Course Highlights
The course layout consistently earns praise for its rolling hills, moguls, and long fairways that create a genuinely challenging round. Friendly staff and reasonable rates make this a smart alternative to pricier options in the Phoenix area.

Located a short distance from Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix and Arizona State University, Kokopelli Golf Course is a championship length course that offers many interesting challenges. The rolling terrain creates sloping greens and undulating fairways. A majority of the teeboxes and greens are elevated as well. The course also has large multiple island tees and water hazards in the form of meandering lakes that come into play on several holes. The signature hole of Kokopelli Golf Course is the par-5 18th hole. The dramatic finishing hole calls for a shot off an elevated too followed by an approach shot past water to an elevated green.

Koko

Koko was in decent shape. Looks like they are trying to get the course in better shape. The driving range is under construction but I like the concept they have for it. Staff was great. There was not cart girl on friday but they gave me healthy pours at the turn. Had a fun round of golf.

Under maintenance

Unfortunately, the course was under heavy maintenance during my visit, and the entire back nine was closed. It would have been nice to know that before booking or to receive a more significant discount. The layout has potential, but the current conditions made for a disappointing experience. Hopefully the improvements pay off because the course has a lot of potential.

Pleasantly surprised!

We were sent out on the back nine and it was soaked but it still played well. Greens were solid and quite frankly, the roll of the ball from the previous group was still seen in the dew which helped our reads! The front nine was dry so it ran more true. Greens were good for this time of year. For $36 at 604am it was a steal! We finished in 3.5 hours.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Usiel30! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your round, even with the unique challenges of the back nine. It’s great to hear that the greens played well and you found value in your round. Here’s to more rounds of golf where the only thing soaked is the enthusiasm! Looking forward to your next visit!

The course was in the best condition it has been in sometime.

2 years ago I walked off the course swearing I would never return. But, I heard from a few people the course was making a come back. I have always liked the challenging lay out so I tried the course again and was happy with the improvements. The greens even though a little bumpy were very receptive, holding shots and looking very nice. There was a lot more grass on the fairways with very little bare spots. The bunkers were all playable now, with the sand consistent through out the course. Hole 6, par 5, is still almost unplayable with not enough landing area on the 2nd shot but the course said they are looking to fix it. Most of the smaller lakes are now drained and not sure what they are planning on those but oh well. Over all, the course has made great improvements, not quite all the way back but good enough for me to want to come back --especially for the price. This is not a course for beginners though as the course layout is challenging. Good job Kokopelli !!!

Good value with early tee times

Overall good value at $30, and it was nice to have a 5:45 tee time for obvious reasons. Only big criticism would be the mud. This course is always muddy every time I play here.(coupla times /year)

We appreciate your feedback on the value and tee time. However, it's important to note that course conditions can vary, and we continually work on improvements. With the heat we are in we do have to water a bit more than usual and are working on this issue. We're proud of our efforts. Hope your next round is a bit drier!

Not well maintained

Only one hole was properly maintained (18th hole). The rest were in horrible shape. Multiple holes had tons of old range balls all over it. Just not what it used to be

Thanks for your feedback, Ronnisue. While we understand that conditions can vary, our course has been receiving positive reviews from many players who appreciate the improvements made. We work hard to maintain our greens and fairways, and your experience doesn’t reflect the overall sentiment. It seems you may have come on a day when we were watering more due to weather. Send me an email and I would be happy to get you out on a different day to experience the course the way you intended it, email is Anthonyrodriguez@arcisgolf.com. I hope to hear from you soon.

Pace of play

I have no problem with the pace of play. It’s actually the opposite. A few of my friends and I played on Saturday at a very brief pace. Nobody in front, nobody behind… until hole 3. Then we see a group behind us — 2 men sharing a cart with their wives or girlfriends who weren’t even playing. The pace was normal once they caught up to us (we’d be leaving the green as soon as they stepped on the tee box). Not 3 holes later, the ranger drove up to our group saying to pick up our pace of play as people were waiting long times on tee boxes. We said sure. At that point we were teeing off on hole 7 and on pace to finish 9 hole in under 2 hours. Absolutely unacceptable by staff (or group behind who lied about pace) to mention that to our playing group. Finished 18 in under 4 hours and the group behind us even stopped playing after 9. Terrible golf experience always feeling like you’re holding up the groups behind you (which we were not doing, but were accused of). I will never play at this course again in my life.

Course is in better condition than the last time we played at this location. However, there are several fairways that have no grass. The surface in the affected areas was smooth mud or silt. Not great for hitting off.

On a second note, the golf carts are beat up and in need of replacement. The greens fee is higher than they should be for the current overall condition.

It has been 2 years since we played this course. Much has improved in regard to the overall experience. I would note that a challenge remains with the golf course. Several of the fairways still have dirt covered fairway spots. Hopefully, this will be cured before the heat and sun of the summer hits us.
