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.

The course was pretty much the same as last year. Greens rolled good with average speed.

Best Value in the Valley

A morning tee time in spring at any full length par 72 18 hole course in the valley is probably ~$130 or more on average - so getting on here at 8:30 AM for 100 dollars is already a huge win. The course is simple straighforward, with out and backs for each 9 between endless suburban track homes, just like 70% of the golf courses here. Not really any grass in the rough and bare dirt up to the home fences, but fairways were perfect, and the greens were every bit as good as any you'd find on a troon managed course. The course is pretty easy, plenty or room to the right side if you tend slice the driver as a right hander. (I do.) You just can't beat this course for the valve in the prime season. If I lived a little closer I'd play it every weekend.

Western Skies

I am a bogey golfer. The course is very forgiving with decent fairways and fairly easy approaches. The greens roll fairly true and are mostly straight. In comparison to other courses I have golfed in the area it is a decent value. The club house staff was friendly and helpful. The only drawback was the beverage cart driver that just kept going even after we waved to them and yelled for them to stop.

Nice course for the everyday golfer

Really liked the course! Layout is forgiving with nicely kept sand bunkers. Fairway in good condition. Greens very nice and semi-fast. All in all a very good value. We started right on time and finished in four hours with only a. Little waiting on the back nine. Price is higher than it used to be, but so are the prices anywhere in the valley these days. Staff were super nice too. Will definitely be back.

Nice course

I wish I could give my game a 5-star rating but I played terribly that day. In spite of that, it was a very enjoyable course to play- challenging but not too difficult. Fairways and greens were on great shape. There was some standing water due to last week's,s heavy rains but otherwise very nice.

Nice course but a little rough around the edges.
Good pace of play compared to other az courses.

Great staff , fun course

I play approximately 75 different courses each calendar year. I can usually tell within the first 5 minutes at a property how the day will go. Walking into pro shop at WS I was greeted warmly and treated great by staff. Any questions were quickly and professionally answered. The course has nice layout, great greens and good pace of play. I will definitely play there again.
