ESTRELLA MOUNTAIN REGIONAL PARK: PROPOSED MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT

TOPIC: Junior National Foundation - Expansion of existing Tres Rios Golf Course.

PURPOSE: To provide golf programs for underserved youth in the Maricopa County communities.

REASON: Expose at-risk youth to experiences and opportunities they may not have access to; this includes developing skills in operating a business.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Junior National Foundation, a non-profit organization, will invest approximately $24 million to renovate the existing Tres Rios Golf Course and build a new course:

•  New 18-hole championship golf course
•  5,000 square foot Junior Resource Center
•  Expand or new Golf Maintenance facility
•  New and remodeled golf course restrooms
•  20,000 square foot new clubhouse with underground cart storage

IMPACTS: Due to the proposed expansion, Parks may need to reroute several trails.
