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.

Expect slow pace of play

Card says 4 hr pace of play. Our round took 5.5hrs, waiting on groups ahead of us at every tee. No field marshals, no effort made to keep pace of play to what the card states. Expect a slow really slow round of golf at this course.

Great for the $23.00 hot deal.

In the last couple years this course has been poorly managed and maintained fairways are right off the roof is nothing but dead. The greens need some serious help also. But like I said great for $23 this time of year.

Worst pace of play ever

Paid for 18 holes and managed to play 9 holes in 3+ hours. We sat along with 3 other foursomes at every tee box. When we went into the clubhouse after 9 holes and asked for our money back we were told that a 6 hour round is the norm in the valley. This course is a joke.

Hi Thomas, we are so sorry that your round of golf was interrupted by slow pace of play. A 6 hour round is not a normal pace of play by any means. Your feedback is important to us.

Very forgiving course

The greens were in poor condition but the ball rolled fairly well. The tee boxes were in very poor condition. This is the worst I’ve seen this course in the winter and I’ve been playing this course for almost thirty years.

Not in the best of shape. Overseed didn't appear to take as fairways and greens were spotty. Rough was just hardpan, dust, and dirt. But with prices $150 and up this time of year, it is one of the few I can affordably play

Terrible conditions

Greens were painted where grass should be grown. Fairways were very poor and weeds were growing because there was no competition from grass. Very poorly maintained course.

Disappointed

The condition of tres rio golf course has deteriorated badly, I would say some of the fairways and greens were ok, but there were weeds and dead grass everywhere. The bunkers were hard and packed with no sand in them?
I have played the course about 18 months ago and it was certainly in a much better condition then than it is now.

poor maintenance

The maintenance of the course is awful. Fairways are in very poor condition and so are some of the greens. The course is screaming for water!

Nothing worse than booking a time, coming out to the course and THEN finding out it's cart path only. Would have loved a heads up ....

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.
