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.

Pretty good value for money.

Reasonable green fee. Course was ok though greens were on the slow side. Overall a fairly Ho hum layout with too many bare waste areas. However had an enjoyable day.

Two Nines

I enjoy playing this course, however, pace of play came to a crawl when we hit the back nine. The pro shop was letting people off the back in two's. We played the front nine in 1:45 and the back nine in 2:45. At several points there were 3 (one time 4) groups on the same hole. I understand getting groups out on the back in the mornings, but they should be doing them in foursomes.

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!
