About
The golf course at the Western Skies Golf Club has a traditional layout with many different challenges and beautiful views. Surrounded by picturesque mountains and valleys, the course offers a taste of the countryside, which is further enhanced by the many aged Mesquite and Pinon trees sprinkled throughout. It features tree-lined fairways with generous landing areas and tricky water hazards. Two notable holes are the 4th and 7th holes, both par 3s. Although it is a modest 186 yards, the 4th hole requires a carry over water to a heavily bunkered green. Western Skies Golf Club's 18th hole is a drivable par four with water along the right side, making this an exciting finishing hole.

Hidden Gem
Played 18 holes and got paired with a random 3-some and had a great time. Staff was nice and helpful. Course was in good condition and had a great time. Will definitely play here again.
Good round
The course was busy with out of town people but we still got around in 4 hours (we usually play a round closer to three and a half hours)
Good value
Greens and fairways are excellent .
Pro shop staff was good and pace of play acceptable
Can’t ask for more than that
Great Western was Great.
I really like this course.
Easy check in and even though there was some construction at the practice range it worked out well for pre round warm up.
Teed off at the almost exactly our tee time.
Fairways and greens were in real good shape.
Literally no waiting for the group ahead and the group behind didn't push us either.
We all had a blast and want to thank Great Western for keeping golf fun.
We’ll maintain wish the price would be lower would love to play the course more often but as a senior it’s a little expensive. Should have a senior discount . That would be great.
Basic enjoyable day
12:25pm tee time ran on time! Nice putting and chipping warm up area and driving range is available. They used a great speaker system to announce who was on the tee and on deck that when warming up you could easily know when to start. Be aware the first hole is a distance away and out from the pro shop and across the street.
Snack shack was handy (right next to hole 10 tee). Greens in good condition and consistent but somewhat slow. Sand traps played as they should with good sand volume. Restrooms clean and available.
Carts had GPS and on course refreshments were available at several points. I felt the course played long as the fairways and around the greens were plush and green.
Good value via a hot deal and other Golf Now member discounts. Paid $72 total. I enjoyed the experience and found the day manageable mostly because for many years I wanted to give it a try.
Good place to play
Best shape i have seen it in 5 years. Staff was incredibly friendly and the layout is good for all levels of golfers.
Value received
It was our 3rd round Great staff and T time spacing. For the cost it’s very affordable. We will. E back
Bad Pace
No course ranger to be seen. Pace of play was very slow for a mid day on a Wednesday
Huge Improvements Since My Last Visit – Course Looks Fantastic
I played Western Skies for the first time in 5+ years and I was honestly impressed with how much it’s improved. The course is in great shape from tee to green, and everything feels much more maintained than I remember. The facilities have also been nicely updated and it just has a cleaner, more modern feel overall. Great experience and I’ll definitely be coming back soon.
