Rating 70.6

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.

Great Course for the Price

Played on a Sunday afternoon at 3:10. Pace of play was good and didn't have to wait much. There is no rough and the ground outside of the fairway is hard and compact. Overall good for the price.

Great Place to Golf

Overall, the experience was great. The course was in great condition and we never had to wait. The staff were friendly yet professional.

My only disappointment was that one person in our party of three had to ride with a complete stranger (the single that joined us).

Frequent Player

I play Western Skies a lot and overall it’s a fine course. But they are allowing to many leagues taking up tee times and the leagues are slow. They seam to always score while on the green and wait for the green to clear before hitting their second shot and they are over 200 yards out. The non league players seem to play the tips and don’t hit a 200 yard drive making the group behind wait because we play the correct tees

Great Course, Fantastic Staff!

FIVE STARS for Western Skies! I love this course, and I play it often. I shot 76 with an eagle on the 1st hole Tuesday! The staff there always treat me like family! The course is great for all skill levels, with wide fairways, lots of grassy bail-outs, short par fours, and big flat greens. Enjoy! Richard R.

Fairly reasonable yet

Easy to find easy check in. Parking lot could use repairs. Clean carts with ice and sand bottles. Runs on time. Tees pretty good but par threes need some divot filling. Fairways good Roughs pretty good. Bunkers good Greens putt nicely. Played in 3:50

Good course for the price

Course was in good condition, greens included. Pace of play was slow, but it had just rained the day before so it was carts on cart path only. Staff was helpful and friendly. Driving Range in ok shape. Overall a good value for the money.

Western Skies GC is in good shape

Enjoyed a pleasant round in just under 4 hours. The driving range grass was very poor. Tee boxes were in fairly good condition; fairways were a bit sparse in places; rough was dormant Bermuda grass or dirt, sand traps were full (though some were wet), with greens being smooth and running true. Pace was great for the front 9, with the back 9 slowed by the group ahead, who was lagging behind the group in front of them by upwards of a hole (no ranger/marshal was seen). Value was good.
