About Southwest Golf Management LLC DBA Junior National Golf Club
Junior National Golf (formerly Tres Rios) is one of the early tracts designed by renowned desert golf course architect Robert “Red” Lawrence. Mr. Lawrence was often called the “Desert Fox” after designing the first desert course in the Phoenix area, Desert Forest Golf Club and many subsequent desert courses. The original course, called Sierra Estrella Golf Course, was designed, built, and opened in the early 1960’s. Over the years, and a few name changes, the course became less of a desert course and more “parkland” in style with grass planted throughout the course where the desert once greeted stray golf shots. Non-native eucalyptus trees were popularly planted over the years as well. Our goal is to bring Red Lawrence’s desert golf course back, not just to where it was, but to make it better than it has even been, for everyone.
