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.

Still Needs Maintenance!

The “water” areas are garbage dumps. Neighbors are dumping construction materials in them, and the marshes and weeds are fully grown.. Pin placements were extremely difficult. And the condition of fairways was less than desirable.

The fee to play this course during the prime season in Arizona was less than desirable. It’s way overpriced when compared to other public courses in much better condition.

Beautiful layout

It is unfortunate that the lack of TLC or simply put love is lacking on this course. There are no ball washers as they where stollen during Covid and never replaced. Hence the green fee price.

Do not go by the pictures that are uploaded on the internet😩

Somewhat disappointed

Not what we expected.

Almost no help from staff was found. Cart was filthy and course in below average condition. The Cafe looked decent. Bucket of balls was $37 for 30!

Decent course for the money paid $62 for a 130 tee time . Don’t think I’d pay a whole lot more as course is pretty dry overall. Greens were excellent though and tee boxes were good shape just lotsa dry patches in fairways . Staff were friendly. Pace was slow on back nine. 4.30 round and didn’t play #18 there was a group playing very slow in front. Coulda used a Marshall just to keep pace up a bit but overall was a good experience

Frustrating start, overbooked mess, unorganized operation

Booked my time through golf now multiple days in advance for a solo 1:16 tee time. Got to the course with ample time, and to my surprise was rushed on to the tee box by the starter, as they moved my time to 1:07 without communicating. By the time I got the the tee box after being tossed around with my bag in my lap on the way there, my “group” had already teed off and was ready to run down the fairway. After holding up the 3 some I joined and getting to tee off we continued the round. Within 2 holes the pace of play was atrocious. With tee times every 9 minutes, we were held up on every tee box and fairway, and had a couple guys hitting into us behind us. By 13 this twosome of guys passed us up even though we were being held up by a foursome in front of our group, without even asking or letting us know. Old guy I was paired up with was upset enough to call the pro shop and they didn’t do a thing about it. Luckily we made the most of the round, but man was this an unorganized, over booked mess. Do better kokopelli…

Conditions were sub par

Staff was friendly, pace of place was great, layout was fine. The conditioning though for paying 97$ was to be desired.

Pass on this one

We thought it would be ok to spend a little less while warming up in the desert. Pass… rough is just dirt and fairways are a mess. Greens could be ok for some holes. Not worth $45 let alone close to $90. Pass..

Needs work

Greens, tees & fairways were good but don’t get off them. Rough and hazard areas poorly maintained and don’t give the course a very nice appearance. Only played because we just left the snow behind and the green fee was cheap.

Good staff, good pace.

Okay day, greens were punched but they should have been rolled afterwards lots of tufts sticking up which really affected putts. I don’t mind the punching, completely necessary but finish the process. Pace of play was really good and the starter is fabulous.
