2 reviews for Western Skies Golf Club
If you enjoy your golf played on rugged asphalt as opposed to green grass, this is the place for you. It doesn't matter if you're in the fairway or rough, the vast majority of turf out there is hard-pan. It doesn't make for too fun of a round when all the shots are played off concrete.
The greens were pretty bad too. They're very firm and inconsistent. One green will hold a wedge shot nicely then the exact same shot on the next hole will hit and roll through the green. They're a little short on green grass too.
They have some good summer deals if you do want to play out here though. I booked on http://golfnow.com and paid $25 for unlimited golf and sandwich or hot dog comes with that. I managed to get 36 holes in in under 6.5 hours.
This course is good for locals who just want cheap golf or hackers who aren't too concerned with conditions and just want a cheap round. They seem to have lots of junior golf activities too. Not my kind of course, though, and I won't hurry to return.

The problem with Arizona and their golf situation is that residents don't get much of a break when it comes to golf. Unlike other high touristy places like Florida or Nevada....residents get around a 30-50% reduction on fees. This sucks for AZ residents because they have to pay super high prices or play when it's slightly cooler than hell. Okay...enough of my rant....Western Skies is a great priced golf course for a really good golf course. The course snakes it's way through a subdivision but I don't feel like I'm hitting over homes to hit the green like other courses in the valley. Western skies has always been in good condition, even under high traffic....the course has good fast greens and wide landing areas. I recommend Western Skies for a good inexpensive round in the valley.
