Golfer Reviews
A Great Local Favorite – Western Skies Golf Club
We play Western Skies at least once a month and always enjoy our experience. The course is in nice condition, has a great layout, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. The greens were a little slow when we played, but that was understandable since it was just after overseeding. Overall, a great course that we enjoy coming back to!

Love this place.
Great course and great people.
Everyone is friendly and helpful and the cart girl, Leah is awesome.
Fairways, greens and tee boxes are In great shape.
We played a four hour round even though it was cart path only.
Western Skies
Just off seasonal change over. The greens and fairways were pretty much perfect!
Value
Great course, Goof value for the price. Play was a little slow, but that is only because of the cart path only rule right now after overseeding. Cart and snack shack has very limited options for both beverages and even chips. Other than that, the course was fantastic. Had a great time.

We like to play this course. On this day, we had to play cart path only on every hole. This negatively impacted the pace of play and scores. If you have to walk all the way across the fareway to get to your ball you may not have the right club for the shot and have to use what you took to save time. The greens were also very slow which cost us all strokes. The pace of play was ok but slower than we normally play. Besides the carts, the drink cart was stopping in the middle of the fareway to sell beverages which held us all up. Paid too much for these conditions.
SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! THIS IS A DOG TRACK!!
I called the day before I made the tee time and asked about the course conditions. I had played there before and knew it wasn't top tier course but a playable track. I was told they were good. An absolute lie, there was not one blade of grass anywhere on the course. The greens were also hard as rock. The WORST conditions I have ever seen there. There is no way that 2 weeks of overseeding will make any difference!! A shame, this used to be a decent course but now it isn't worth playing!!
Good condition for October
My buddy and I had a great time playing here yesterday. The fairways and rough were all in decent shape. The greens were bare in numerous places, which I thought was strange for this time of year unless they overseas their greens? Overall, a very enjoyable day. One great thing about this course is that it’s pretty wide open off the tees, but you have a lot of challenging shots into the green
Western Skies in the rain
Paid for 18 holes but only played 9. Very wet conditions. Stopped raining for only 1 hole. Greens rolled very true.
Slow pace of play.
I played Wednesday after the rainy weekend. The course was in good shape and overall enjoy the round. The pace of play on the back nine was extremely slow. They really need to have a Ranger out there on the course moving people along.
Great Golf
I was a last minute single that was able to join a group of seasoned golfers. What a GREAT TIME! The threesome were very funny and friendly helping me with the course layout. Course was great. Fairways and greens were in good shape after all the previous rain. I’m looking forward to playing there again.
Great course
My second favorite course in Arizona. Great conditions one week pre-reseeding. And, it is reasonably priced for the Phoenix area.
Good Value for a good course
The course was in better shape than most courses this time of year. Sub 4 hour round
