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.
Fun, Forgiving Golf Course, Nice Staff!
You'll like Western Skies. I love it. It's a very forgiving course, and the people there will be very friendly and helpful. (I should know, I need a lot of help! lol) Enjoy!
Course was in great shape ( minus a ground under repair area) the only issue were that the greens were running slow
could use more water on course
The staff is great! The course is forgiving but could really use more water stations on the hot days ( all summer) but always love playing here!
Quality as always
The course was in really great shape considering its 110+. I played a similarly priced course a couple weeks ago and it was in terrible shape. Western is the best quality and value and always a top choice. The staff is always friendly and accommodating, practice green was well kept and consistent with the greens on the course, love the layout.. long fairways are wide and parallel to other long fairways, so even misses can be forgiving, making the course fun for even beginners. If there was anything to not rate a perfect 10, it’d be bunkers… Some a little soggy, others completely dry and rock solid… but to be fair, maintaining light fluffy sand in Arizona summers is a tall task and they’re still better than most. Love playing here!
Fun Course, Nice People!
Wide flat fairways and big soft greens make this a great course to score on. It's long from the tips, but very friendly from the forward tees. The grass is always perfect, and the people there are so friendly! Even to me! Especially Maddie, Pays, Mike, Ed, Kyle, Isaac, Geoff and even Jim! lol I love this course! (I shot 76 from the white tees!)
Most Fun and Best Value in Town!
Great, forgiving course, nice people at Western Skies. You'll enjoy it.
Fun Course, Fun People!
