Rating 70.3

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.

Solid Round

Played in 115 degree heat on a Thursday afternoon. Probably a little overpriced for a Thursday late afternoon round, but all about location. Course was in good shape, would be nice if it was maintained a little better as you get off the fairways. Would play again sometime

ALWAYS FIVE STARS for Western Skies

No, it's not a $300 course that you'll shoot 90 on. It's a $40 course that you'll break 80 on. So golf snobs can keep on scrolling! The course is always in great shape, and the people there treat everyone like family. You'll like Western Skies.

Fun Course, Fantastic People!

FIVE STARS for Western Skies. I like the wide fairways, big flat greens, limited trees and bunkers, and short par 4's! But it's the staff there that make all the difference. They work with me on tee times, and treat me like family. You'll like Western Skies.

Five Stars! Fun Course, Nice Staff!

I didn't pay $300 to play here, I paid about $31. Golf snobs can play somewhere else. Everyone I meet at Western Skies are great, and the course is very forgiving! FIVE STARS

Fun Course, Great Staff, Five Stars!

I shot 79 in 3 hours, and hit 13 of 14 fairways! Western Skies allows people like me to score! But it's the people there that make it special for me. All of them, from John and Kyle, Isaac, Geoff, Brad, Matt, all the way to Maddie and Leah! Everyone there treats me like family! You'll enjoy the course, no matter your handicap. So, Five Stars!

Skies is a hidden gem.

Overall the course was in great shape. Looked like the greens were maybe “small tine” aerated in the past week with very light sanding. But they rolled great. Fairways were good as well as tee boxes. Will play there again soon. We played 18 in under 3 hours and it was awesome!! Give it a go!!
