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.

Mediocre Conditions

The course is drying out. Tee boxes are uneven and need cutting. Chipping practice area is ill conceived, most every angle is hitting into hole 10 tee off box. Rough is bare hard dirt but fairways are fairly wide.

Great Condition. Great Pace.

This is my home course. I live in the neighborhood. The course was in great condition And the pace of play wad smooth. We weren’t sitting around waiting at any holes But that could just be we were surrounded by experienced golfers.

Western Skies 18 holes

It was a fun course, not difficult, although I played it as if it was. Can't blame them though.
The only negative I have is that you could hear the loud music from the bar area all around the practic we greens, the driving range, 10th tee box and 9th green. I'm not a music while I golf guy, I seem to be getting into the minority on that. I enjoyed the music after I was done playing and having a beverage at the same bar though. It was rockin'!

Really enjoyed my round here. Paired up with three folks and we all kept pace with the group up front with the only serious wait happening on 18. The weather took a big turn for the worse and made playing the hole very difficult. My one critique is that there was no marshal to help with pace of play, but that had little effect on the day. Will definitely play again.

Not interesting

This course was way overpriced but do understand that your paying more for the time of year rather than the course itself. The course was not a very interesting course but it did include GPS which was a plus.
