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.

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.

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!
