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.

Terrible Greens

When we first started on hole 10 because that’s how they had us start, there wasn’t any signage at all. We also had the greens keeper mowing the greens and to wait for him on several holes he didn’t put the flags back in and left a ton of grass cuttings on the greens.

One of the worst courses in the valley.

I have paid for this course three times, and I will not ever do it again. The staff was fine; the clubhouse was fine, but the course was TERRIBLE! I was hoping the wait in between rounds here had resulted in better course conditions, but each time I have played here I have been greatly disappointed. Shame on me for thinking this course would improve. Each time the fairways have been in terrible shape; it’s been dirt with some grass patches here/there. The two best fairways were roped off as cart path only. I suspect that’s because they are near Mesa Dr/McQueen and those holes can be seen from the road so they don’t want people knowing the course is in bad shape. The course has been soaked/flooded every time I have played here regardless of the time of year. There is mud just about everywhere throughout the course. It never seems to change. It’s a shame this course charges what they do for such terrible conditions, but what’s worse is enough people pay it to keep pushing Kokopelli to charge what they do. I am guessing that is why they force you to pre-pay to make a tee time via Golf Now. This was the last time I’ll ever pick this course for a round.

Save your money

First time playing course today and will be last. The course is more dirt and mud than nice green grass. Most of fairways are dirt and mud, one hole sprinklers came on and we were soaked as well as cart and bag. Marshall came up and was not friendly and made us pick up our balls and join another group in front of us due to having several groups in a row of 2 players. We were the last group of 2 and he passed the other 2 groups and forced us to join be the ones to join one of the other twosomes in front. There are far too many other better options in the area!

Dear StevenC TP,

Thank you for taking the time to share your visit with us, and we are extremely sorry for the course conditions in certain areas. With the intense heat it does take a lot of water to keep the course playable, and we obviously have some irrigation/drainage opportunities the team is trying to address every day. We apologize again for your visit, hopefully you will give us another chance.

Thanks again, have a great day.

Needs more grass

There were so many bare spots on the fairways it was almost unplayable. The course was also heavily watered so all the bare spots were muddy. This course is not worth playing at any price.
