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.

Round in Kokopelli

There was a freeze delay that impacted the start and pace of the round. Nevertheless, the staff gave a basket of practice balls on the house.

Bathrooms

The course was in good shape and fun to play, unfortunately the course bathrooms were outhouses. For ladies it was atrocious. The holding bins for the sewage was inches from the top. These outhouses were not pumped out in a long while. This was not acceptable for men let alone the women.

Fun & Challenging

This course is got a lot of green space for this area. There are a lot of moguls and large sand bunkers that make it challenging. We would have liked a map on the score card or on the cart because it can get confusing deciding which path to take. All of the employees were friendly. We enjoyed our round and will return.

Hi i01852, thanks for your thoughtful review! We're glad you enjoyed the course and found it challenging. We recently put a QR code on our scorecard and when you scan it with your phone you will actually see a map of the Golf Course and a GPS for yardages. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Hi u014074115, thanks for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the restroom facilities didn’t meet your expectations. Cleanliness is a top priority for us, and we're actively addressing this issue to ensure a better experience for everyone. We do have them cleaned out by an outside company weekly and checked by our staff daily, we apologize if it missed by our staff that day. I will speak with the team, and we will get better on this matter.
