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.

Cart girl was great!

Although we were told that we would be announced; at tee time we ended up going out 15 minutes after our time, without an announcement. desk service not great. After the round, I went to bag drop to put a tip on the cart; but cart was gone. I planned to get drinks from our cooler and leave the tip. So, not a great experience. The course was good considering they were scalped. Cart lady was very efficient!

Way too wet!

Standing water in fairways required drops even when dead center. Approach shots were very frustrating because even landing the ball 1 foot short of the green didn’t get the job done. It was a very frustrating morning!

Average Track, Overpriced

It’s not a bad course at all. It’s just not that special. I felt like a lot of the 4’s were just driver, wedge, putter so it got a little boring. The 3’s were longer so it offered a challenge. All the greens had little to no break, so there wasn’t a lot of skill besides getting the speed right. Everything was a little overgrown, tee boxes, fairways, etc. A little disappointed for $60+

Stop overwatering!

The fairways are underwater and it is impossible to “bounce” a ball onto a green. It’s way too wet!

I Love This Course! Five Stars.

The people at Western Skies are their best asset, and the course is really fun to play for all skill levels. Straight-ahead layout with wide fairways, excellent grass, and big flat greens allow even hackers like me to score. You'll love it like I do. Five Stars! R. R.

Won't play again in the afternoon

You have to pay for range balls here. First time out at 1:50 and was paired up with another beginner. We kept pace but there were three groups of four in front that were playing much slower. Two foursomes got backed up behind us waiting as well. The course layout was good with plenty of wide open fairways. Not too many hazards to watch out for, so I would recommend this for beginners. There is water present and you have to hit over water on a couple holes but plenty of room to hit to the side.

Fairways are close together; multiple times other groups came into our fairways to hit their balls back into their direction. Because of the delay in pace, I did not get to finish my round, disappointed in that, especially for paying over $40. With my tee time, I should have had at least 30-45 mins extra. Not sure when the best time to play here would be but Sat. afternoon is not one of them.
