storms in October during the overseeding process gave our course a beating. We assure you that we are working hard to restore the course (improving the irrigation system, fixing leaking sprinklers and old pipes) to its optimal shape soon. Please be patient as our staff (including our new Superintendent) work towards making our course a more enjoyable experience. Your feedback does not go unnoticed.

Cheap, but ...

Tres Rios is generally a great local course with great pricing. Unfortunately, it's not even worth the great pricing any more. The fairways are dead AND painted green. The sand traps are mud traps and the greens are mostly seed.
I would rate the course a 3 out of 10 right now.

Very Disappointing

Course looks horrible, greens are rock solid with sand bumping your ball around on putts. Fairways are patchy with dead spots all over. Sand traps are rock solid with weeds growing out of them. Trash on the course in the weeds. Very disappointed. Will not return, its ashame.

Disappointing.

This course used to be in decent shape and fun to play. Not anymore. Tee boxes have little or no grass, sand traps have weeds growing in them, fairways are sparse and the greens have patches and have green dye on them.
