Kokopelli Golf Course

Don’t let past reviews sway you from playing Kokopelli. They have put a lot of money, time and work into improving the course conditions and it’s absolutely worth playing. Greens were great. Fairways are much improved (a few holes still need some love but I know that love is coming). Once the range is back open this will be a regular rotation course for me

I love this course it's a fun layout. Only issue right now is the cart paths are covered in dirt from rain runoff they need to clean it up.

Controls need to be put in place to prevent a group of 20 people playing in 3 sets delaying pace of play. I did not see a course ranger keeping them in check and moving hem along.

Fairways are half dirt, greens were long and uneven, the mowing crew just left stripes of grass uncut. The place just looks like they don’t care. The staff is nice but that’s about it.

I've played this course probably 75 times. This time of summer it can get a little dog-eared with conditions. But it's apparent that ownership is investing with some upgrades to turf and the range. Facility could use a fresh coat of paint and the carts need some seat repair. But I went for the golf, not the ammenities. It's always played fairly and didn't disappoint. Greens rolled accurately, tee boxes in good shape and traps were actually playable instead of concrete like many.

Course conditions were terrible patchy fairways, greens were in rough shape. My cart died on hole 8, and the fairways were hard as rock

Besides the minor construction around the 9th and 10 th holes where the range is the course was in pretty solid conditions. Greens were pretty nice and the ball rolled nicely. Will definitely come back to play again

Too wet for the price, get a pump and clear some of the water on the fairways.

It was fun playing for the price. The course layout is good, presenting challenges for all levels. Note: at booking, there was a note that the course had recently been aerated a few weeks earlier. That being said, I don’t think I will be going back anytime soon.

5:45am T-Time

Critique:

*Greens were really bumpy and slow (had not been mowed recently)

*Because of the flood irrigation, many parts of the course were really swampy

*Several holes and greens still had active sprinklers during play

*Probably a third or half of the bunkers were flooded and not playable

*Driving range was under heavy maintenance and not open

Positives:

*No issues w the pace of play, we were also the 2nd or 3rd group out

*Back 9 conditions were far better than the front 9

*Greens are small targets, well protected and have tremendous potential

*T-Boxes were the best part of the course

This course can potentially be very fun if catching it at the right time, especially for a muni course.

Currently there’s too much renovation going on making it sloppy and unplayable if you are even slightly off the fairway.

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.

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.

I forgot how difficult this track is with the undulating fairways and bunker placement greens were nice and seems like it is getting better

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.

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 !!!

Haven't played there in years, so I was pleasantly surprised at the condition it was in, in the middle of the AZ summer.

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)

Absolute pleasure to play this course. In good shape super fun layout. Plus the starter guy was awesome. What a great experience.
