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.

Better choices around

Have played this course hundreds of times. I know this is difficult time of year as grass is transitioning. But, absolutely worst conditions since well before COVID. Ironically, they still use COVID as reason to not have drinking water on the course. Tried to charge me full rate even though I had a pre-paid Hot Deal. Not sure if new owners have taken over, but if they have, this was not a great first impression

Fun course, bunkers leave something to be desired.

Overall, the course was in decent shape. The bonkers though were very inconsistent. Some areas are normal, others are hard pan and other areas are in between. You may be in a spot where the bunkers are fairly normal and less than 2 feet away it is hard pan.

Great Course, Great Staff!

The course is forgiving, with wide fairways and big, flat greens. The staff is forgiving too. They put up with me about 80 times every year, and always treat me well! Including Mike, Jim, Kyle, Jeff, Ryan, Matt, Donald, Payson and Ash. Love this course!

Home course and a solid one but charged the wrong amount

Love playing this course and play here often. Only complaint is that when I played there last I was charged significantly more at the course than what Golf Now said. Didn’t realize until after I left and went home and looked. Not sure why this happened but not cool.

Nice Surprise Close to Home

Discovered on GolfNow good value for 9 holes caught my attention. Reviews looked promising about the course, and brought my own water. For the value, it was decent course with a couple of par 5s and GPS on the carts that was easy to use. Did not try the food, but bought top and gloves in the proshop, not unreasonable. Even had a dressing room. The ProShop attendant came out to offer explanation of delay for our 4 some because we were teamed with other 2 some and they ran a little late and then the earlier golfers making the turn, set our tee off behind about 20 mins. The fact that he came out to explain was definitely a good sign. The GPS also let you know when you were behind pace which was good. Overall very good experience for value. We will return for sure and tell some friends about the course, too.

not what it used to be

Other than the greens, course conditions have taken a turn for the worst. grass around the bunkers overgrown. countless bare spots throughout the course. needs much green keepers attention to get it back to where it needs to be.

Western Skies…. Good golf for the money

I’d recommend WS for a round of golf for the price. It’s a decent course with decent greens for the money. If your looking for a big challenge this isn’t it but for a 14 handycaper like me it’s perfect to refining your skills.

Decent Course

This course was pretty good. Average conditions with not so spectacular views. Some road noise band pace was a bit slow.

Decent but very slow play

Good course, 40 minutes behind schedule

No marshal and there was a group of 8 playing

Also don’t see the beverage cart on the back 9, to hot to be without a drink

Soft greens, beautiful day

Love this course. Every green held nice. We were shooting for the Flags on every hole. Putting was very true and smooth. Bunkers had great sand. 3:53 hour round. $84 and worth it.
