Kokopelli Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Greens
We were the third group to go out and it looked like there was a hail storm on the greens. There was divots all over the greens making it frustrating. For $79 definitely not worth the price. If you enjoy the zen of spending 2-5 minutes fixing divots to putt on every green I would recommend, otherwise it’s a strong pass.
Under Construction
A lot of the homes are under rec-onstruction. The pace is part was slow.
Hi dha1776, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Kokopelli Golf Club has needed some improvements, and we are currently working on them as you noticed. Although, I wouldn't say any holes are "under construction", we currently have 3 holes that are Cart Path Only, but all greens and tee boxes are open and seem to be in pretty good shape. We apologize for the Pace of Play as we are always trying our best to keep the pace moving and having our marshal out their help assisting as well. We hope to see you again.
Don’t Do It!
Course is in absolutely terrible condition! Pace of play is slow because the useable fairway is so small, no roll due to inconsistent grass and water. Course layout was reversed, update with Garmin!!! Not scenic, the view of the junkyard was amusing. Never had 2 sales interactions on a golf course- Make a Wish and Arcis. $83 is still too much, $40-50 and a Marshall that realizes people out there are there because their game matches the course - needs work!! Stop the lies on reviews, it’s a crappy course .

We strive to provide a better experience for all our guests, and your insights will help us achieve that. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and we hope to welcome you back for a better round in the future.
Condition
Too much watering course was muddy on every hole. Traps were unkept, lots of foot prints, need more than one rake for each trap. Lift, clean and place was needed throughout.

We'll address the course conditions and maintenance issues you mentioned to enhance our guests' experience. Your insights are valuable as we strive to improve.

Avoid until new management
would recommended 5 courses before going here, shape is actually pretty good but pace of play was miserable for it being an empty course. Should be a ranger that moves people along, took us 3 hours to play 9 with 10 groups on the course.
Floresaustinn, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the shape of the course, but we’re sorry to hear about the pace of play. There was a marshal out on the day you played. We apologize if you didn't feel his presence or see him enough, but I can assure you that he was out there and working on the pace of play. We appreciate your insights and hope to provide a better experience on your next visit!
Challenging but fun
Staff were very friendly and helpful since it was my first time here. The fairways are full of undulations and many of them have narrow-ish landing areas. If you miss the fairway you’re on dirt but playable. The greens were mostly good but some had many un-repaired ball marks. Fix your ball marks people! My only knock is the low areas were muddy from watering. I had a 12:31 tee time and there was still standing water in places.
Thanks for your feedback, Mtn4mike! We’re glad to hear you found our staff friendly and helpful. We appreciate your insights about the course conditions, especially regarding the ball marks and muddy areas. We’re always working to improve our maintenance and ensure a great experience for all our guests. Hope to see you again soon for another round!
Victor the starter and course Marshall that day was awesome. Very friendly and happy to talk about the course and golf in general.
Hi wcrocco, thanks for the fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that Victor made your experience enjoyable with his friendly demeanor and passion for golf. We strive to create a welcoming atmosphere, and it sounds like he hit the mark. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you back on the course soon!
No tee time course
This is an okay course. Nothing special all other decent course had no tee time and this was a great filler course. Started on time and pace was fair. Very muddy and duck/geese poop everywhere.
They continue to change up course and add value.

It Could Be a Great Tract
Front desk and check in was great. Cart girl was friendly, although we didn't need anything. We saw Two guys on separate carts a few times, one had a player assistant sign. There was probably a two hole gap between groups, yet nothing was done to speed up play. Additionally, they appeared to be more interested in flirting with the cart girl. Several holes were marked improperly regarding pin placement. When I informed the young man about it, he didn't know what I was talking about.
We really love the layout of this course, and it could be so much better. Why there were four holes completely roped off and cart path only didn't seem to make sense. There didn't appear like any work was being done, and they weren't in any worse condition than the rest of the course, and all it did was slow play. Would have been nice to know this prior to booking. Also, the overseed didn't look like it took very well, lots of poor conditions. Guess we can't complain based on the cost.
Some issues
The course was in decent shape. However there were 4 holes with cart path only. At 82 years old I am not liking that.
Hi Dan, thanks for your feedback! We understand that cart path only can be challenging, especially for our more senior players. Your experience is important to us, and we’re continually working to improve accessibility. We recently installed new gravel paths to help with the accessibility. We hope to see you again!
