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.

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.

Welcome Back

Its been at least 5 years since I played the course and the other reviews did not lie. The investments in money and greens staff have paid off beautifully. Even with the overwatering the course drained well and was very playable. Greens were a little slow, but again that's summer golf in AZ. The staff was very friendly and pace of play was 3.5 hours at 6:50am.

I will definitely put this back in my rotation

Forgiving Course, Nice Staff.

I love Western Skies Golf Course. I think you will too. Wide fairways, big flat greens, not too many bunkers, and onboard GPS make this course pretty easy. And the people there are always super friendly! Five Stars!

First Time Playing

Friendly course

Nice course, it was in great condition for this time of year. Greens and fairways were in great shape. The staff was accommodating and friendly. The only negative was we had a 7am time and their was no food or drink service available. Sure missed my coffee. I'll be back for sure.

Glow up

Western Skies used to be an average track, but they've stepped up course maintenance, amenities, etc., and have made the course great value for the price. Always enjoy playing here.
