Golfer Reviews
Great Course, Fantastic People!
Western Skies is a forgiving course that is always in perfect condition. The entire staff there treat everyone like royalty. That includes Jim, Austin, Mike, Donald, Annika, Matt, Ryan and all the others! Richard R.
Western Skies course
We enjoyed the course. Some nice long fairways, some really nice PAR 3 both short and long, and the bunkers were decent. I’d play this course again. I’d also like to thank them for having ice in the chest. Ball cleaning stations I didn’t really see. Greens I thought were slow but it was nice to chip around the green and not worry about it running completely through, though I prefer quicker greens.. course is mainly flat but I loved the humps and sand traps protecting the greens. Staff was awesome! Carts very nice with GPS!
Ok course
I have played here several times now over the past 5 years. The course conditions are always about the same, and I would say average. The most disappointing thing is the way the prices are going up. I paid $80 and that was a Hot Deal rate. I would like to see a course like this around $65-$75 as the standard rate. I would also say that the music played around the clubhouse is a bit much. We could hear it from out on the 8th tee box. I'm sure the neighbors don't appreciate that.
Good shape, fair price.
Western Skies is a decent course that I have played over the years. It had a spell of a few years where it dropped into a bit of a funk (dry, poor fairways etc.), but it has come back nicely in the past 4 or 5 years. This isn't some plush Scottsdale resort, but it is a nice little track that has some fun holes. Course was in good shape, faiways, greens and teeboxes were good. The rough was cut close and it was dry, so it was easy to play from too. Staff has always been friendly and upbeat. No stuffiness, just play and have fun!
Small customer service problems
It would be nice to have bag boys greet you as you pull up and take your clubs to a cart, as you have to walk a distance from the parking lot to the carts.
Also we saw a beverage cart only twice and then she never checked with us to see if we wanted anything, she just kept on driving. We certainly would have liked to purchase something. Other than that the course was in good shape and challenging and we would definitely play again.
Western Skies good value in the East Valley
Beautiful weather, course in good shape. Tee boxes could use some work.
