Staffing is taken seriously. They're a close knit crew to the owners, one of which is a legend in the sport. Anyone could knit-pick select issues such has the price on a case of paint, but on a whole the organization is very very well run.
As for the fields... The huge amount of space is to be blunt, GREAT! They boast over 700 acres where most top notch facilities have 80 to 150 acres. But for Skirmish it's overkill. You'd need days to play all the fields. As best I've learned, hardly used. I play major scenarios which use the same field locations year-after-year.
What is important is the ground. Most ALL paintball injuries are sports related, not from from paintball markers but from people injuring themselves while running, jumping etc... Some of the land at Skirmish is rough. The woods have a good bit of exposed rocks and roots. So be advised, pick fields (from 50 fields) that are clear of roots and rocks. This is NO joke.
If you are a first time paintballer, you'll have a great time at Skirmish. They will over photography services and upgrades to really great paintball markers so don't expect a standard rental paintball gun to hold you back if you think you want a better marker to shoot with.
While the ground and price of paint is my only real concern at Skirmish I can't give them less than 5 stars because it's honestly a great organization that despite these minor issues is still well above scores of other paintball facilities across the US.
If you have a chance to play at their Castle, do it. It's a once in a lifetime experience you should not miss out on. To see actual footage search DangerMan and or Beginner Paintball.
