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.

Nice Par 72 Course in Great Shape, Fast Pace, Friendly Folks!

Western Skies features wide fairways, big fair greens, only two easy forced carries over water on #4 and #18. Somehow the course is always in beautiful shape, and the pace of play is excellent. The entire staff, and even the players I meet there are always friendly!

Par 72 Course in Great Condition, Friendly Staff.

Course has wide fairways with no houses right in your way, big fair greens, and several short par 4's. The bunkers have good sand, but many are often wet. I can't say enough about how friendly the staff are, and the cart service is great. Especially with Maddie, Leah and Payson. R. R.

Fun Par 72 Course in Great Condition, Nice People!

I like Western Skies so much because of wide fairways, short par 4's, big forgiving greens, and there's no houses encroaching on my tee shots. Playing time is always excellent, and the staff and even the players I meet there are super nice! (Not a golf-snob among them!) Five Stars! (Pic is of two 230 yard drives I hit on the par 5 13th hole. They were touching!)

Western Skies

This is great course for getting started in golf. However the price was higher than other area golf courses for the condition it was in. Even though it was not in great condition, the staff and amenities helped overcome this.

Not bad for summertime

Played 8/28 as a foursome. Carts are electric, had ice buckets and GPS. Tee boxes mostly good, fairways not bad for summer, rough can be hard to find wayward balls, bunkers have sand but was wet due to recent rain, greens good but slow due to rain. Staff was pleasant. Did not use driving range. Beverage cart was around a few times. Filtered water at the restroom stops. Had lunch at Mulligan’s, nothing to brag about food wise there but the service was good. The course track is great for intermediate golfers!

Fun Par 72 Course, Nice People.

I always enjoy Western Skies. Somehow, the course is in great shape 365 days a year! But it's the people there that separate them from the golf-snob courses y'all might play. The staff, and even the players I meet there are always nice, and never snobs! Five Stars!

Course Was In Great Shape in Height of Summer.

They keep this course in great shape year-round. (So many courses aren't.) Tee boxes, fairways and greens are always well trimmed and green. The bunkers have good sand, but many are sometimes wet. The staff there are super nice, and the Cart Ladies are always available with refreshments and snacks.
