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.

Course is very wet everywhere

Way too much water is being used. Your ball, clubs, shoes, etc. get very dirty. Greens are quite slow but in fairness, consistent.

Improvement

Since last year they have made a big improvement. If they'd go just a little more workability, more seeding along with lots of watering could get this course being a great course. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Pace of play

Took 6 hours to complete our round and a Marshall was no where to be found. Course was in good shape. But not regulating pace of play made for a poor experience.

Repair needed

This course use to be well kept up. As I was driving to the course I called my son and told him I was playing Kokopelli Golf course he’s said it was in such poor shape that his friends won’t play there again, I how see why. They were patchy fairways greens that need receding. I just overall course condition was poor. I like Kokopelli but unfortunately it needs a lot of work. Just my opinion.
