Fun course
The course was in great shape considering the extreme heat .. fairways green and the greens also well watered.
Not super challenging course but fun for all level of players. Great round
Nice day of golf.
Course was in decent shape as it transitions from winter to summer grass.
The foursome two groups in front of us was the challenge. Made the round longer than it should have been.
Fair Test, Great Folks.
Western Skies is always in fantastic shape! Even in high summer! I don't know how they do it. The entire staff are super friendly to everyone. Even me! Richard R.
Super Friendly Course, Super Friendly Staff!
Like the title says... I don't know how they keep this course so green in mid-summer! All the people that work there are really nice! R.R.
Great Course, Great People!
The temps are high and the scores are low! (I broke par for the 1st time ever!) The course is always in great shape, and the staff always treats me better than I deserve! And you can bring your own hydration! Richard R.
Too slow
We stopped at the turn after the front 9 took close to 3 hours. There was no course marshall to keep slow groups moving, and such groups lacked awareness to let others play through.
