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.

Great shape

The course was in great shape n pace of play was excellent. The only complaint I have is that there are few if any ball washers n not much drinking water on the course. Otherwise it was a great experience. Even the grill was top notch. Home made potato chips were a pleasant surprise.

Great Course (except for the wet bunkers!)

Great, forgiving course. Fun for all skill levels. They've always had nice dry, fluffy sand. This year, they've started watering all the bunkers every day! WHY? Peace.

I’ll be back soon

I was actually satisfied with the conditions. I’ll be back to play again soon. The value for the money was good. I teed off at 10:30 and was done and in my car leaving at 1:15. The staff was friendly and got me going. I was able to sneak out ahead of a foursome. The golf shop staff was nice to let me just go ahead of time so I didn’t get stuck behind groups. I saw the cart girl 2x per 9 which was perfect.

Great Course, Great People!

Great course! (Except for the soggy sand traps) They used to have nice, fluffy dry sand in the bunkers. Now every single one of them is wet! I don't know what happened this year. Enjoy this fun course, but don't get in those muddy bunkers! Vote Blue!

Friendly Course, Friendly Staff!

You'll enjoy Western Skies Golf Club. Wide flat fairways, big flat greens, and short, straight par fours make this a forgiving course that's great for all levels. And the staff always treat me like family! Enjoy. R. R.

Great Course, Fantastic Staff!

I play Western Skies Golf Club approx 75 times per year. It's always in great shape, (somehow), and It's easy to score there. The people there are especially nice! (Even to me!) You'll like it there. Five stars!

Overpriced

They are gouging you for beverages. $7 for a single 12 ounce can of domestic beer from the cart girl. Ridiculous!

Amazing shape amidst summer heat!

I have played numerous courses in the east valley of Phoenix and Western Skies has been in the best shape of them all. Playing on a weekday is substantially more relaxing and enjoyable due to less people, pace of play was great. I was a single and had virtually nobody behind nor in front.

Greens were optimal during season, good speed and soft enough to spin the ball backwards. Fairways were hit and miss as some holes had bald spots, but again summer months can be difficult upkeep, but overall in good shape.
