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.

Course is in extremely poor condition

The course is in terrible condition with huge areas bare hardpan dirt. There were areas of ground under repair on almost every hole. Rough around the greens (second cut) was 3-4inches deep making it difficult to even find your ball. Staff was very nice and professional but the condition of the course is unforgivable. We will not return again.

It’s getting a lot better!

This course has drastically improved. Prices are still too high. The fairways are in good shape, tee boxes are green, and the rough is long but healthy. The greens look healthy but they need to be cut and rolled. Excess water throughout the course. It’s getting better but it’s not quite there yet. Hopefully they continue the work they’ve been doing.

Not well maintained

It’s a tight challenging course, rolling hills and greens…the fairways and greens were in decent shape, green from the rain and new grasses, but they have a water drainage problem, a lot of pooled water where it’s not meant to be, so you’re losing balls even after hitting good shots and have to drop…if you don’t hit the fairway you’re playing out of dirt. I assume the standing water will be gone in a few days, leaving more rough muddy areas. Give it another week to dry out. Also, as of today, the sand traps were dirt, had more weeds than sand, no racks in these bunkers either( but there was no sand anyway)…bring plenty of balls, challenging course, but we still had a good time, friendly staff

Overseed well done.

This course always has many bald spots. But the overseed has set it up for a good winter.

Overseeded Needed ASAP 10/5

Friendly staff. I know a lot of the course conditions are related to the upcoming overseeding schedule, but was nonetheless disappointed. Called the pro shop a few days prior asking greens conditions, to which the response was “very good”. Greens are sadly not very good and among the slowest in the Valley. Had I known this I would have taken my business elsewhere. My score was inflated as a result, causing chips and approaches to veer well offline with inconsistent green responses.

Many, many dry spots, over saturated with water causing pools of water all across course (many mosquitoes). Perhaps wait to play here until overseeding. Enjoyable layout but not worth the $40+ fee; hoping to come again after overseeding.

Slow pace!

Called the pro shop on the 3rd hole because we had waited 10+ minutes to tee off on each hole. There were 3 groups waiting to tee off on 4. Was told there was no Marshall available by the pro shop to help with pace of play. We left after 11th hole because it was miserable waiting. Should have requested a refund but just wanted to get out of there.

Course is in bad shape

Course us under repair every where. No bathrooms on the course i could find. Range balls on almost every hole. When the Haboob hit the dirt all over the course along with all the grass clippings just added to the misery.

Sorry there are much better courses nearby.

Thanks for the feedback, 2014crest! We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. Sounds like our course was having a rough day—maybe it was in a cart path-only mood! We’re committed to improving, so we’ll be rolling up our sleeves (and maybe some grass) to get things back on track. Hope to see you again soon for a much better round!

3rd Time Playing

The course layout was great, offered its own unique challenge with the hills and long fairways. Pace of play was a big issue, didn’t see any rangers going around to enforce it. At least 3 times in the 18 holes, we had 6 carts at the tee box.

It surprises me every time I’ve played here but there is a real mosquito problem with a lot of small standing bodies of water.
