Kokopelli Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Outstanding
Absolute pleasure to play this course. In good shape super fun layout. Plus the starter guy was awesome. What a great experience.
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
Thank you for sharing your feedback. While we understand your concerns, we're proud of our course's overall condition and the positive experiences many golfers continue to have here. Maintenance is a priority, and we’re committed to ensuring every hole meets our standards. We appreciate your perspective, but we're confident in our team's efforts to provide a great golfing experience.
Beware
This course in bad shape,very wet and muddy while most holes cart path only!! Pass
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.
We appreciate your feedback, but it's important to clarify that our course is running smoothly, and many players enjoy their rounds without issue. We strive for a positive experience for everyone. It's unfortunate that you felt singled out, but our rangers are here to ensure that all guests have an enjoyable day on the course. If you ever reconsider, we’d be happy to show you the experience many others continue to enjoy.

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.
We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear you noticed improvements in the course. While we strive for excellence, we’re confident in our ongoing efforts to maintain and enhance the experience for all our guests. As for the carts, we’re aware and actively addressing upgrades. Remember, every golfer has a unique experience, and we’re here to keep raising the bar. Thanks for your thoughts!

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.
Thanks for your feedback! We're glad to hear you noticed improvements over the past two years. As for the fairways, we’re continuously working to enhance the course, and it’s thriving despite your absence. Rest assured, we’re on top of it and will have everything in top shape long before the summer heat arrives. Your input is appreciated, but we’re confident in the direction we're heading!
Good layout - Missing a lot of grass
Course layout was good, went on a very busy day and had to tee off 15 minutes late due to no available carts. Pace was decent for how busy they were, but a lot of hikes seem to be missing a lot of grass. Several fairways had a large amount of dirt patches which made some shots difficult to play. Greens were in fair condition and overall wasn't a bad round but I played at a hot deal price. Paying full price would have been disappointing in the current condition. I will try again later in the season.
Thanks for your feedback. While we appreciate your insights, we want to clarify that the course has been actively making improvements and is on the right track. We’re committed to enhancing the experience for all our players, and while we acknowledge there’s work to be done, we’re confident our strides will be evident. It’s great to hear you plan to return; we look forward to showing you the progress firsthand!
Disappointing
Haven't played here in 2 years, was hoping to see some improvement, love the design, greens were good, please put some effort into this property.

Thanks for your feedback. While we appreciate your love for the course design and greens, we want you to know that we’ve made significant strides in improving the property. Progress takes time, and we’re committed to ongoing enhancements. Your expectations are noted, but we’re confident in the direction we’re headed. We hope to show you the results of our efforts on your next visit!
Nice course for the cost
The course itself was a little worn. However, the staff was extremely courteous and helpful. The only reason a bad rating was for a couple of locals in front of us. They were very unfriendly, disrespectful and had no clue about golf etiquette. Very disruptive to the game itself, but I can certainly not hold their actions against the course.
Thanks for your feedback, coachtom12. It's great to hear you appreciated our staff! While we acknowledge some wear on the course, we’re actively working on improvements and making strides. We understand that outside factors can affect your experience, but our commitment to enhancing the course remains strong. We believe you'll find it even better on your next visit.
